The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels

What happens
Alien, la créature des abysses (Alien degli abissi) est un film italien réalisé par Antonio Margheriti, sorti en 1989. C'est un film de science-fiction horrifique au ton écologique, dans lequel revient le thème récurrent du réalisateur Margheriti — la Terre en danger —, consistant cette fois-ci en des activités humaines polluantes. Le titre fait référence au film à succès de Ridley Scott Alien, le huitième passager (1979), que le monstre du film imite, mais aussi à Abyss (1989) de James Cameron, et des clins d'œil aux classiques du genre horrifique reviennent au fil du film. C'est le dernier film de science-fiction réalisé par Margheriti. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
