The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Timescape, released on video as Grand Tour: Disaster in Time, is a 1992 American science fiction film directed by David Twohy and starring Jeff Daniels and Ariana Richards, with a cameo appearance by Robert Colbert, one of the co-stars of Irwin Allen's 1960s TV series The Time Tunnel. Twohy wrote the screenplay, which is loosely based on the 1946 novella Vintage Season by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore (writing as Lawrence O'Donnell). It was released in 2023 on Blu-ray by Unearthed Films with the title The Grand Tour. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
