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

Excessive Force is a 1993 American action film. It was directed by Jon Hess, written, co-produced and starred by Thomas Ian Griffith and released by New Line Cinema. Despite being panned by critics and becoming a box office bomb, the film had a direct-to-video sequel, called Excessive Force II: Force on Force (1995), that bears no relation to this film and does not follow its storyline. Shot on location in Chicago between March and April 1992, Excessive Force was released in May 1993. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
