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
In a future where people live in a controlled domed city, a scientist discovers a secret about the society's rulers. The movie follows his attempt to expose the truth.

What happens
Island City is a science fiction television pilot movie that was aired by Prime Time Entertainment Network in 1994. The film was produced by Lee Rich Productions in association with Lorimar Television. It is the last TV film to be produced by Lorimar after the company shut down in 1993. Due to low ratings and the high costs associated with producing a sci-fi television show, no other episodes were filmed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
