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

The Astronaut's Wife is a 1999 American science fiction thriller film directed and written by Rand Ravich, in his feature directorial debut. It stars Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron. Released on August 27, 1999 by New Line Cinema, the film was negatively received by critics, who drew unfavorable comparisons to Rosemary's Baby (1968), and panned its pacing and poor chemistry between the lead performers. Additionally, it was a box office bomb, grossing $19.6 million against a $34 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
