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

Red Planet is a 2000 science fiction action film directed by Antony Hoffman. The film stars Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Tom Sizemore. The plot follows a team of astronauts who search for solutions to save a dying Earth by searching on Mars, only to have the mission go terribly awry. Red Planet was released in the United States on 10 November 2000. The film was a critical failure and a box-office bomb, only grossing $33.5 million against the budget of $80 million and is Hoffman's only feature film to date. Red Planet was one of two films released in 2000 that depicted an expedition to Mars; the other was Mission to Mars, which was released eight months earlier. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
