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

Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 is a 2001 American apocalyptic action film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring Michael York, Michael Biehn, Diane Venora, R. Lee Ermey, Udo Kier and Franco Nero. It is a follow-up to the 1999 film The Omega Code, though rather than a direct continuation, it serves as part prequel and part alternate retelling. Like its predecessor, Megiddo was co-produced by the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and premiered there. It had a significantly larger budget ($20 million) than its predecessor ($7.6 million), but was less enthusiastically received. It has developed a cult following in some circles, and Nathan Rabin described it as "delirious, top-notch camp." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
