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

A young woman has a premonition of a deadly highway crash and blocks cars from entering the pile-up. She and the other survivors soon start dying in freak accidents, as if Death itself is hunting them down.

What happens

Final Destination 2 is a 2003 American supernatural horror film directed by David R. Ellis from a screenplay by J. Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress, based on a story by Gruber, Bress, and Jeffrey Reddick. It is a sequel to Final Destination (2000) and the second installment in the Final Destination film series. The film stars Ali Larter, A. J. Cook, and Michael Landes. The film follows a young woman who saves a group of drivers from a highway pile-up, which she predicted from a premonition. She must find ways to defeat Death after the survivors begin dying in freak accidents. After the financial success of Final Destination, New Line Cinema contacted Reddick regarding plans for a sequel. Since the original film's crew was unavailable, New Line replaced most of the production team. Filming took place in Vancouver and Okanagan Lake. Final Destination 2 was released on January 31, 2003. The film received mixed reviews from critics. It grossed $46 million domestically and $43 million overseas, earning $90 million internationally against a $26 million budget. It was also nominated for four awards, including the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film. The highway scene was called the "greatest car crash scene in movie history" and was nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Action Sequence. A third film, Final Destination 3, was released in February 2006. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
