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
An ordinary man gets swept off Earth by his alien friend just before the planet is destroyed. He then travels through space on a stolen ship, encountering eccentric characters and odd situations.
