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

Pathfinder (sometimes subtitled Legend of the Ghost Warrior) is a 2007 American historical action film directed and co-produced by Marcus Nispel, written by Laeta Kalogridis, and starring Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, Russell Means, Ralf Moeller and Clancy Brown. Loosely based on the 1987 Norwegian film Pathfinder, the film is set in the Viking Age, during the Norse colonization of North America. It follows a Norse man named Ghost, who was adopted by local Skrælings (Native Americans) as a boy and becomes a warrior for the tribe. The film was released in the United States by 20th Century Fox on April 13, 2007. It was poorly received and was a commercial failure, grossing $30.8 million on a budget of $45 million; it managed another estimated $22 million in DVD sales. Pathfinder was also adapted into a graphic novel by Dark Horse Comics, which was released a year before the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
