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 middle-aged man reluctantly transforms into a giant to fight monsters, but he is more concerned with his mundane family life and fading career. The movie mixes a fake documentary about his daily struggles with the campy monster battles.
