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.

How it feels

Millions of years later, animals that were kept near human settlements have evolved into intelligent beings. Humans live in a single giant city and have lost knowledge of the outside world. When a young human from the city gets lost outside, she discovers the evolved animals and realizes the truth about her society.

What happens

Resident Evil: Extinction is a 2007 action horror film directed by Russell Mulcahy and written by Paul W. S. Anderson. A direct sequel to Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), it is the third installment in the Resident Evil film series, which is loosely based on the Capcom survival horror video game series of the same name. The film follows the heroine Alice (Milla Jovovich), along with a group of survivors from Raccoon City, as they attempt to travel across the Mojave desert wilderness to Alaska and escape a zombie apocalypse. In November 2005, Screen Gems gained the rights for the third installment in the franchise, which was then subtitled Extinction. Anderson returned as a writer, and filming took place in Mexico with Mulcahy as the director. Resident Evil: Extinction was released in the United States on September 21, 2007, and was released in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2007, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The DVD and Blu-ray versions were released in North America on January 1, 2008. Like its predecessors, the film received generally negative reviews from critics but was a box office success, grossing $147.7 million worldwide against a $45 million budget. A fourth film, Resident Evil: Afterlife, was released in 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
