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
The Mist is a 2007 American science fiction psychological horror film produced, written, and directed by Frank Darabont. Based on Stephen King's 1980 novella of the same name, the film stars an ensemble cast including Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher and Toby Jones. The plot follows a group of people in the small town of Bridgton, Maine, who become trapped inside a supermarket after a mysterious mist envelops the town, concealing deadly, Lovecraftian creatures. As fear and paranoia spread, tensions rise among the survivors. While the film is primarily a monster movie, it explores how ordinary people react under extreme circumstances. Darabont notably altered the novella's ending, a change that King praised, stating that people who spoil the film's ending should be "hung by the neck until dead". The Mist was filmed in Shreveport, Louisiana, beginning in February 2007, premiered at ShowEast on October 18, 2007, and was released in the United States on November 21, 2007, by Dimension Films (through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), with The Weinstein Company distributing in international markets. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, and grossed $57.3 million on a $13–18 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
