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

Land of the Lost is a 2009 American science fiction adventure comedy film loosely based on Sid and Marty Krofft's television series of the same name. It was directed by Brad Silberling, and written by Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas. The ensemble cast includes Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel, and Jorma Taccone. The film follows a disgraced scientist, his assistant, and a theme park owner who get sucked into a space-time vortex and find themselves surviving in an alternate dimension. The film premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on May 30, 2009, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 5, 2009, by Universal Pictures. It received negative reviews from critics and was a box-office failure, grossing $69 million worldwide on a $100 million budget. The film received seven Golden Raspberry Award nominations, including Worst Picture, winning Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
