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
This is a comedy action film about Nazis who escaped to the moon after World War Two and built a space fleet. They return in 2018 to invade Earth. The story is a political satire with silly and exaggerated humor.

What happens
Iron Sky is a 2012 science fiction comedy action film directed by Timo Vuorensola, who co-wrote the screenplay with Michael Kalesniko from a story by Johanna Sinisalo, based on a concept by Jarmo Puskala. It tells the story of a group of German Nazis who, having been defeated in 1945, fled to the Moon, where they built a space fleet to return in 2018 and conquer Earth. The story also incorporates elements of political satire. Iron Sky is one of the most expensive Finnish films. Iron Sky comes from the creators of Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning and was produced by Tero Kaukomaa of Blind Spot Pictures and Energia Productions, co-produced by New Holland Pictures and 27 Films, and co-financed by numerous individual supporters; Samuli Torssonen was responsible for the computer-generated imagery. It was theatrically released throughout Europe in April 2012. A director's cut of the film with 20 additional minutes was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 11 March 2014. The film received negative reviews, focusing on the film's execution and dated humor. A video-game adaptation titled Iron Sky: Invasion was released in October 2012. A sequel, titled Iron Sky: The Coming Race, was crowdfunded through Indiegogo and released in January 2019, to a more hostile critical reception and a box office bomb, culminating in the bankruptcy of two production companies involved in the sequel's production: Blind Spot Pictures, and Iron Sky Universe.
