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

Roger Corman's Operation Rogue (aka Operation Rogue) is a 2014 direct-to-video action film and, although not the sequel to Corman's The Hunt for Eagle One, and The Hunt for Eagle One: Crash Point, has many similarities to them. Following the same format of the earlier films, the story again takes place in the Philippines and involves international terrorism. The film was produced by the legendary B-movie producer Roger Corman and stars Mark Dacascos, Sofia Pernas, Treat Williams, Joe Suba and Christopher M. Elassad. Like the earlier action films, there is the inclusion of a major star; Rutger Hauer appeared in The Hunt for Eagle One, while Jeff Fahey was in The Hunt for Eagle One: Crash Point.
