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

Pan is a 2015 American fantasy film directed by Joe Wright and written by Jason Fuchs. The film is an alternate prequel to the 1904 play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, better known for its 1911 novelization, Peter and Wendy, by Scottish author J. M. Barrie, and focuses on an alternate origin story for Peter Pan and Captain Hook. It stars Hugh Jackman as a fictionalized version of Blackbeard, Garrett Hedlund as Hook, Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily, and Levi Miller as Peter Pan. Pan's world premiere was held in London on September 20, 2015, and it was theatrically released in the United States on October 9, 2015, by Warner Bros. Pictures. Pan was a box-office failure, only grossing $129 million against a production budget of $150 million, resulting in significant loss for the studio. It received negative reviews by critics, who criticized the writing, the plot, characterization, the casting of Mara, and the heavy over-reliance on special effects, though the performances and musical score received some praise.
