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

Greenland is a 2020 American disaster film starring Gerard Butler as the father of a family who must fight for survival as a planet-destroying comet races to Earth. It is directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Chris Sparling. The film also stars Morena Baccarin, Roger Dale Floyd, David Denman, Hope Davis, King Bach, Merrin Dungey, and Holt McCallany. Originally scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States, Greenland was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was released domestically by STXfilms, through video on demand on December 18, 2020, and then to streaming on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video. It was also released theatrically in other territories, beginning with Belgium on July 29, 2020. The film received generally positive reviews. The film grossed $52.3 million worldwide with a production budget of $35 million. A sequel, Greenland 2: Migration, was released on January 9, 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
