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

What happens
Dear Evan Hansen is a 2021 American coming-of-age musical film directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Steven Levenson, based on the 2015 stage musical. Ben Platt plays Evan Hansen, reprising the performance he originated on stage. The cast also includes Kaitlyn Dever, Amandla Stenberg, Nik Dodani, Colton Ryan, Danny Pino, Julianne Moore, and Amy Adams. Dear Evan Hansen premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2021, and was released in the United States on September 24 by Universal Pictures. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $19 million against a $27–28M budget, and received generally negative reviews from critics. Some of the criticism was aimed at the casting of 27-year-old Ben Platt as a high school student, which some attributed to nepotism, as his father Marc Platt was a producer on the film.
