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

Devotion is a 2022 American biographical war film based on Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice by Adam Makos, which shows the comradeship between naval officers Jesse L. Brown and Tom Hudner during the Korean War. Directed by J. D. Dillard and written by Jake Crane and Jonathan Stewart, it stars Jonathan Majors as Brown and Glen Powell as Hudner, with Christina Jackson, Daren Kagasoff, Joe Jonas, Nick Hargrove, Spencer Neville, and Thomas Sadoski in supporting roles. Devotion premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in IMAX at the Ontario Place Cinesphere on September 12, 2022, and was released by Columbia Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States on November 23, 2022. While it received positive reviews from critics and audiences, it was a box-office bomb, grossing only $21.8 million worldwide against a $90 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
