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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

V: The Final Battle (abbreviated as V:TFB) is a 1984 American science fiction TV miniseries. It is a sequel to the 1983 miniseries V written by Kenneth Johnson about aliens known as "The Visitors" trying to take over Earth. Johnson parted ways with NBC over creative differences regarding the content of the miniseries; his writing contribution is credited under the pseudonym "Lillian Weezer". With a budget of $14 million (one million more than the original four hours), production was delayed until script finalised in December 1983 and filming commenced in mid-January 1984, concluding in late March just six weeks before air date. V: The Final Battle is included in the V novelization written by A. C. Crispin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
