I don't think that the plot contains all that. In the example I have
seen, the X axis contained "year of release" and the Y axis was for
"popularity level from 1 to 9".

No I am saying that a lot of movies will have same year of release and same popularity. Those movie points will overlap on the 2D space, what then?
 
There were buttons at the bottom to select genre but this was not part
of the data points.
