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.

A truck driver traveling across Australia becomes suspicious that a driver he keeps encountering on the road is a serial killer who dumps dismembered bodies along the highway. With the help of a female hitchhiker he picks up, he tries to track down the killer and prove his theory without becoming the next victim.
