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

Hitting the Apex is a 2015 British documentary film by Mark Neale, narrated by Brad Pitt. It chronicles the careers of six Grand Prix motorcycle road racers competing in MotoGP: Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Casey Stoner, Marc Márquez, and Marco Simoncelli. Produced by Neale in collaboration with MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports, the documentary was developed using extensive archival race footage as well as interviews conducted in English, Spanish and Italian over the 2010–2013 MotoGP seasons. It covers events such as Simoncelli's death in a 2011 racing incident, Stoner's shocking 2012 retirement, and Márquez's maiden MotoGP championship in 2013. The documentary received a special screening in Silverstone on 28 August 2015, ahead of the British Grand Prix. On 2 September 2015, it received a wider theatrical release in the United Kingdom and United States, followed by expansion to other territories. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
