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.
How it feels
A New York cop is recruited by a secret government agency and trained by an eccentric Korean master in martial arts and disguise. He uses his new skills to stop a plot involving super-strong glass meant for military weapons.

What happens
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, also released as Remo: Unarmed and Dangerous, is a 1985 American action-adventure film directed by Guy Hamilton. The film featured Fred Ward, Joel Grey, J. A. Preston, Wilford Brimley, and Kate Mulgrew. The character is based on The Destroyer pulp paperback series, featuring the character Remo Williams. It fared poorly in theaters and received mixed reviews from critics, although it did earn Joel Grey a Golden Globe nomination. The film and a 1988 television pilot, Remo Williams: The Prophecy, both credited Dick Clark as executive producer. The film was supposed to be the first of a series based on The Destroyer series of novels. A significant setpiece within the film takes place at the Statue of Liberty, which was surrounded by scaffolding for its centenary restoration during this period. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
