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 man with a terminal illness asks his friend to help him escape the hospital. They get frozen in a cryonic experiment and wake up decades later in a changed world. The man tries to reconnect with the wife and daughter he left behind.
