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 wealthy magazine publisher is disfigured in a car crash and starts to lose his grip on reality. He must figure out what is real and what is a delusion as his life becomes increasingly strange.

What happens
Vanilla Sky is a 2001 American science fiction psychological thriller film starring Tom Cruise as a magazine publisher who begins to question reality after being disfigured in a car crash. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe, who also produced with Cruise and Paula Wagner, it is an English-language remake of the 1997 Spanish film Open Your Eyes, which was written by Alejandro Amenábar and Mateo Gil. The supporting cast includes Penélope Cruz (who reprises her role from the original), Kurt Russell, Jason Lee, Noah Taylor, and Cameron Diaz. Released by Paramount Pictures on December 14, 2001, Vanilla Sky grossed $203 million worldwide against a production budget of $68 million and initially received mixed reviews from critics. Diaz earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations, and Paul McCartney's song "Vanilla Sky" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. The film later developed a cult following. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
