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
New Alcatraz (named Boa on VHS and DVD), is a 2002 American direct-to-video science fiction action horror film. It was directed by Phillip Roth and starred Dean Cain. In the middle of Antarctica, a high maximum-security prison called New Alcatraz has recently become operational. When a mining crew inside the prison accidentally drills into a strange rock formation, a giant prehistoric snake is unleashed upon the prison and goes on a killing rampage. It is up to the prison staff, inmates, paleontologists Dr. Robert Trenton and Dr. Jessica Pratt-Trenton, and a group of soldiers to hunt down and eliminate the beast. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
