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
Paycheck is a 2003 American science fiction action film directed and produced by John Woo. The film was written by Dean Georgaris, and based on the 1953 short story of the same name by Philip K.

Hall in supporting roles, the film follows a reverse engineer who finds himself hunted by both the FBI and a billionaire CEO after his memory is erased. Paycheck was released on December 25, 2003, by Paramount Pictures in North America and DreamWorks Pictures internationally to negative reviews from critics and grossed $117.2 million against a $60 million budget.
