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
Samurai Commando: Mission 1549, known in Japan as Sengoku Self-Defense Forces 1549 (Japanese: 戦国自衛隊1549, Hepburn: Sengoku Jieitai 1549), is a 2005 Japanese feature-length film and manga series focusing on the adventures of a modern-day Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) element that accidentally travels through time to the Warring States period of Japanese history. Both the film and manga are based on Sengoku Jieitai (aka "Time-Slip" or "G.I. Samurai", 1979), an action film which starred Sonny Chiba as the leader of a JGSDF platoon sent back to feudal Japan. The manga series was drawn by manga artist group Ark Performance. The scenario was written by Fukui Harutoshi, based on Ryo Hanmura's original novel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
