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
In a future where people can finance organ transplants but must pay on time, a repo man violently repossesses organs from those who default. A young woman with a rare blood disease navigates this dystopian world while her father tries to protect her.

What happens
Repo! The Genetic Opera is a 2008 American musical film. Described as a gothic rock opera, the film was directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and based on the 2002 stage musical of the same name, written and composed by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich. It stars Alexa Vega, Anthony Stewart Head, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, Nivek Ogre, Terrance Zdunich, Bill Moseley, and Paul Sorvino. Repo! premiered at the Fantasia Film Festival in July 2008, followed by a limited release on November 7, 2008, on seven screens in various cities. It received mixed-negative reviews, with primary criticism for its bombastic gore and writing. However, the performances were praised. Similarly to, but not to the same extent as, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Repo! has achieved cult status and a devoted following. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
