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
Babylon A.D. is a 2008 science-fiction action film directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and written by Kassovitz and Éric Besnard, based on the 1999 novel Babylon Babies. It stars Vin Diesel as a mercenary tasked with smuggling a superintelligent young woman named Aurora to America. The cast also includes Michelle Yeoh, Mélanie Thierry, Lambert Wilson and Mark Strong. It was an international co-production between France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The film was released in France on August 29, 2008, by StudioCanal. It received negative reviews from critics, and failed to meet commercial expectations, grossing $72 million against a $60–70 million budget. Kassovitz disowned the finished film, claiming that 20th Century Fox had interfered throughout production and that the film did not represent his intended vision. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
