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
A man pretending to be someone else climbs out onto a high ledge and threatens to jump. He insists on talking to a specific police negotiator. He is actually a disgraced former cop who wants to prove he was framed for a diamond theft, and his friends work on a plan to expose the real crime.
