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
RoboCop is a 2014 American cyberpunk superhero film that is a remake of the 1987 film and the fourth installment of the RoboCop franchise. The film was directed by José Padilha and written by Joshua Zetumer, Edward Neumeier, and Michael Miner. Joel Kinnaman stars as the title character, with Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael K. Williams, Jennifer Ehle, and Jay Baruchel in supporting roles. Set in 2028, a detective becomes critically injured and is turned into a cyborg police officer whose programming blurs the line between man and machine. Sony Pictures' Screen Gems first announced a remake in 2005, but it was halted one year later. Darren Aronofsky and David Self were originally assigned to direct and write the film, respectively, for a tentative 2010 release. The film was delayed numerous times, and Padilha signed on in 2011. In March 2012, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (successor company to Orion Pictures until September 11, 2014, the studio that released the original film) announced an August 2013 release, but that was then changed to February 2014. The principal characters were cast from March to July 2012. Principal photography began in September 2012 in Toronto and Vancouver in Canada, with additional locations in Hamilton, in Canada, and Detroit in the United States. RoboCop released in the United States on February 12, 2014, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews, being considered inferior to the original film, although the visual effects, the cast performances and the action sequences were praised. It grossed $242.6 million against its $100–130 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
