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 police robot designed for law enforcement is stolen by gangsters and reprogrammed to think and feel like a child. The robot named Chappie learns about the world from his new criminal parents while hunted by the police and a rival inventor.
