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
Banglasia or Banglasia 2.0 (Chinese: 猛加拉殺手/猛加拉殺手2.0) is a Malaysian action comedy film by Namewee, released on 28 February 2019. The story follows several Malaysians of different races and a Bangladeshi worker as they come together to defend the country comically against the invasion of the fictional Luk Luk Kingdom. The cast includes Namewee himself, Bangladeshi actor Nirab, Malaysian artists Saiful Apek, David Arumugam of the Alleycats, Shashi Tharen, Zhu Youliu, Singaporean artists Atikah Suhaime and Yoo Ah Min/Lao Zha Bor. The budget was more than RM 2 million, and was shot in Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street. The film was made in 2013. Despite having completed filming in that year, Namewee revealed in a 2014 video that the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia had banned the original film version over scrutiny of 31 scenes that were deemed objectionable by the board. The original uncut version was shown in 2015 at three film festivals. On 12 February 2019, five years later, after having 7 scenes reedits or cut, a small reshoot and updates, the board finally approved Banglasia for public screening in Malaysia, retitled Banglasia 2.0.
