The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

211 (released in some territories as Code 211 or The Bank Heist) is a 2018 American crime action film directed by York Shackleton and written by John Rebus, based on a screenplay by Shackleton. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Dwayne Cameron, Alexandra Dinu, Michael Rainey Jr., Sophie Skelton and Ori Pfeffer. Very loosely based on the 1997 North Hollywood shootout, the plot follows a policeman and a teenager who are locked in a violent shootout with heavily armed bank robbers. Filming began in Bulgaria on February 27, 2018 and concluded on April 27, 2018. "211" refers to the California Penal Code for robbery, although the film is set in Massachusetts, which does not use that number. 211 was released on June 8, 2018, by Momentum Pictures. It earned $1.1 million at the box office and received mostly negative reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
