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

Superfly (or SuperFly) is a 2018 American action crime thriller film, serving as a remake of the 1972 blaxploitation film Super Fly. Directed by Director X and written by Alex Tse, it stars Trevor Jackson as a drug lord trying to complete a final job while surviving an assortment of enemies. Jason Mitchell, Michael K. Williams, Lex Scott Davis, and Jennifer Morrison also star. Rapper Future wrote original songs for the film, and produced alongside Joel Silver. Superfly was released in the United States on June 13, 2018, by Sony Pictures Releasing. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the style but ultimately found the film lacking substance. The movie was a box office disappointment, only grossing $20.8 million on a budget of $16–29 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
