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 man creates a substance that promises immortality. Two brothers on a desert planet challenge him for control.

What happens
Divinity is a 2023 American science fiction film written and directed by Eddie Alcazar in his directorial debut, and starring Stephen Dorff, Moises Arias, Jason Genao, Karrueche Tran, Michael O'Hearn, Emily Willis, Scott Bakula, and Bella Thorne. Steven Soderbergh announced the film in September 2021, joining as an executive producer. The film began production in the same month and continued till late-2022 as a course of a seven-phase shooting schedule with intermittent breaks, instead of a traditional film production process. Much of the filming emphasized use on film stocks and shot entirely in black-and-white reversal formats, rarely used in mainstream filmmaking. The film had its premiere at Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2023, and was released theatrically in the United States on October 14, 2023. It received generally positive reviews for Alcazar's direction, screenplay and the science fiction elements, but criticized for the grotesque nature. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
