The movie drags on worse than the book, which makes it feel that much more "preachy." It's impossible to suspend one's disbelief when all of the characters are nothing more than 2-dimensional cliches wading through a philosophically inept story. Save your money and find something more constructive to do with your time.

This vision of Atlas Shrugged is true to the book. The actors do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life and really bring out the personalities as originally conceived by Ayn Rand. Negative reviews about the film seem to be from those who simply do not like the story and the warning Rand tells. So, no adaptation will ever be good enough for the very folks this series of movies is portraying. Awesome movie; awesome story!

Really well done version of part 1 of the book. Assuming you're looking to watch a movie version of this particular story, you won't be disappointed - this is the part the producers/writers took seriously. Acting is good (not surprised the careers of the main two actors have taken off), altho they all seem slightly young for the characters. Nice visuals and music. A good experience. (Unfortunately to finish the story, you'll have to sit thru Part 2 and Part 3 too)
