Bewertungen und Rezensionen

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.

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)

Sure, Rand was scarred by her experiences under communism, but her response is hackneyed storytelling and 2 dimensional characters. The result is a pop-up book of political "thought."
