Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
TxMike Ayn Rand famously wrote her book "Atlas Shrugged" in the 1950s, it is a cautionary tale. What would become of the world if politicians and governments continued to interfere more and more with technology and commerce? What would happen if innovative people had to contribute more and more to the "have-nots" without have a say in the matter? At the end of part II, two years ago, we see Dagny Taggart's plane enter some sort of phantom zone and crash. But she survives and sees John Galt. This third installment is set in the present time, we see them drinking wine from the 2012 vintage.This third installment takes up there, after a very brief review of what led up to it. John Galt carries Dagny to safety and explains that he and the other innovators who "went on strike" have settled in that mountainous valley. Their location is secret and, while it is never explained, we see in the sky that they have invented some sort of cloaking technology so that they can see planes passing overhead, some searching for them, but the hunters can't see them.Dagny is asked to stay with them for 30 days to see if she wants to pledge to their cause and stay with them. But at the end she decides to return to take care of some railroad issues. Leading politicians want to control the rails and the particular issue is whether they will allow trains to go to Minnesota to transport fresh crops to the East Coast. The politicians are willing to sacrifice a few thousand people for what they think is the greater good.OK, this isn't a great series of films but all of them, including this last installment, are interesting. Each of the three movies has the same primary characters, but each movie has a different set of actors. The actors chosen here work out just fine and the actress playing Dagny looks enough like the others who played Dagny that it isn't an issue. We finally meet John Galt face-to-face, played by tall (6-3) actor Kristoffer Polaha. Pretty blond Laura Regan is Dagny Taggart. We don't meet a President but we meet Peter Mackenzie as "Head of State" Thompson. And old reliable Greg Germann, who I enjoyed many years ago in "Ally McBeal", is the hapless James Taggart. I am glad I took the time to watch it, for the interest in how the famous Ayn Rand portrayed the possible dysfunctional future.
Mr-Fusion It's the curiosity more than anything. I've already seen the first two "Atlas Shrugged" movies; can't really leave the trilogy unfinished, right? This is what drove me to finish an unsatisfactory series of movies. And the final entry finishes things off in the worst possible fashion.I'm not even concerned with Ayn Rand's philosophy, only with Part III's complete mishandling of it. This is a cartoon with robotic performances, non-existent production values and haphazard direction. The dialogue's stilted, none of these TV actors have any breathing room, and the story rolls out in a hurried low-standards manner. It's so cheap and so cut-rate that any message (even one delivered with a smug sledgehammer) is smothered in the execution. At a certain point, it just becomes unintentionally funny. Just not funny enough to be entertaining.Is this at all like the book? I have no idea, but once was more than enough with this movie. What a sad end.
LeonLouisRicci The Free Market has Spoken. All Three Atlas Shrugged Films Failed and Failed Miserably. This One Failed Miserably the Most. The Comic Book Characters and Sophomoric Philosophies are on display here and the Question becomes Not...Who is John Galt?…but...Who cares any more about Ayn Rand or Her highly Misinterpretive Jesus Christ Saviour Analogy? Ayn Rand is an Anachronistic Curiosity at best. The only Reason Folks Seek out Her ridiculously Mislabeled "Collectivism" is for some Group Think to reinforce the Idea that it is OK to be Selfish and Lessen the Guilt.But Enough about the Dated Didactics of Ayn Rand and on with the Show. At least Liberals know how to make Movies. If this is an Example of Conservative Creativity, Hollywood is Safe from a takeover by Right Wingers, because, once again, The Free Market has Spoken.The Third installment in the triptych is God-Awful Film-Making with Atrocious Acting, and Cringe-Inducing Everything else. From the Writing to the Sets to the Montage, From beginning to end...This Thing is Bad, Bad, Bad.Ron Paul shows up (he has a Son named Rand, get it), because He is a bonafide Libertarian, but inserting Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck is a Reveal that says It all. Talk about Preaching to the Choir.
karoly49 The worst of the three in the series. No flow to the story, weak script, uninspired direction. Listen to the audio book, and use your imagination to create what should be a spectacular epic, but watch some John Ford movies first.I can't make enough lines in this review so I am going to quote Pete Townshend, OK?I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name. He said you can go home and sleep tonight if you can get up and walk away. I stumbled back from the Underground and the breeze blew back my hair. I remember throwing punches around, and preaching from my chair. Who are you?
