You will like AS part 3, especially if you lived through the 'hoackyness' of the Cold War years. I just returned from the theater, a 65 mile round-trip, as I sit here typing this in my 'Who is John Galt' tee with a smile on my face. You will recognize quite a few cast members too. IMO, AS3 is the best of the trilogy and could stand on it's own as an adaptation of the whole book.

If they include Galt’s speech verbatim, you only get to pay kid’s price if they’re still 12 when the movie’s over.

Just saw it. As much as I like the book and Rand’s philosophy, parts one and two weren’t bad. This was overall a disappointment. While they did manage to get the point across, and the Galt speech was greatly truncated, the casting was bad, the acting was bad, and about twenty percent of it consisted of stock shots of Colorado scenery. Maybe twenty people in the theater, but it was Sunday night. One couple walked out just before Galt’s speech. I had hoped for so much more, but I believe they had little money to work with. Part two’s Dagny was much better. Still, I’m glad I went just because I saw the other two. The points made are excellent. It was hard to not be aware of parallels between the movie scenario and what is happening today.

My wife and I just returned FRom an afternoon screening of Atlas Shrugged III: Who is John Galt?

Let me, in the strongest of terms, commend this movie to you, whether you are an Atlas Shrugged fan or not. The actors are good; the dialogue is good; the scenery is good; and the storyline is good.

AS III will probably not win any Academy Awards, but it is well worth your time and attention. It is also well worth the price of admission and a large box of popcorn!

The movie is a perfect statement of our conservative principles! It neatly and concisely exposes the Socialist/Marxist/Fascist lie for all to see and understand! And, it presents a solution that you will appreciate.

Every American ought to go see the movie if they want to gain a better understanding of where the USA is heading socially, politically and economically under our Democan/Republicrat “leaders.”

UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING!

Please go see the movie — you will not regret it.

By the way, go see it even if you have not seen Atlas Shrugged I & II; the early scenes of the movie bring the viewer up to speed as to what has happened to this point neatly and concisely.

FReegards,

FRank

PS Please spread the word to your FRiends, neighbors, relatives, and co-workers!

It really should have been a mini-series for so many reasons - the biggest being to be seen - gotten the message out - to more than the choir

that’s the whole raison d’etra that Rand wrote it.

B ig opportunity missed.
