We can make this the Twilight of conservative audiences.

That's "Twilight" the movie...not "twilight" referring to the early stages of oblivion. sheeesh : /

And you are right. Better to be in the game. Benchfishing is not the same as being hooked up on a big one.

as expected they all panned the movie without seeing it.

Same thing happened here with Avatar.

Yes, it was memorable!

If it is only Part 1, where does that part end and when is part 2?

Each part of the movie trilogy will be tied to the three parts of Atlas Shrugged.

Part 2 will be released on 4/15/12, part 3 on 4/15/13.

I went to see it in Southlake. Applause at the beginning, applause at the end. My rough guess on attendance was over 200.

Best part of the evening? No cell phones, no texting, no talking during the movie.

I took my wife and two sons (22 & 9). My son liked it so much, he's taking his girlfriend.

I'm going back for several more viewings. Part 2 should be a kick in the a$$. I can't wait to see Ragnar the Pirate (Danneskjold) appear.

My only (minor) gripe with the movie was the brevity of Francisco D'anconia's actions on San Sebastian mines.

I absolutely loved the movie. The final scene, with Dagny's reaction to the inferno of Wyatt's Torch was Oscar worthy.

The last movie I we went to was Forest Gump. We just returned from the movie. I thought, it was about 80% true to the book, which I’ve read 4-5 times. I can’t wait for part 2 and 3.

Everyone applaused at the theater we went to.

There was applause during the movie and afterward at the showing here on Friday... I liked it fine, though I really missed a couple of scenes from the book: Review: Atlas Shrugged Part I
