This really was a solid movie. I think there was quite a large campaign to tell everyone that this was a crappy movie, with a crappy story, crappy acting and crappy production values.

Many more people should have gone to see it, but the word was out that it was a bomb.

I will definitely buy the DVD, and I hope that they will decide to make Part 2.

Ah, the reasoning used in 2006 to get freepers to donate to Joe LIEberman.

Saw the movie twice, once on opening day and then another time. Read the book since then. Can’t wait to buy the DVD.

September 2nd might have been a more appropriate release date.

Today is the anniversary date that the story begins.

Thanks for the info. I’ve added a note to my calendar to remind me to buy it then.

Arrived today, watched it already.

I think most of the bad reviews that aren’t ideology driven are related to the fact that those loved the novel had a vision of the characters that was as strong as their attachment to the book. As a result, anything that doesn’t match that vision grates.

I, apparently, had a vision that matched that of the producers. I think Taylor’s a wonderful Dagny and I think Grant’s fine too. I didn’t see any obvious cheapness in the production, and I thought the effects were adequate. In short, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Trying to find the balance between Ayn’s constant preaching and the temptation to just do a simplistic soap-opera-type narrative is a very difficult task, and I think they walked that line very well.

All in all, worth the wait, and I look forward to part 2.

BUMP TO THE TOP!!!

I’ll be buying a copy today! If nothing else for support of the entire idea of the book.
