I was VERY surprised at how much I liked the first movie and how much of it has ‘stuck’ in my brain. A lot of, ‘What would *I* do in this situation?’ thoughts. A good brain exercise! I was seriously expecting some Chick Flick, ala the ‘Vampire’ movies that were all the rage for a while there. *Rolleyes*

Sounds like I’ll like the second installment even better! I also see it as a modern take on Atlas Shrugged.

Kinda surprised Hollyweird green-lighted this one, LOL!

I bought the books for my granddaughter. I read them before hand to check them out, very well done.

50 year SciFI fan.

The first movie grossed close to $700 million world wide. The sequal was a no-brainer.

They’re counting on the viewers not making the connection, or blaming it somehow on the capitalist system.

I liked the first movie and the books also.

We are going to see this one tomorrow.

My grand kids got me hooked on the books but I never expected to enjoy the movie as much as I did.
