This is the second part of the three part film based on Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrug. If you have not seen the first part you will be completely lost. Most of the cast was replaced, which caused a brief moment of finding out who was who, but after that the film ran well. Changing the cast didn't interrupt the story at all. I'll admit I have never been interested in reading the book, which by the way is a whopping thousand plus paged book, which is split in three parts, like the film.
Like Frankenstein, which has become more relevant with the changes in science. Atlas Shrug, has found its relevant place in history. What is a bit creepy about this film, is how you could see our near future possibility of this becoming true to some extent. Whomever thought this was the time to release this film, was a smart person. Its scary to think that America could be heading this way. I suggest anyone who cares about the future of America to check this film out. I realize its not one of those crowd grabbing films but it really is a must see for audiences old enough to get Rand's message. The film is a well done adaptation that moves smoothly and keeps you interested.
