    You're only gonna see a thrashing from the liberal media (redundant). This movie wasn't great BUT the message is clear and frightening. We are in the world that Ayn Rand described 50+ years ago. This is a MUST see before you vote.

    I loved this movie. But here's a caveat. I feel it will be difficult to enjoy if you have not read the book or at the very least seen ASI. The characters must already have been brought to life in your mind beforehand. Then it's amazing!

    Excellent continuation of the great novel. Rand's warning to all Americans should be seen. Ignore the critic reviews as they let their political positions interfer with logic. See Part 1 and then Part 2 to understand.

    Oh, heavens!? Think: Battlefield Earth meets Wall Street. Need I say more (except I thought the original Wall Street had socially redeeming value).
