This adaptation of Ayn Rand's 1957 objectivist novel Atlas Shrugged tells the first installment in the story of a dystopian future in which a collectivist society has forced the great thinkers of the world to go on strike, leaving the functioning world without scientists, engineers, philosophers, or artists. Set against this stark backdrop, a railroad heiress named Dagny Taggart tries to bring her failing company back from the brink with the development of a new alloy to repair breaks in the lines, and hopefully calm the business' vital corporate partnership with an oil company. But with the endless bureaucracy of an evil and corrupt government fighting her at every turn, and her own inept brother battling her for control, Dagny soon finds that in order to set things right in her world, things must be set right in the world at large. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I enjoyed this move from start to end. It has a great plot that should hold up well throughout the whole trilogy. The book was well adapted for the movie and since it partly revolves around one of my favorite things, trains, I am drawn to it. BREAKING NEWS! Atlas Shrugged Part 2 is slated to be released in October 2012 in theaters. I'm on pins and needles waiting.
