The book behind Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's classic tale of a time when the capitalist leaders of business and industry go on strike. With builders, creators and industrious workers gone, the world is run by committees and ruled by compromise. Things begin to crumble.
Atlas Shrugged II is missing both the beginning and the end of Rand's epic novel. Apparently part 1 was produced, but I've been unable to find it. Thus part 2 seems to begin in the middle. A ten minute prologue could have remedied this with a little character development and some insights as to how the world came to be ruled by the "Fairness Doctrine." The end is also unsatisfying and begs for a better conclusion. As for the cream in the middle - not bad enough to pan, but not good enough to rave about. My suggestion is to first read the book, and if you can find it, watch 'part 1' before spending time on 'part 2' Let's hope 'part 3' brings a little more meat to the table.
Pros great story
Cons lacks insightful beginning
Yes, I recommend this movie.
