I liked Ayn Rand's novel but this movie was a waste of money. This was a low budget film which did not stay true to Rand's novel. It dragged on and left out much of the information that was in the book. It should have been presented in two parts that were released no more than a year apart and it should have ended with Part II. Additionally, they should have told us that Part II was not the end of the movie. Based on what I saw, I doubt if they will ever be able to raise enough money from Part II, to afford to make Part III.
