Atlas Shrugged: Part 2

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Poorly written, clumsily filmed and edited, and hampered by amateurish acting, Atlas Shrugged: Part II does no favors to the ideology it so fervently champions.

Seriously, if this is the best promotion of itself that the free market can manage, it really would benefit from the help of a Ministry of Culture or something. Go to Full Review

Director John Putch struggles to find balance or generate a single spark from the clunky mix of romance, political diatribe and thriller. Go to Full Review

There are ironic footnotes in cinema history because they champion the free market yet fail miserably in it. Go to Full Review

The Bad Boys II of ****ty propaganda films, morally and aesthetically corrupt yet compulsively watchable in the broad strokes. Somewhere, in heaven, Eisenstein is laughing. Hard. Go to Full Review

Luke M Mar 24, 2019 The rich should be able to use their wealth and power to trample the poor. Simple message, I think this is our current politicians text book, they have studied well. Bad message, poorly rendered. See more
Albus R Feb 21, 2019 Excellent movie, everyone NEEDS to watch this movie!!
Draco P Feb 20, 2019 Just finished watching again on DVD. Important and meaningful, sadly, even in the 21st Century.
Hagrid P Jan 6, 2019 if you are going to make a multipart movie you need to keep the same principle actors. Not to mention the total disregard for physics. See more
Anakin W Jan 4, 2019 Low budget but very well scripted, more truth than one expects in a movie. More about a point than entertainment.
Luke L Dec 5, 2018 Every once in a while it is useful to see a film like this three-part series. It remind one of the importance of competent acting, competent writing, competent filming and investment in sets that are not cheesy and reminiscent of high school stage productions. Silly, slow and badly done. See more
