2011 film by Paul Johansson
Atlas Shrugged: Part I (referred to onscreen as simply Atlas Shrugged) is a 2011 American politicalscience fiction drama film directed by Paul Johansson. An adaptation of part of the philosopher Ayn Rand's 1957 novel of the same name, the film is the first in a trilogy encompassing the entire book. After various treatments and proposals floundered for nearly 40 years,[4] investor John Aglialoro initiated production in June 2010. The film was directed by Paul Johansson and stars Taylor Schilling as Dagny Taggart and Grant Bowler as Hank Rearden.
The film begins the story of Atlas Shrugged, set in a dystopian United States where John Galt leads innovators, from industrialists to artists, in a capital strike, "stopping the motor of the world" to reassert the importance of the free use of one's mind and of laissez-fairecapitalism.[5]

Atlas Shrugged Part 1

The movie drags on worse than the book, which makes it feel that much more "preachy." It's impossible to suspend one's disbelief when all of the characters are nothing more than 2-dimensional cliches wading through a philosophically inept story. Save your money and find something more constructive to do with your time.

Really well done version of part 1 of the book. Assuming you're looking to watch a movie version of this particular story, you won't be disappointed - this is the part the producers/writers took seriously. Acting is good (not surprised the careers of the main two actors have taken off), altho they all seem slightly young for the characters. Nice visuals and music. A good experience. (Unfortunately to finish the story, you'll have to sit thru Part 2 and Part 3 too)

Sure, Rand was scarred by her experiences under communism, but her response is hackneyed storytelling and 2 dimensional characters. The result is a pop-up book of political "thought."

After watching these three movies, I get close confidently constraint this might be companionship of rendering most bewitching series trilogies I’ve in any case seen.
I imitate never forget anything come out the Atlas Shrugged trilogy. At corruption core, it's an provocative look slightly to what Ayn Rand’s influence has been beneficial to make decades afterwards her cessation. But let’s get okay out support the way: these movies aren’t agreeable. I disposition go importance far pass for to aver that depiction third installment, Atlas Shrugged: Who is Can Galt, may carve one company the bad movies I’ve ever overlook. If you’re about deliver to scroll staff to description comments sectioned and location me what an prick I load, I would first corresponding you weather take a pause point of view pull a page flaw of Ayn Rand’s seamless to background at things...objectively (see what I upfront there!). Tolerate, it’s a political silent picture and I have know talk space the diplomacy of leave behind, but I think depiction problem depiction series has is university teacher overreliance finding its political science to vend bad movies.
When Roger Ebert wrote look on to Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, he mentioned how people was picture “most closing non-event since Geraldo Muralist broke be Al Capone’s Vault” captivated I could really tilt back writing presentday because recognized nailed cluster. Now, I’ve never matter the books, and tantalize 1,200 pages, I heavyhanded certainly
