Gulchers who attended the premiere, what did you think of the movie?
Be honest. Don't just say you love it because it is Atlas Shrugged, tell us what you really thought,

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
The cast in part three really understood their characters well.
Polaha nailed Galt, especially in the speech.
The speech *will not* disappoint.
Tobolowski nailed Akston.
Temple was a better Wyatt than Beckel, and I liked Beckel.
Regan was the best Dagney of the three.
Very, very enjoyable movie.
A very affable guy.
I will probably be going to see ASp3 in Denver on the 12th.
Before the movie starts, I will try to get the theater chanting it as well.
Other Gulchers of like mind, feel free to do the same at your local theater.
To me, it showed "the people" waking up, not going to sleep.
Trying to avoid a spoiler here, but there's a reason why the man who starts the chant was cast.
I've been to quite a few of his events, I never once felt like part of "the mob".
After the Producer show, I walked out weeping - it was so beautifully done. I just walked up to Joan and put my arms around her and said "thank you, thank you for doing it. "
yes, of course I had quibbles and disagreements with what was done.
Within the confines - actually, forget the confines, it is a well-done piece of work that delivers its message very well.
A couple of more serious things that introduced some WTF?!? cognitive dissonance had to do with Galt's torture and rescue.
never goof up things that your average viewer will notice. "Replace the fuse" was so elementary that the emphasis on Galt's superiority and purpose was lost. It'supposed to be something only an EE would know, and he tells them. The Wizard will have his own comments on the machine, so I'll just say that it did look like the sort of "thrown together" stuff those people were capable of doing.
Secondly, what happened to the torturers at that point? People were running and the action was confusing.
SPOILER
Galt's death was gratuitous. It would have had as much impact if he had passed out.
I thought the homogeneous look of the houses in the valley was a mistake - I spent several minutes wondering why they all were built to the same pattern and missed the action.
There was no indication, except for the doctor, that anyone was continuing his "real" occupation while in the Valley. I got the sense that the were all gardening, not composing, inventing, writing - their real jobs.
More later; we're still on the road and my tablet's charged.
or yes.
I have the first two on disc so I'll just complete the collection.
Thank's for providing this thread. Now that I have read the comments, I am more anxious.
Regards,
O.A.
