I must warn everyone to avoid the comments under the review if you are about to eat. The level of disgust is nauseating. One commenter even claims to be a be a relative of one of the producers and completely disrespects Ayn Rand and her work without even reading or watching a thing. I know, I know this happens all the time. Just giving you a heads up. Unfortunately we can not hide from reality. Our society is sick.

Someone didn't appreciate your comment, RMP - nor this post, as both were downvoted. I don't participate an awful lot in the Gulch, so maybe I'm not used to the process like I am on Stack Overflow or other sites that do up/down votes, but that seems odd to me, considering its one of the few positive third party reviews I've seen.

Right, RMP. In the book, Project X is actually the adaptation of Robert Stadler's theoretical work. Project X is an array of destructive wave devices placed around the country to punish and prevent resistance. The Ferris Persuader is a much cruder device, which is why it fails during its use. That said, it is perfectly valid in the retelling of myth for characters to transmogrify. Two females became one in Peter L. Jackson's Lord of the Rings. Star Wars has been compared and contrasted with The Wizard of Oz and both of those with the Brementown Musicians. We enjoyed the movie, and look forward to the next version in 20 years or less.

Hope springs eternal, lol.

Pirate...you're not going to see Galt naked.... move on. lol

"... Rand's large tomb of work ..." should be large TOME of work. It is hard to take seriously a site that touts the before and after teeth of actresses. I am happy that they liked the work, but obviously, they are not at Ayn Rand's own intellectual level.

I note from the article: "Ironically, Republican Jeff Atwater (Florida's CFO) is hosting a screening of Part III in Boca Raton, Florida tomorrow. It is ironic because, one of his last votes in the Florida legislature, Atwater voted in favor of a heavily government subsidized railroad system, which ..." We have this conversation here continuously and continually. Political conservatives think that _Atlas Shrugged_ is about the Marxist/Muslim Liar-in-Chief and never see Cuffy Meigs as one of their own. Mr. Thompson pleads with John Galt, "I am a liberal, enlightened man..." but he cannot protect Galt from the muscle-mystics, i.e., from the right wing of his coalition.

And for all of that, this is not about politics. _Atlas Shrugged_ is a love story. It is a novel of philosophical detection. It is a modern American instantiation of the 19th century Russian novel. It is much more - and on many levels. No film could do it complete justice, or else Ayn Rand, as a child of Hollywood, would have made a movie in the first place.

That all being as it may, I enjoyed every minute of the show.

Nice review.

Everyone seems to have a problem with Project F. I choose to look at it this way. The competent and capable people have all disappeared, so what else would you expect of a torture device then something that appears cobbled together, rather than something really slick looking. Still, Galt naked on the table as in the book would have been a nice touch ;).
