This review bases it's negativity on a misunderstanding of Objectivism.

"Atlas Shrugged is premised on the idea that the world only has a few true geniuses—great industrialists, inventors, musicians, and artists, too, albeit plainly none involved in the making of the Atlas Shrugged movies—and “going Galt” means they’re going to take their toys and go home. The arrogance of that is astounding, and it robs both parts of this adaptation of empathy, which is the primordial soup of good drama. Without it, Part II continues to leave Rand’s philosophy to function only in the abstract."
Objectivism never has, and never will be, about a world with only "a few true geniuses." (Although, aren't geniuses statistically rare anyway?)
