Atlas III made number 20 on this "critics" worst movie of the year list:

20. Atlas Shrugged, Part III: Who Is John Galt?

The whimpering, ersatz finale to medical equipment millionaire John Aglialoro’s three-part adaptation of Atlas Shrugged could have been a serious contender for the number one spot on this list, if only it had been in theaters long enough for more than one of this poll’s participants to see it. Bringing Ayn Rand’s vision to the screen with all the licensed stock footage, community-theater acting, and state-park locations that a very small amount of money can buy, Aglialoro and director James Manera have created one of the definitive cut-rate movies—a film that achieves the improbable by resembling a mockbuster knock-off of itself. From its flubbed lines (“It’s like I can’t believe you alive!” could be this generation’s “Time for go to bed”) to its sub-Wiseau utility-closet sex scene, this is a film so shoddy that it almost qualifies as a must-see.

Wow.

In another thread you wrote, "It attests to the lack of a sense of humor that runs, hell it practically gallops, in Objectivist circles.

Now we can say that when it comes to unintentional humor, Objectivist filmmakers have amply demonstrated the Virtue of Productivity, sequel after sequel.

I'll cherish the description, "A copyright extension disguised as a movie."

Still not even listed for rent at Redbox.

Not to even make Redbox would speak volumes.

If it will be available there it should be listed a few weeks after the sale of it begins, which is Jan. 6.

When an Objectivist (Peikoff?) goes to Hell he'll have to watch the three films forever and ever.
