★★☆☆☆
It's almost like a graphic novel of the original.
These three films illustrate just how difficult it is to make a movie of a story as complex as Atlas Shrugged. Unfortunately, the quality of each of the three parts is on a declining scale with AS3 being the least inspiring of them. Swapping out the cast for each segment didn't help. I admire the fact that at least an effort was made to tell a story that is so politically incorrect I only wish Ayn Rand could have been here to write the screen play. I view the Atlas Shrugged trilogy as a kind of video "Cliff Notes" of the book. You get the general idea but you must read the original in its entirety to understand what Rand was saying. I liked the book much better but that is frequently the case.
