Quick Review of Atlas Shrugged: Part 1. While Rearden metal may be hardest metal on earth, this movie was soft on delivery. The film felt constrained by it’s own setup. Gas Prices are at $37/Gal. and Rail is now an affordable transport. Also setting it in 2016 meant that some truly beautiful Art Deco set pieces were absent. What could have been a Chinatown was railroaded into a Made for TV drama.
