Atlas Shrugged III: Who Is John Galt? Official Trailer #1 (2014) - Ayn Rand Sequel Movie HD 

Everyone defending this movie: "Just because it's poorly made, has bad acting, and a bad screenplay doesn't mean it's a bad movie. I don't understand all the hate!"

This movie looks to me like some exquisite, high quality doodoo.

If a movie is released and no one goes to see it, did it ever happen? For the third time, they're trying to make this movie happen and I doubt it's gonna happen this time

"This is the end." "No, it is only the beginning" really well-crafted writing lol

After watching this trailer, I'm asking "WHY is John Galt.".

In the immortal words of Ayn Rand " An A is an A". This movie is not an A..

How is this movie not an Oscar contender? Oh that's right, because it sucks balls. My bad.

I'm still waiting for Kirk Cameron to show up...

This movie is Pro Capitalism- Pro Profits. Ayn has no use for any government that would Take from entrepreneurs that built their companies & give any part of it, including profits to anyone else for any reason. taxes included. Luved the book & luved the the last 2 movies, cant wait to see this one :D

Cause it worked so well the past two times....why make another sequel to something that bombed hard? Isn't this against the author's own philosophy?

Oh god the problems with this trailer alone! I can't imagine how bad the movie is!

It is with no small amount of irony that a film series adapted from a book that fetishizes unregulated free markets... did terribly in the free market.

This looks like a parody, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't, was it?

Powerful movie! This is a huge reflection of what is happening today in the U.S. A must watch!!!!

"Who is John Galt?'...Who cares!"

3rd different cast lol.

It's good to see people rejecting the corporate neo-fascist philosophy espoused by these "movies".

Even assuming the premise of the movie is true. It sticks the finger at 99% of people watching it. No wonder this film bombed at the box office. It sells a message no one wants to hear and defies the very principles it espouses.

I have no affiliation with this movie.

I'm very surprised this has actually been filmed and is coming out soon after the major flops of the first 2 films

Ron Paul's appearance was great!

Just came back from the theater. As folks who loved the book, we went into to seeing this series of movies fully aware the limitations involved into condensing this massive intricate saga into three 90 minute movies. This is obviously a story best told in a mini-series. We found each of the three movies to be an admirable effort, with this one (III) being the best. The acting was top notch and the story was true to the book. As a result, the message delivered was as powerful as we hoped. LibertyPen recommends this movie.

Looks like Gigli has some competition.

If the filmmakers believe in free market capitalism, why the hell did they make two more films after the first bomb. Maybe Rand was wrong eh?

The second movie was so bad - they tried to shove too much of the book into it. I don't have much hope for this third part.

50 Shades of Ayn Rand.

The Fact this was Released in Theaters and it Looks like a TV Movie is just Embarrassing.

Would you kindly not watch this movie?

I'm going to watch this film because I'm a fan of Ayn Rand. Yes, it's terrible as far as production value and acting are concerned. But, Rand's philosophy is so poignant that it compels me to watch the film. I noticed that a lot of RU-vidrs think Rand's philosophy is garbage. Something tells me that these people didn't read her work, or did read her work but believe, with absolute conviction, that humans SHOULD NOT LIVE TO THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL. If you critically read her works, you will see that man working towards his higher self -- as an individual -- is paramount to her philosophy. If individual achievement is a value you do not hold in high regard then ,quite frankly, Rand's philosophy is not for you. Plus, you shouldn't have clicked on this video any way.

I'm thinking of naming my first son as John Galt.

Not one of these "movies" has made any money. Maybe they think they're doing a public service by making these? They sure have a lot of Canadian actors in these things.

Wow, Those Maytag Commercials Were Better Quality

Who is this movie for?

A rottentomatoes rating of 0%. Only movie I have ever seen with that low of a rating.

Why do they always change the cast? It gets confusing.

Atlas Shrugged. So did the general public.

The last of these movies was the least awesome due the lack of budget, it seems. None of these movies made well because the public simply ain't yet savvy about the value of the free enterprise system, about entrepreneurship, and so forth. Even though, as for its story that represents my values, it's one of my favourite movies along with Tucker: The Man And His Dream, Jobs, Revenge Of The Electric Car, October Sky, etc.

Couldn't they afford a better better for John Galt? "Gordon street? Ah, Gordon street. I knew a girl who lived on Gordon street, many years ago...'

they really should have stopped at the first one. It sucked bad enough

This says it all: "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: "The Lord of the Rings" and "Atlas Shrugged." One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

Woo! Another shitty entry into this poorly executed series.

imagine being so rich that running away into the woods looks like Mar-o-Largo lol

So this is a Lifetime movie?

I loved the first 2 movies, I actually seen them out of order, the 2nd movie first and then went looking for the 1st and third. I do not understand why these movies had such bad reviews. So far Atlas Shrugged II was my favorite, I have yet to watch the 3rd, just bought it tonight at WalMart. I didn't agree with switching of the actors either but I know the budget was puny & actors wages are always way way more for a sequel, probably just couldn't afford them. There is way worse generic shit out there that is put out by hollywood though. But nothing but horrid reviews that just don't fit this movie. Probably because its just too much of a warning for whats about to become our actual reality? Kinda like Farenheit 451's similarities/predictions/warnings of what our future was to hold. Just my opinion...

another another cast?????

I imagined Atlas shrugged as a netflix series

WOW! I can't wait to get this movie in my hands, so i can throw it into the fireplace. Shouldn't be too long now since this one's going strait to DVD (not even Blue-Ray).

The comments on this page are what makes this idea so beautiful. The world needs the most intuitive, self-interested, and driven producers: but they do not want them. This is due to an irrational fear of insecurity, and the mentality that they deserve just as much as the next man simply because he breathes the same air. Without men like Hank Rearden, we would still be living in the stone age. Don't bother leaving your snide comments. I don't entertain trolls. But you should consider why you came to this video in the first place.

Jon Hamm, with a full beard, would have been great cast as Hank Reardon.

Given it such a big book, I'm not surprised there are going to be so many films. I am surprised however that someone put the money up for production...

I loved all three movies. They tell the story of what is happening to our country and who is doing it. People are beginning to open their eyes to how they have been manipulated by the government and that there is a need to stop it before we are all living in an enormous third world slum under a 99 percent taxation rated..

Atlas Shrugged should've never been made, what kind of movie couldn't even get the same cast members on all three movies.

After having read the novel, I think these three films are nothing but mere third-grade creation of an idea Ayn Rand tried to bring forth. My God!! I was expecting John Galt to be at least have a shred of what Ayn Rand portrayed. He looks nothing like the Galt I sketched in my mind when I read the work. & Midas Mulligan, who did they hired for such a strong character?????? That's preposterous. If Ayn Rand had been alive, she would have denounced every effort to tame her genius of a work!!!!

Where is Hank Rearden in this part 3?

Wonder why they don't stick with the same actors/actresses. The second one was the best, imo.

I have to say that all Ayn Rand novels and Atlas Shrugged especially are guilty pleasures for me. IMO, it's hilarious how much time she spends in the books explaining what she doesn't like (Communism, Socialism, Social Democracy or any type of regulation) and none at all to explain what she likes -savage Capitalism. Even John Galt's last speech is a lot like that. I saw the first film, but at that time it was thought that the second film wouldn't get made because it was a flop, and the guy financing it had had some kind of financial trouble or other. I want to see the second and third parts. I want to see how the film handles John Galt's capture and torture. SPOILERS AHEAD Rand's ending in her book was that the government finally captures John Galt and interrogates him. The economy is in such a bad state that they TORTURE Galt so that he would TELL the government what to do to get out of their predicament. They want him to become President in the shadows, I guess. When I read that I couldn't believe it and I laughed out loud. The question I'm dying to make is: WHAT THE HELL HAD Ayn Rand SMOKED THAT DAY?

Yes it wasn't the biggest cinematic masterpiece ever, and yes there were cast changes because the producers, probably very new to the industry or not knowing if Parts 2 & 3 would get made, didn't think ahead to sign people for 3 movie deals. That being said, these are only fig leafs. All the people below trashing these movies are being disingenuous. If you had a trilogy of those same properties above extolling the "virtues" of socialism, it would get undying praise from the critics. I'm willing to bet that most of the naysayers below have never even picked up the book or watched one minute of any of the movies or even tried to learn about Ayn Rand's philosophy. It's about the message of the movie itself which is very positive, but it talks about the virtues of not only capitalism, but a free mind and conscience, vs. government dictates, control, and collectivist philosophy. We're seeing Rand's predictions play out right before our eyes in places like Venezuela, and if we're not careful (i.e. we let Democrats get into the White House), the United States too. So I challenge anyone panning this movie to name one specific argument in the film that they had a problem with. They won't, because they haven't seen it. They're the same brainwashed populous who has been conditioned to accept that capitalism is bad, that the 1% "oppress" the 99%. FYI, the biggest villains in these movies ARE very rich and powerful people.

You'd think that a film series about the greatness of the free market and human excellence would've stopped when the first film became a commercial and critical flop.

"It's the end" "No it's the beginning" cliche

Every part completely different casts. First and 2nd parts not bad but when third started i did not want to know who is john galt anymore. Man i did not believe someone can ruin movie like they did on part 3

I am looking forward to buying this movie also. I think the first two were outstanding.

The steamy romance, while front and center here, was quite secondary in the book

I can't help but feel that most mainstream critics just banded together to make sure that no one will see these movies, aiming at their obvious shortcomings resulting from them attempting to adapt a big novel into three independently financed movies (fairly low production values, inexperienced actors and a slow pace and dialogue (monologue)-heavy screenplays) while ignoring the story and the ideas they tried to tell. And many people, accustomed to high quality Hollywood-Stuff, simply jumped on the bandwagon.

I will watch it for fun then decide if it is bad or not. That is how you judge something, by experience. I am sure all these people w negative comments, are all working on something better than this right. Yup I'm sure of it.

Haven't seen this yet. I liked part 1 and 2

Wow, the dialogue is just simply… um...

who the hell did the bloody casting, ok, maybe that's the least of this movie's troubles.

Galt's Gulch, a hidden community, wouldn't be possible in the 21st century.

My favorite review of this series… Rich billionaires throw a “kid in a candy store” fit over sharing their crayons and take their ball and go home.

First was good, second was bad. Hopefully this movie turns out alright.

Was this movie an afterthought? I saw the first one, havent got around to the second yet. When the first came out it was always known that there was going to be a second part, but no buddy said anything about a part 3. This seems like one of those times where the first couple movies were 'official' i guess you could say, but then someone thought they could make some money making another so they licensed the franchise and put something out straight to dvd. That would make sense of why the actors are not the same.

this movie was good. there are many people here that should not watch it though. they won't get it. you either get it or you dont.

So John Galt is a chubby manchild? That sure sounds like most Ayn Rand heroes -.-

why do they keep changing the actors? I liked the one who played rearden in the first movie

You'd think a movie based on a book whose happy ending is the collapse of civilization for all but the fortunate, wealthy few would be a little better produced. What the hell was the budget on this thing, anyway? All they had to do is film a bunch of no-names portraying the super-rich, living in vast comfort, well away from the problems of the unwashed 99% like mass-starvation, anarchy - basically the apocalypse - brought on by the stupid poor's "ungratefulness" to the gorgeous, perfect rich 1%. It's unfortunate that only 1% of the unclean, un-wealthy movie-going public paid any attention to this series at all. Maybe all the 1 percenters who are such fans of that novel put their money together and make a series that somewhat resembles an ACTUAL MOVIE.

I really enjoyed the 1st movie; although, having read the book a gazillion times, I filled in a LOT of back story. The 2nd part was WTF?!?!??? The actors were totally different & no attempt was made to even come close to those in part 1. Went back to the book... forget the movies. :-/

Awful. Just... awful... Insipid. I vaguely recall hearing something about an Atlas Shrugged movie, but _three_? *facepalm*...

Why wasn't this developed by a major director/studio? You'd think such an important work of literature history would be given the utmost attention; instead of this second rate indie thing.

I challenge ANYONE insulting this movie to name some actual thing about it that they dislike. All of the insults on this board are so vague that I doubt they even watched it. They just heard from their college professors that Ayn Rand and capitalism are evil and so they troll videos like this with no clue what they're talking about. Okay, it's not a high-quality movie in terms of acting, and it's a difficult book to convert into a movie. Sometimes the dialogue can be flat and one-dimensional. That's not why the fans like it. It also didn't have the huge budget because communist Hollywood studios won't touch it. Given all the uncertainty, it was hard to sign actors for all three movies and thus cast changes were made. Under the circumstances, I think it's about well made as it can get. That's not what has the critics up in arms, though. I'll bet 90% of those on this very board panning it have never bothered to watch it. They just attack it reflexively because of its message, about rejecting blind altruism and showing the virtues of capitalism and the dangers of government overreach. You who choose the worth of a movie based on its all-star casts and special effects can never understand that.

I have never heard of any of this and it has already a 3rd movie? Oh and this looks super awful

If only this trilogy could have been done well. Sigh

The movie looks so bad. Also the trailer spoiled everything, there is no need to watch it now.

Taylor Schilling and Samantha Mathis are both known actresses. I TRULY believe they only did one Episode of each film because they knew how AWFUL it was.

wow this film must be amazing looking at both the like bars its almost 50/50

I read who is John Galt on someone's license plate cover

Wish they kept consistent actors. Makes me not care at all

I had no idea #2 was already out i saw the first one....

Looks like something you'd see on Lifetime 🍿.

Great movies BUT they changed the main character actors AGAIN??? wtf?! I haven't even had a chance to see part 3 yet.

Why, just why do they put everything in the trailers?

II part was the best of all. Why didn't they took the same cast? Absolutely rubbish trailer.

The filmmakers cannot even get a cameo right. What's the point of having a Ron Paul cameo if Ron Paul is just going to appear as himself, in his office, and he can't even be bothered to take down his Ron Paul "rEVOLution" poster behind him? Talk about jarring. Totally takes you out of the film.

The setting is not right at all. The actual story in atlas shrugged is probably set in the 50s-60s ( from the technology in the book and and the time ayn Rand published it) I didn't really think a movie adaptation of this book would work, mostly due to the large amounts of dialogue in the book. [ Think of d'aconia's speech at the party or John Galt's speech at the end] Atlas shrugged is, in my opinion , not a book that falls under the category of fiction , and hence can't be adapted into a movie. The movie does reflect this well.

I didn’t even realize part 3 came out yet. Hmmmm :/

what do you know about Ayn Rand and her book Atlas Shrugged? judge from this trailer, it seems ok

Madonna is the only actress who could have played the part of Dagny Taggert properly.

Every trailer for this series acts like it's something epic or groundbreaking, and yet the movies appear to just be rich white people talking about how being rich white people is a good thing.

Once again changed all actors? First movie was for one-time watch, second was a disaster, third... well, I'll be very surprised, if it comes to be something good. Such a shame, book was so illuminating and awesome, probably, some stories just not made for big screen.

I wasn't aware of the 2nd one.

this is the part of the book where things started to make sense.... but really didnt.
