Reaction: After the somewhat mediocre domestic box office numbers, the movie was saved thanks to strong foreign box office and home video sales. It proves that maybe there is a market for Ayn Rand adaptations - as long as you get the right movie star attached...
"Frankly, it's a skyscraper glossy soap opera, but it's hard to not get sucked into the melodrama." - Sandy Glavine, The Atlanta Constitution-Journal
"Ayn Rand's symbolism is leaden as ever, and not even Zack Snyder's visual stylings can distract from it." - Evan Cobb, Tampa Times
"Zack Snyder gives the film a visual spectacle not usually seen in the genre and he has assembled a top-notch cast that manages to take their characters beyond the page." - Ben Fullmer, Knoxville News Sentinel
