 Netflix lists Atlas Shrugged under "SciFi and Fantasy."

Too many people on here do not think critically.

Would watching the movie do it justice so I don't have to read the book?

Critics gave it phenomenally horrible reviews.

No I just don't think anybody cares about this extremely minor flaw in netflix's categorization.

Anthem isnt even on the same level as Atlas Shrugged or the Fountainhead.

I think that's funny. But what about sci if? Bunch of people try to build the ideal world apart from society... Fits nicely.

butt hurt? No. I share a different sociopolitical worldview, but I am in no way bitter or angry that other people do. I'm always open to good spirited discussion of issues and differences in thinking.
