Let's ignore the fact that this is actually another poster for Atlas Shrugged II, and not actually the original Atlas Shrugged. I think it's pretty hard for the Atlas statue to look bad, and this globe-lifting Oscar looks incredible here, I'm liking the way the way the sun glints off the gold, with the darker coloring of the clouds making Atlas stand out like some sort of epic hero. I enjoy the way the globe envelopes around the poster, it gives it weight and presence. This is a pretty well designed poster for what it goes for, but ultimately there's just better posters and covers out there!
Wow, this is the first review that I really disagree with! I think you're being way too generous to this cover. It feels like such a slapdash image with terrible composition and no artistic effort.
Also what do you think of the American box art for Illusion of Gaia? ---
