Legion Movie Reviews

fter Zombieland, here's another cheesy film that makes you say cheeeeeese, despite it's stagey, campy and almost silly feel. Even B-grade can be bindaas, sometimes. Watch out for rebel angel Michael (Paul Bettany) as he crosses over and battles both God and his archangel Gabriel in their attempt to end the world that's gotten a bit too bad for their liking. This time, a terribly pissed off God decides to send a bunch of marauding zombies

In an opening voiceover in Legion, we're informed that God - "tired of all the bullshit" - has decided to end all of mankind. Having used up the flood option previously, it seems He's chosen this time to destroy the earth with predictable B-movie cliches like a storm of flies, an army of zombies, and my personal favorite: a crazy old grandma. Having watched films with similar apocalyptic themes, like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012

In Legion the world ends not with a bang but with a short stack. Recycling motifs from The Birds, Near Dark, the Terminator films and other apocalyptic fantasies, the film convenes a collection of strangers — upper-middle-class white family with issues, black father with handgun, etc. — at a diner in the Mojave Desert, where they are caught in the crossfire of a celestial battle. Their task is to mow down waves of angelically possessed humans
