Summary: An out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race. When God loses faith in humankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner with the Archangel Michael.
This is one of those movies where I was hoping to be at least some what interesting with the premise, but yeah this film ended up being what I though it would be: a complete and total mess.
The promise of r-rated gory bonanza in the red band trailer, now all too clearly emerges as Scott Stewart's cunning trick to lure us, the audience, into his van, where he rapes us for 100 minutes straight, while pantingly reciting the plots from Assault on Precinct 13 and The Terminator.
I expected a bad one but this.. Hypocritical, stupid, boring, stupid, no sense of script, stupid oh and very very stupid.. No sense whatsoever.. Did I mention it's a really stupid movie?
It's.... a film. We start with Paul Bettany, as a Angel, falling to Earth, cutting his wings off and getting weaponed up to fight the end of the world. Given that, you can tell things go way south by looking at the score. Cliche, predictable and dull characters all collide it what saddly turns into a big pile of so what. A shame
I watched this film hoping I could get behind the religious imagery or something, but this movie actually sucked. It was more akin to a zombie film than any sort of movie with depth. And Dennis Quaid was entirely under-utilized.
Stewart's vision ultimately does little to diminish the reputation of the real God, or His heaven and angels. Rather, it diminishes itself by way of fevered theological claptrap devoid of even an ounce of thought. Legion is nothing more than the reckless musings of someone who knows about as much about the Bible as I know about macroeconomics. (pluggedin.com)
Blows its premise on a crappy zombie movie. Features tepid dialogue, a distinct lack of tension, boring cinematography and a villain that never gets his comeuppance. A waste of my time.
This was a solid Action film mixed in with a bit of Horror and while there were some great scenes I found myself drifting a little throughout it. Great idea and concept, and I always love 'apocalypse' films so that was great, but maybe one too many slower scenes that didnt tie in with the rest of the film. Special effects were just great and some of the posessed people were truly freaky (especially Gladys). Overall I really enjoyed it and would definitley reccomend checking it out :)
Like the Old Testament, alot of this makes no sense, but God's committed 2 scaring the crap out of us. Unfortunately 4 him, he's not a good strategist as he announces his arrival w/ a demonic grandma who tips her hat early & a skyful of insects that disappear. Worse, he gives the protagonists a couple of hours 2 regroup! Maybe he was trying2 figure out who's responsible 4 the Child Savior? In any case, he is amenable 2 changing his mind about the Apocalypse, so let's get some good lawyers ready!
Just terrible. A premise as ridiculous as God versus the angel Michael armed with machine guns is squandered by (a) disarming the potentially blasphemous premise by never actually having God involved and (b) by trying to make the film serious thus sapping any fun out of it. Its only worth seeing for the demonic old woman but that by itself does not defend such a pointless film.
Interesting concept but you can't base a movie solely on a concept without at least adding a fleshed out story and adding character development. The goofiest thing is that *spoiler alert* just about everyone dies to protect a baby that they never explain the importance of. WTF? The movie COULD have been awesome if only they had a some substance to back up an interesting idea.
Remember all those awesome bits from the trailer? The stunning effects and interesting creatures? Well, if you've seen the trailer you've seen them all. All you're missing is hammy dialogue and heavy-handed analogies.
