Legion Movie Review

Legion_poster

We were supposed to only watch one movie.  We ended up watching two, Paano na Kaya & Legion.  Just one look at the poster & I knew that it would be a good movie considering Paul Bettany was playing the lead character.

I was very happy when I saw Dennis Quaid in the movie.  Unfortunately, even though I admire the cast, I was not impressed with the story.  The Powerhouse cast included Dennis Quaid, Paul Bettany, Tyrese Gibson, and Kate Walsh were just not enough to make a movie a great one because the story is just too weak.

The story is about God who wanted to make humans extinct.  Fallen Angel Michael (Paul Bettany’s character) didn’t agree with God’s decision.  So Michael helped a group of strangers in a diner, including a pregnant woman who is believed to bear a child that is the only hope or savior of the human race!

Actually, that’s the story, which is followed by people in the diner fighting for their life.  Possessed men attacking the diner, biting people, etc.  haaayy… felt like an apocalypse movie with a zombie twist in it.

I left the movie thinking what the story was all about and what lessons it was trying to leave with us.

My Rating for Legion: 2 out of 5 stars.
