Legion

God had lost his faith in humans, so He sent the angels to exterminate the humans. Quiet interesting topic to be a movie. And that's what Scott Stewart served in the movie he directed, Legion. With an ensemble cast, such as Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid, this should be good. And yes, we haven't see a apocalyptic movie with angels being the weapon of mass destruction for some times.

Let us just go straight to the story, Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) once served as the grand general of God's Legion of Angel. But he ran away, cut off his wings when he ordered by God to finish off the human race. He got sympathy for the human. To cut it short, he drove (yes, he lost his wings so he don't fly) to a roadside dinner way deep in the middle of the desert. Bob Hanson (Dennis Quaid) owned it, together with him is his son Jeep (Lucas Black), Percy (Charles S. Dutton), and the pregnant waitress Charlie (Adrianne Palicki). And there are some visitor, a troubled family and a single father, Kyle (Tyrese Gibson).

It turns out that the baby Charlie has is the would-be saviour of the humankind. And the Legion are after him. So it all about turning a roadside dinner into a roadside fortress. Wave by wave came the humans whose already possessed by the angels and become something like a monster, with the capability of jumping and crawling on your ceiling, and also has a big appetite for raw meat. And it pretty straight forward, the humans managed to hold off, so God sent Michael's old angel friend, Gabriel (Kevin Durant) to quickly kill them once and for all.

It just like that, the story, for me is to shallow. Some part which could be good get screwed up, wasting of star potential like Dennis Quaid, weird presentation of apocalypse, and so on. It seems that this movie is not a well-done steak. Although it has the potential to be good. For me it still pretty much raw. Nothing special at all. If you still persistent to see it, just wait and go the your local video store and rent it. Don't waste your time going to the movie theater just to watch it. Well anyway, it's in my honest opinion. But it's up to you, what you're going to do about the movie.
