Why Watch The Film "Legion"?

By Daryl Mitchell

There are a few films that come out every single year that are just too good not to see. While 2010 might have been littered with these films, one of the films that many people were talking about was the action picture "Legion".

There are all kinds of different things that you might care to know about this particular film, and through reading this article you are going to get a good impression as to just what they are. You are going to get introduced to a few of the names that make this film remarkable and some of the key plot points that you might care to understand before actually watching the flick.

You should be relieved, though, that this particular synopsis will not give you spoilers to the story. With that being said, if you have not seen the film and wanted to learn just a little more about it, you should read entirely through this article. This will not spoil some of the bigger factors of the film for you.

When the film begins, you are watching a conversation take place between a man and a woman. The man is Jeep, and he is in love with the woman Charlie. Charlie is pregnant with someone else's baby. Jeep wants to help raise the baby at Charlie's side and have a family, but Charlie is not too keen on the idea of being a family with Jeep and the baby.

There are some tussles, as you meet the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) who is a fallen angel who has taken it upon himself to defend the human race against extinction. You learn that God is not pleased with those on Earth, and much like the biblical flood, has decided that the time has come to start all over again. Instead of the flood, he is sending leagues of angels to eradicate mankind.

The salvation of the entire world rests with one child, the child that is inside of Charlie. Now, the end of the world is on the doorstep, and a group of people are held up inside of the business that Jeep's father, Bob (Dennis Quaid) owns. Now there are leagues of angel possessed humans that are trying to kill Charlie and her baby, and consequently anyone that stands in their way.

The hope of her protection rests in Michael, the angel that has become human to save mankind. He tells in the movie about how he was able to watch the world formed and mankind created, and he too loved them as much as God did. He will risk everything to see it survive. There will be nothing that will stop him, except perhaps an epic showdown with a former friend and angel military leader. This battle will likely determine the fate of the entire world.

While there might be plenty of other things that you should know about the film "Legion", hopefully you were given a pretty good introduction through having read this piece. While there might be other things to consider, this should give you a good breakdown of the plot. - 40729
