Learning About The Film "Legion"

Legion [Blu-ray]By Daryl Mitchell

Every single year tons of movies are released with the hopes that audiences will love them. While there are certainly many movies that might have been very well received throughout 2010, it might be safe to suggest that one of the most acclaimed films of this year was the impressive action film "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.

The film opens on a couple of friends, Jeep and Charlie, who are sharing a moment on a rickety swing set around their mobile home. Charlie is pregnant, and Jeep is trying to tell her that he could provide security for her and the baby. He wants to be there for her, but she does not seem to be very receptive to the idea of him providing anything for her.

You are also quickly introduced to an overly aggressive archangel turned human named Michael (Paul Bettany). He has been sent to orchestrate the demise of the human race, but instead has decided to give the world another chance at survival. You see, unseen to the inhabitants of Earth, God has become displeased with mankind's disobedience. He has decided to eradicate his creation, and instead of a flood he is sending an army of death dealing angels to do the job.

The audience learns that the hope of mankind really rests in the birth of one child. This child is sort of the product of a miracle in its own right, and it is also the child that happens to be growing inside of Charlie. The angels have come with the purpose of killing the child, because if it is born than mankind can be saved. There are a group of people that find themselves pent up in Bob's (Dennis Quaid) gas station/auto shop/restaurant fending off the end of the world together.

Michael is one of those people, with the sole purpose of protecting the child that is growing inside of Charlie. He knows that the hope of mankind is this child and he will stop at nothing to ensure that come hell or high water nothing will harm it. This means that he will have to risk his eternal damnation for the sake of the humans who have forsaken him as well as God. It will also mean a battle of epic proportions with another angel army head.

You should understand that there are a few things to consider when it comes to the action film "Legion". This is considered to be one of the most visually stunning pictures of 2010, and you should take the time to appreciate why.
