Review of Legion

Legion (2010)
6/10
Above Average Story Executed Averagely
27 November 2019
An enjoyable thriller that draws you in with a unique story but throughout the film you will find that there are several for lack of a better word "boring" pauses that are split by sudden spurts of action. The first sequence of scenes sets up an awesome scenario that the second two acts fails to convert upon, and it saddens me to think what could have been.

I love the idea of God turning on his prized creations, which directly contradicts gods gift of free will so I think this is a really cool Idea that Scott Stewart chose to explore with this film. He brings an interesting depth to the moral discussion of free will when he brings a angel who enacts his own free will trying to save humanity from the apocalypse. I think this allowed for a rather deep examination of how we as humans choose to spreed our humanity, and the lack of compassion that we often display, but I digress.

I give this movie a 6/10 because despite its inability to keep the viewers attention it still was able to deliver some good key moments.
