gItfs the end of the world as we know ith is how the R.E.M. song goes. Or at least thatfs how it seems at the movies right now. Legion is yet another apocalyptic film „Ÿ this one about a legion of angels who gets sent to destroy the Earth after God becomes too fed up and disappointed with mankind. Excellent special effects, some stylish action scenes and bits of humor will please fans of the horror suspense fantasy genres, but otherwise these talented and well-known actors do not elevate the status of this pointless and ridiculous film that is burdened down with a weak storyline, poor dialogue and uneven acting.
