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".

Before you can really make a decision one way or another you are going to have to see the film. Before you are going to want to see the film, you might care to know a little more about the plot and some of the names that you can expect to see in the film itself. With that being said, you can look to this plot synopsis as a little better introduction to the film.

One thing that you might care to keep in mind about this article will be that there will not be nothing spoiled by you reading into the plot of this film. This would be ideal synopsis for someone who wanted to learn a little more about the film without getting the entire thing spoiled for you.

This film actually starts out with two friends standing out by a swingset and discussing the future. Jeep is a man who is completely infatuated with Charlie, the pregnant woman that is swinging on the swing before him. He tells her that he will be able to provide for her, and he wants to raise the baby with her. She does not seem overly thrilled about this possibility and kind of shrugs him off.

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.

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.

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. - 40730
