The theme is really simple, God is tired of us wasting his gift and decides its time to hit the reset button.....again (the 1st time being the flood). Now the film does not introduce us to any new ideas or even plot twists. What Legion does do in the end, is debate the concept of "what we ask for" versus "what we need." This is the story of the movie, one soldier doing what is asked of him while the other does what he believes God actually needs; to believe is humanity again. Many will find this notion blasphemous; saying how dare anyone question His will. While I can appriciate this point of view, the message is not directed to belivers. Instead as one leaves the movie, one may find themself thinking about what is it that they want and what is it that they need.

Everything about Legion, it's plot, characters and even special effects are industry standard. The movie suffers from a lack of execution, though it has an interesting premise. I am still uncertain on my reaction to Paul Bettany who plays Michael. For the most part his character was played as a solider following orders, although it is his character that has rebelled. In an important scene between Michael and Jeep (played by Lucus Black) that is meant to give us background and hope, we are left with the feeling that is was done to be done. Another actor that left me scrathing my head was Dennis Quaid. At this time it seems the only characters he is playing is the disillusioned, uncaring doubter. His character, Bob Hanson is a father who's hopes and dreams have faded away. He is a project that his son takes on to save. Quaid is simply just there, contributing little but his name on the film poster.

In the end because of it poor execution on a promising premise; I give Legion 2 out of 5 pitchforks.
