The Film "Legion" And What You Need To Know About It

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 actually several different things that you might care to know about this film. Through the course of this article, you can get few different pieces of relevant information about this critically acclaimed film. More than this, you are going to get a breakdown of the plot and a few of the actors and actresses that made this film extraordinary.

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.

When the film begins, you are watching a conversation take place between a man and a woman. The man is Jeep, and he is in love with the woman Charlie. Charlie is pregnant with someone else's baby. Jeep wants to help raise the baby at Charlie's side and have a family, but Charlie is not too keen on the idea of being a family with Jeep and the baby.

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 also learns that the entire fate of mankind rests within the child that was meant to die but lived. That child is the one that is growing inside of Charlie. It doesn't take long for the end of the world to come knocking on the door of Jeep's father's (Dennis Quaid) business. The angels have come to kill them all to get to Charlie's baby. If that baby dies, so does the world.

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.
