The Bible was the inspiration for countless stories and adjustments, including Russell Crowes Noah, The classic, The ten commandments Representation of Charlton Heston and even Vegetables. legionPublished in 2010 and now available on Netflix, a version of the biblical apocalypse shows that angels transformed into the instruments of the disappointment of God and transforms the usual stories of the second coming and the rise of hell. It is also another action horror that was hated by critics, but still successful enough that it produced a continuation series about Syfy.
The sky brings hell to earth
legion Don’t turn the devil into a good guy like Netflix’s Lucifer. Instead, Michael (Paul Bettany) turns into a hero who tries to save humanity under the belief that they earn a second chance. The heavenly host is to oppose him, who has people in grotesque moments of physical fright, who try to erase a small group from protection in a dinner while the sky rises around them. Among the survivors in the Diner Is a young, pregnant woman, Charlie (The Orville’s Adrianne Palicki) with the future Redeemer of Humanity.
The rest of the human survivors in legion Are hardly worked out enough to name them, but somehow the line -up is filled with recognizable faces. From Dennis Quaid as the owner of the Diner to Tyrese Gibson, Charles S. Dutton, Kate Walsh and Willa Holland, they have seen them all in other roles, nobody can do a lot with the material. The exception is Lucas Black, from Fast and Furious: Tokyo operation As a Jeep, who quickly gives the child’s best hope of survival.
High concept low budget
The biggest problem with legionAnd it is slightly offset Streaming On Netflix, since it is easy to accelerate or skipping, this is triggered, despite the crazy setup and the opening sequences that culminate with the threatening arrival of an ice cream car, so that it feels like nothing for several scenes happens . Then everything goes into hell and the last third feels like a literal bang came to a conclusion. It is in these moments of pure horror in which the back of humanity flies against the wall and balls against the angel monstrosities, the film finally comes to life.
legion Is not the best film on Netflix Although it was a surprising cash register business, he earned 67 million US dollars worldwide against a budget of 26 million US Domination. With none of the same stars as in the film, the show is now a fortress called Vega 25 years after the apocalypse, which focuses on Las Vegas. Michael is back and leads humanity against his former brothers, led by Gabriel.
As with the film that came before, Domination Is filled with high -ranking concepts that the budget was missing to look through it properly and remains better in connection with the summary than actually observing it. legion Is A better clock on Netflix if it is separated from the costs of a cinema card, but it is clearly still a B-movie with a script that is rough on the edges. A few special effects are impressive, including the ICE Cream man HereditaryAnd it is best with friends who can appreciate the madness with a low budget.
legion is available to stream on Netflix.
