The Trailer

The Review

Legion has the potential to be a great ‘Terminator’ like movie with its apocalyptic theme, but it fell apart at the hands of a weak script, and disjointed scenes.

This is an action film that focuses too much on the doing, that it forgets the storytelling.

I was left clueless till the end on the importance of the baby.

Maybe a sequel is in store perhaps that will shed more light on the baby significance.

The Good

• Ok-ok believable CGI
• Excellent acting from Lucas Black, Dennis Quaid, Charles S. Dutton and Paul Bettany

The Bad

• Terrible dialogues
• One-dimensional character
• The settings was boring, it all happens at the diner
