Grandma was cool – “Legion” (2010)

It seems to me filmmakers are determined to regale us with all unimaginably weird apocalyptic scenarios before the end of 2012. “Legion” is confusing – not because is complicated but because makes no sense whatsoever.

Spoiler!

God has lost his faith in humanity and decided to exterminate human race but humanity will not perish as long as a particular unborn baby lives. Why? We don’t know. Anyway, hosts of angels try to kill the child and its mother. However, there is a renegade angel who has a different idea. He becomes a protector of the conceived life and humanity. His name is Archangel Michael and he starts his rebellion against God by cutting off his own wings. Then he takes a lot of guns, gets into the car and drives into the desert. There, in the middle of nowhere there is a diner where the pregnant woman works as a waitress. Michael gives weapons to the staff and travellers who happened to be there. With these they fend off hordes of possessed by angels zombie-like people. At the end two angels in homoerotic tension stare at each other, talk and fight.

Don’t make a mistake - this one tastes like a B-class movie. It could be better. It suffers from excessive and unconvincing dialogs, is a little bit slow and has a lot of clichés. Nothing special – but grandma was cool.
