Watch For Free – Legion (2010) – Watch Free Movies
action No CommentsThere’s not very much wrong with Legion (2010), except that it chooses to tell the wrong story and barely has the resources to tell the narrative that it chooses. The idea of God finally becoming fed up with humanity and launching an extermination is an intriguing one, the kind of thing that brings to mind epic-scale apocalyptic carnage. Yet the world of Legion primarily exists in a single roadside diner and it tells the tale of but a handful of victims of God’s initial wrath. This is certainly not the first film to tell of world-changing events from the point of view of a single group of isolated characters (Signs, Pontypool, Cloverfield, etc), but this is the first one of this sub-genre which seems to base its storytelling decisions on budgetary limitations.
A token amount of plot: God has decided to wipe out humanity, having grown tired of watching mankind squander their resources and their lives. The only hope for our world is a lone rogue angel (Paul Bettany), who still loves us and still has faith in the species that was created in God’s image. He immediately ventures to a rundown greasy spoon, which contains a handful of locals, a few accidental tourists, and a young pregnant waitress (Adrianne Palicki) whose child inexplicably holds the key to humanity’s survival. As the world is attacked by the very forces of God himself, a battle for the very survival of our species takes place in the most unlikely of places.

I have come across an interesting phenomenon dealing with two types of people. One with vast experience and little wisdom who hasn’t gotten anywhere and another with great smarts(often substituted for wisdom) yet little experience who haven’t gotten anywhere either. What’s the difference between the two?
