It’s how can a film’s five minutes. Legion kicks with falling sky; audience doesn’t see fall. He by drop takes jacket a elegant wings; the doesn’t actually wings. knife and wings off; audience doesn’t see act, either. then into undisclosed, barely housing to army proceeds up in of to unnecessary exit.
Everything need about ex-effects Scott Stewart’s debut this scene. It’s not of showing. There’s mystery who the is, so as the audience. movie R rating, there’s to the dismemberment. And there’s reason man up to of he into. Yet Legion. a ideas, concepts, for “oh, the love this” moments, but there’s mind typewriter it there the bring life.
Here’s pitch Legion premise: has in has swarm angels his out. A angel, Michael, his to he best the a baby, who key salvation human race. battle baby’s automatic an isolated, diner as a (get it?) freaks club-wielding angels. That’s it.
Now I could a of what’s the minute movie, seeing trailer entire movie, cannot. was the that you’d see of, such wall-climbing the spindly-limbed Cream Man, on $10; you’ve seen of material. These fleeting film they’re sandwiched A) action feature than and the a while unseen ‘people’ screen, B) piss-poor dialogue failed humor, C) to max, and D) possibly voice-over the of Blade Runner.
Normally these would acceptable (if even welcome) a B-movie. problem Legion, however, most cast B-movie mold, other the scrapes a D+ level.
