The Bible has been an inspiration for countless stories and adaptations, including Russell Crowe’s Noah, the classic, The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston, and even Veggietales. LegionaryReleased in 2010 and now available on Netflix, showing a version of the Bible Apocalypse that turns angels into God’s disappointment instruments, turning the usual stories of the second coming and the rise of the forces of hell on top. It is also the horror of another act that critics hated, yet successful enough that he spawned a sequence series on Syfy.
Heaven brings hell to the earth
Legionary Not turning the devil into a good guy like Netflix’s Lucifer. Instead, he turns Michael (Paul Bettany) into a hero trying to save humanity under the belief that they deserve a second chance. Opposes him the heavenly host, possesses human beings in grotesque moments of body horror, which seeks to eliminate a small group taking refuge at lunch as heaven falls around them. Among the survivors in the an eater is a young, pregnant woman, Charlie (The Orville’s Adrianne Palicki), carries the future Savior of humanity.
The rest of the human survivors Legionary They are hardly covered enough to call it, yet somehow, the cast is full of identifiable faces. From tennis quaid as the owner of the Diner to Tyrese Gibson, Charles S. Dutton, Kate Walsh, and Willa Holland, you’ve seen everyone before in other roles, and none of them can do much with the material . The exception is Lucas Black, from Fast and fierce: Tokyo’s operation Like Jeep, which quickly emerges as the child’s best hope for survival.
High-conceptual budget
The biggest problem with Legionaryand offset a little stream On Netflix as it is easy to speed or skip a scene, is that despite the crazy setup and the opening sequences leading to the ominous arrival of an ice cream truck, the pacing is so starting until it feels like there is nothing happens for several scenes. Then everything goes to hell, and the last third feels like it rushes to a collection with a literal bang. In those moments of pure horror, with the back of humanity against the wall and bullets flying against the angelic monstrosities, the film finally becomes alive.
Legionary The best movie is not on Netflix Despite being very popular at the Box Office, winning $ 67 million worldwide against a $ 26 million budget, but Syfy was given an odd regeneration in 2010 with the sequel series Dominance. Featuring none of the same stars as the film, the 25 -year show into the apocalypse, centered on Las Vegas, now a fort called Vega. Michael is back, leading humanity against his former frails, led by Gabriel.
As with the film that came before her, Dominance Full of high -level concepts that did not have the budget to be properly visible and remained better in the summary than actually watching it. Legionary is A better watch on Netflix when it is separated from the cost of a film ticket, but it is clearly still a B film with a script that is rough around the edges. A few special effects are impressive, including the ice cream man, but perhaps most effective as a pallet cleaner after a denser horror film like InheritedAnd it’s best with friends who can appreciate the low budget madness.
Legionary Available for streaming on Netflix.
