Legion

This movie has gotten a lot of flak, but given the low budget, I think the cast and crew did an exemplary job. It's reminiscent of the Dirty Dozen meets Predator meets Aliens, with a group of futuristic soldiers slated for execution given a last chance at redemption by going on a dangerous mission. Most of the characters are somewhat two-dimensional, but each has a few particular traits that seperate them from the rest of the group. It's a solid movie the whole way through, and might be worth your time to watch.

the movie seemed interesting enough from the cover and plot outline. i'm a big horror fan, i even like plenty of bad horror, so i figured it would be worth watching. well, i think that i was wrong ... this movie is pretty terrible. the dialogue really sucks, half the time i could not even pay attention to what was going on, in fact i had no idea what was going on, and i didnt really want to know what was going on (at least it wasnt predictable being that it was so random and weird). yet, it was kindof like a car accident, you cant stop looking at it.

my friend took the movie out of the dvd player and threw it across the room cursing it immediately after it ended... maybe that says something about how bad the movie was ...

Why do folks bother to make such films? Here was have a Dirty Dozen plot with the Doz led, not by Lee Marvin, but a very hot babe who used to be the spotted chick on some Star Trek spinoff. As usual in horror movies, they enter a sealed place and stupidly separate so they can be picked off one by one by a yellow light. There is utterly no intelligence to any of this. I just got weary as the chars insist on going off alone even though not one time will the yellow light attack any but a single. Yet these futuristic bozos can't see this pattern. Worth 80 minutes of your time if you have nothing else to do.

I found this movie to be a classic "B" movie. I was interested in it because Terry Farrell was starring in it, but soon became disappointed as the plot unfolded. I won't say that the acting was bad, only that the script and storyline was poor. I do not think that this movie could even become a "Cult Classic". I would recommend others not to see it.

I put Legion on my screen mainly because of Terry Farrall (mostly known for her role as Jadzia Dax in Deep Space Nine). Production is rather low budget, story and action is somewhat okay. For a higher rate the production value is too low and the action subpar. What you get is a rather tame mix of movies like Doom (2005), Screamers (1995), Soldier (1998), Ghosts of Mars (2001) and the like. My rate a 4 + 1 bonus for Terry Farrall's appearance.
