If I should ever happen to see Armageddon, I just hope that it’s more entertaining and less predictable than Legion. Now don’t get me wrong, every now and then I find myself wanting to watch one of those, action for the sake of action, movies. I’m not even saying that this movie didn’t have some interesting parts. What I am saying is, its should have at least had some characters with personality.From the start of the movie, the audience is bombarded with the entire stereotypical cast of characters. I mean they’re all there. First, there is the fallen from grace, anti-hero, which everybody loves. No problem. Then we meet the unwed pregnant woman, the thug with a hidden heart of gold, the rebellious promiscuous daughter, the couple that hate each other, the dysfunctional father and son, and my favorite, the low level job guy who always gives sage advise right before he dies.

Now, I can even overlook all of these cliché characters, because there seems to be an interesting plot developing.

St. Michael, who has recently fallen to Earth, is on a mission to protect the life of an unborn baby. The angel claims that the child is humanity’s last hope of survival. It is then that a group of people hold up in a gas station, in the hope of surviving an attack from a group of possessed humans. The most interesting part of the story comes in when the survivors realize there is an internal struggle going on in heaven between the angels. So just as soon as it looks like a story is building, it seems like they forgot to come up with an ending.

Throughout the movie the plot gets twisted and vague. For me the only saving grace of this movie was a fight between St. Michael and St. Gabriel. It’s not in every movie that you get to see these two mix it up. Don’t let this fool you though. Like I said, the plot is full of holes.

The acting was alright for the most part. Probably the two best known actors in the movie were Dennis Quaid and Tyrese Gibson. Not exactly the greatest cast, but I’ve seen worse.

Depending on what you are looking for in a movie, this one could go either way. If you’re in the mood for a generic action movie with lots of violence and a few dark jokes, you’re in luck. However, if you are going into this movie looking for great acting and a deep engrossing plot, you better pray for a miracle.
