If I should ever happen to see the 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, at least have 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 advice before he dies.

Now, I can overlook all of these cliche characters because there seems to be an interesting plot development. 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. Shortly after, a group of people hold up in a gas station, with the hope of surviving an attack from a group of possessed humans. The most interesting part of the story comes when the survivors realize there is an internal struggle going on in heaven between the angels. 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 convoluted 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, for the most part, alright. 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.
