Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
davech1207 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.
topcatandcy Lets start with the fact that a lot of movies have been successfully produced using the plot from another film, here is a classic exception to that rule. Dirty Dozen was a classic war movie working with the premise that 12 convicted criminals , with nothing to lose, would be perfect fighting machines for a covert operation. Legion tries to put a 21st century Sci Fi spin on this concept, and not only does it fall short, it never gets off the ground.With a couple of recognisable names in the cast, it promised to be at least an average film, but, boy! were we wrong. Classic heart throb Troy Donahue acted like some one had placed a carrot in his underwear, and then sprayed his face with some form of transparent plastic compound, only his eyeballs seemed to move.Corey Feldman, as a computer nerd, was obviously told that as long as he wore thick rimmed glasses, that would be all the method acting he would require. Lucky for him these advanced computers of the future consisted of giant flashing lights on a huge panel ( all that was missing was some reel to reel tape spinning in the background)Expatriate Australian Rick Springfield, as an actor makes a damn fine singer songwriter, at least he gets a little more action than he did when he was in Battlestar Galactica. As Lorne Greens' son, he gets killed off in the first five minutes. He is probably wishing that he had suffered the same fate in this turkey.The props were farcical, the setting was obviously an old factory which we are told to believe is a space station, the plot, script, and directing are abysmal, but the actual space monster is the crowning glory to this all. We are not permitted to see this creature till the very end of the film, and you can see why. Loosely based on an extra from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this creatures face refuses to show any animation, even when it speaks, nothing moves. If they panned back a bit, I swear you would see the ventriloquist with his hand inside a puppet, drinking a glass of water.This film is in trouble, not bad enough to be a cult classic, not good enough for human consumption..A Real Shocker!!
bcp1524 I saw that this movie was coming on SCI-FI, so being a fan of Corey Feldman movies, I decided to take the time and check it out. Not my best move. Actually it wasn't a bad movie. I was completely able to sit through it. The acting was pretty good, and it had potential, it just had a weak story, and not enough of a plot to back it up. If you are looking for a better movie to entertain you, check out some other space movie, for example any of the Star Wars movies, those, I guarantee you will be entertained, although this movie didn't fail miserably.
rtw2 Overall I felt this was a good film, but the first five minutes? Since I'd just paid to hire the video I wasn't going to give up that easily but I really worried what the rest of the film would be like.Once the mission begins the film improved markedly so that by the time it finished I was quite impressed. Well worth watching.
