Kaleidoscope This movie is decent only because it so faithfully rips off a couple of very good movies. Basically, you have a group of American commandos, made up from death row inmates, who are going on a suicide mission under the leadership of a tough-as-nails officer. Sound familiar? That's because it is. The resemblance to 'The Dirty Dozen' is shamefully apparent--it even has many of the same characters, albeit some have undergone a sex change. There's a religious fanatic who continuously quotes scripture. There's the one guy who was condemned for something that really isn't wrong at all, making it okay for him to survive to the end. And of course, since the rest of the group are murders, rapists, and deserters, you know they have to pay their debt to society as the monster picks 'em off one by one.But back to the story. Once this commando team is formed, they head to an enemy (we never find out who the US is fighting) planet, there to secure a fueling station that is apparently vital to the war effort. Once they get there, they find no enemies about, and a bunch of dead Americans piled up in a room of some kind. No sign of what brutally slaughtered them. Here is where the film begins channeling 'Aliens'--some scenes (and lines) are literally ripped from that movie, which is to 'Legion' as Albert Einstein is to a three-year-old child. All the tension comes from betting who will die next (my brother and I made quite a game of this, and I made a pretty penny, I don't mind telling you). The commandos die one by one until the climactic battle between man and beast.The cast is decent, headed by Terry Farrell, the former DS9 hottie, and some dude I've never heard of. They do a good job of delivering lines from a script that ought to have been taken out and shot alongside its writer.Still, 'Legion' is fun if you're a fan of B-movies. The monster is... uh, interesting-looking, though it only appears for about two minutes in the movie. The end has a "surprise" twist, but most people will figure it out within the first half-hour. I'd suggest this movie to fans of Terry Farrell--actually, I'd suggest 'Back to School,' but who's asking?:)--or to people who would like to see 'The Dirty Dozen' and 'Aliens' but just don't have enough time in the day.If you do have enough time to watch both, do so, and pass this one by.

athanasia 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 ...

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.

Dr. Who (au) I hate to see Terry Farrell's talents go to waste. Terry Farrell played Major Agatha Doyle in this movie, but only to put her talents to waste.The movie was so boring that if I didn't have Terry Farrell, it would flop. Same storyline as Agatha Christie's Ten Little Niggers, and honestly, I was bored to death by this book.I give the 4/10 just because of Terry Farrell.
