Legion

Scott Stewart's supernatural thriller Legion, scripted by Peter Schink, concerns a group of strangers in an out-of-the-way eatery who become the first line of defense when God, believing the human race is no longer worthy of Him, decides to end their existence. This motley crew's only spiritual ally is the archangel Michael, played by Paul Bettany. Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Charles S. Dutton, and Lucas Black co-star in the Screen Gems production. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Seems like a very weak premise.

God, the one that created the world, and all the inhabitants, decides to end the world, and people and the arch-angel can stand against God?

Sorry. If God wants you dead, you will die. God wants the world dead, he destroys it. (meteor, massive earth quake, super-nova of our sun.) One angel and several "humans" can not stop god. They might be able to convince him not too, but not stand in his way.
Even a limited power god(greek mythology type) would be able to defeat humans, even with an arch-angel(being the most powerful angel.)
This one sounds far fetched from the begining.

When I saw the preview for this, I rolled my eyes. Not because of any religious belief I have, but because the story has so many ridiculous flaws that it will be a complete waste of time. I mean, comeon... angels come to kill the human race and they use GUNS to kill the angels? What. Ever.

Not to mention the fact it looks incredibly cheesy. And then the "twist" at the end is an eye roller as well...

I like watching Dennis Quaid on Screen; that was one of the main reasons I watched it.

Sigh went to the theatre last weeks with high hopes. This movie completely blows. Acting is good, the music is great, the story is oh so stupid. The movie was sooo blasphemous and makes no sense. The movie is about a pregnant woman who talks about thinking of an abortion but chickening out and it's too late. There is a slow witted worker there who wants to take care of her and the baby. The entire movie takes place, besides the first and last five minutes, at a diner with trapped people. They never give an explanation at all on why the baby makes a difference. The whole movie is about Michael saying he still has faith in humans, while God has lost his, and he's convinced he can change God's mind and show him the error of his ways by the end of the movie. At the end he chastises Gabriel for following directions blindly. Also, it's never told why he can be an angel in form but the other angels (outside Gabriel) must possess humans. And no magic in fighting, Michael uses a gun. What the...? Trust me, the movie is ridiculous.

Legion - is a Wrong view of the Book of Revelation - of a child being born by a woman. It's NOT a literal child. DUUUUHHHH! Shame on you new age Directors of that movie.
