Legion” (R)

–God loses faith in humanity and sends a legion of angels to wipe us out. But one of them recruits a group of strangers at a remote diner to help him protect a pregnant chick, whose unborn baby may be humanity’s only hope.

–Paul Bettany plays the archangel Michael, “Friday Night Lights” minx Adrianne Palicki is the pregnant waitress, and the humans defending her include . . . Dennis Quaid, Kate Walsh, Charles S. Dutton, Tyrese Gibson and “The O.C.’s” Willa Holland.

(–Paul Bettany must really like these religious roles. He’s an angel in this flick, he was the albino zealot Silas in “The Da Vinci Code”, and he challenges the bible’s version of creation as Charles Darwin in a new film called “Creation”, which also comes out today.)
