“Legion” is a time-wasting walk through the valley of the shadow of death, where thy plodding plot and thy unintentional laughs are no comfort. Visual-effects guru Scott Stewart’s debut feature (which he also co-wrote) has a promising premise in line with the classic cheese of Dean R. Koontz or Stephen King. But posh production values and sleek effects are all that separate “Legion” from King or Koontz TV miniseries on which you’d bail after Part One.
