End of Days Reviews
Arnie's not taking any chances this time, and the result is the most questionably repulsive big-budget film in recent memory.
| Feb 6, 2018
Tired dud of an over-the top violent action movie.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2010
Peter Hyams's lurid, FX-happy thriller slams pieces of a dozen other movies into a noxious new compound. It has to be seen to be believed, but who'd want to?

Idiotic beyond the point of redemption, this sinfully stupid farrago manages to insult audiences and critics, Christians and Satanists alike, reducing 2000 years of fertile mythology to the level of an incoherent pop video.
| Dec 2, 2002
Displaying precisely the imagination that gave the world such epic achievements as The Star Chamber and The Relic, Hyams dusts off America's designated import and goes with Arnie Schwarzenegger his own self.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 19, 2002
A depressingly shabby excuse for a movie.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000
The acting is hammy, all the 666 Book of Revelations stuff has been worn out since The Omen, and the film never quite focuses on anything long enough to build up any pseudo-religious creeps.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Full of sound and fury, signifying absolutely nothing, End of Days is the loudest and least of the year's end-of-the-world movies.

Reasonably entertaining.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
There are moments in End of Days when Schwarzenegger seems to be gunning for an Oscar. Those moments play like comic relief.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
The movie is frequently silly.
| Original Score: C+ | Jan 1, 2000
We're treated to such a broad panoply of godawful dialogue, righteously shoddy acting, and, worst of all for an action blockbuster of this sort, subpar effects work, that it's all you can do not to giggle helplessly.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Hyams seems able to establish a rhythm and keep the sequence clear. It's when people talk that he tends to get into trouble.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
It's too lurid, exploitative and, on some level, just plain silly.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
This is of interest only to the hard core of Schwarzenegger's army.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
You'll walk out of End of Days wanting to pick a fight with Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's how bad this flick is.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Drab and depressing.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Think of End of Days as Hollywood's own Y2K bug.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
The movie is as bloodless as a cyborg, and it feels as if it has been assembled according to diagrams supplied by someone who studied every successful sci-fi action thriller and then multiplied the findings by 10.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
End of Days keeps asking whether faith or force will save the human race, before hedging its bets and insisting on both. Neither will be enough to save relics like Hyams and Schwarzenegger from their long, affluent drift into irrelevance.
