Critics Consensus

An overblown thriller with formulaic action scenes and poor acting.

Paul Tatara

CNN.com

Arnie's not taking any chances this time, and the result is the most questionably repulsive big-budget film in recent memory.

Tired dud of an over-the top violent action movie.

Rated: 2/5

Newsweek

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?

Akron Beacon Journal

End of Days is never interesting and usually silly, but it might help Arnold get some momentum if he really does run for the governorship of California. At least he'll get the anti-Satan vote.

Rated: 1.5/4

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

The fatal flaw lies in the fact that the Devil, especially when personified by a talented and handsome actor like End of Days's Gabriel Byrne, is actually much more compelling and personable than the hero.

Bangor Daily News (Maine)

The movie pits Arnold Schwarzenegger against the devil (Gabriel Byrne), with director Peter Hyams delivering tense moments of action amid not-so-subtle choices for character development.

Rated: C+

It seems this film is much maligned. I agree it's nasty without being very stylish and doesn't make sense in some parts (sloppy); it also cashes in on Y2K bug fears (yawn). I think it is, though, redeemed a little by the performances of Gabriel Byrne, Rod Steiger and (joy to see) Miriam Margolyes.

End of Days (1999) is a crude and disgusting film, there is nothing that can be saved here. A pretty crazy story involving religion and the end of times that doesn't have much to it except.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e só o arnold schwarzenegger ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, e o filme ficou um pouco fraco no final pouco causa do Cgi.

This movie is the equivalent of eating oatmeal while watching paint dry in the back drop of grass growing. none of the characters make any kind of lasting impression. This movie is 2 hours and 1 minute of just... movie

This has to be one of the MOST UNDERATED films of all time. It didn't get the credit it deserved and I think I know why. For starters, at the turn of the millennium, only Christians were interested in Christian movies and this movie simply had too much profane language and nudity to cater to that demographic. I was one of few Christians who sucked it up and watched it anyway but most didn't. The atheist crowd never cared to even give it a chance because of the religious theme. This film did a great job however at capturing the nature of satan vs the nature of God. This is still one of my favorite movies of all time.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
