Critics Consensus

An overblown thriller with formulaic action scenes and poor acting.

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.

Great movie. This is like the crucifixion of Emily rose meets terminator 2.

I rather enjoyed this millennial thriller action horror combination. Arnold Schwarzenegger does a decent job at play a cop who's battling his own demons and some real demons. The special effects still hold up to this day. The story sometimes wobbles a little but all in all it's a good nice popcorn movie with a strong cast. Visually stunning. I especially enjoyed the subway scene.

This movie would be 1000x better with anyone other than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

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.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
