After a two-year hiatus that included recovery from heart surgery, Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to the big screen in November 1999 with End of Days, a Thanksgiving turkey if ever there was one. Overcooked and bloated with stuffing, this ludicrous thriller attached itself to the end-of-the-millennium furor that kicked in a year too early. A prologue begins in 1979 with panic in the Vatican when a comet signals the birth of a child who will, 20 years later, become the chosen bride of Satan, destined to conceive the devil's spawn between 11 p.m. and midnight on December 31, 1999. It's hard to decide who has the more thankless role--Robin Tunney as Satan's would-be bride, or Schwarzenegger as Jericho Cane, the burned-out alcoholic bodyguard assigned to protect the girl from Satan, billed as "The Man" and played with cheesy menace (and an inconsistent variety of metaphysical manifestations) by Gabriel Byrne. With kitschy character names like Jericho and Chicago (Arnie's partner, played by Kevin Pollack) and lapses in logic that any 5-year-old could spot, End of Days is a loud, aggravating movie that would be entertaining if it were intended as comedy. But Schwarzenegger and director Peter Hyams approach the story as an earnest tale of redemption and tested faith, delivering a ridiculous climax full of special effects and devoid of dramatic impact. You're left instead to savor the verbal and physical sparring between Satan and Jericho, resulting in the most thorough pummeling Schwarzenegger's ever endured onscreen. Of course he eventually gets his payback, just in time for New Year's Eve. Perhaps he was touched by an angel. --Jeff Shannon

 Somewhat good, but kind of annoying March 10, 2010
Eric Mckay (Pittsburgh Pa)
This movie made me like it and hate it. All at the same time. I bought this movie cause I thought that it was a simple Arnold action flick. I did not relize it had a Christian theme to it. Not that this ruined the movie for me. But it made it a little annoying to watch. Not being Christian. Since this movie makes Christianity out to be real. With a "Without a shadow of a doubt" kind of attitude. But I relize it is just entertainment. That being said I did like the action parts in the movie. And the hole Arnold shoot em up kinda thing you would expect. But then after being a little annoyed for two hole hours you get to the end. And see what happens to Arnolds character. Plus they try to use the Devil to scare you. If you dont believe in the Devil how are you gonna find it scary? So basically the religous theme annoyed me. But all in all it was good for entertainment. I can see however why the paticular copy I own of this movie right now. Is currently out of print.
 No matter how silly, good vs. evil, I'm there! February 15, 2010
Tony's reviews
I liked this film the first time I saw it, and like it now just the same. The charecters are flawed somewhat, but the actors playing them do a decent job, and seem to have a lot of fun with it.
I'm sick and tired of critics acting like they know good from bad, because to me, 98% of the time, they don't know
squat! Thus, a shining example being this film, good vs. evil has been done numerous times, and granted, this isn't the most original way either, but still enjoyable, plus being an Arnold fan doesn't hurt, although he seems alot more humane in this, even though he does still wreak alot of havoc here. Gabriel Byrne does a good devilish figure too-obviously the primary villian, I've seen my share of devilish depictions-and the one here doesn't dissapoint.
The remaining cast does a nice job too, even though some don't last too long. I'm getting kind of tired of saying
the same thing-but here you shouldn't expect biblical accuracy, try taking it on its own merits, Cloud ten pictures, take note.
 End of Days January 3, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Jericho Cane, a beaten down ex-cop, wakes up to another day, oblivious to the struggle that he soon must face. His job as a security specialist alongside his partner Chicago has become a tireless routine of seedy surveillance jobs, and since the death of his wife and child, everything in life which once held any meaning to him is now gone. Following a bizarre confrontation with a crazed homeless man warning him of impending doom, Cane rescues a young woman, Christine York from attackers who have invaded her home. He soon finds himself drawn into a heart stopping game of cat and mouse, as he realizes that she is the key to a supernatural force of terror, born of prophecy long ago foretold. For she is the unwitting object of desire of what deceptively appears to be just a man, but is in fact the ultimate embodiment of evil Satan. Now, as the world stands on the brink of the new millennium, it is up to Cane to protect Christine and all mankind from witnessing the end of days. End of Days is a great mix of horror, action, and supernatural elements. This is one movie you shouldn't miss.

 Not Respectful December 2, 2009

This person did not respond to two of my letters. I made a mistake and ordered an HD DVD instead of a simple DVD. He refused to talk to me to possibly make an adjustment with me or swap out for another DVD that worked. I don't believe in the policy "Rejection by Disappointment" concerning customer satisfaction.
