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

 Blu Ray Review January 9, 2009
Rahmatullah Khan (Singapore)
I was half expecting the Blu Ray version of End of Days to *suck* but suprisingly it is one of the best in terms of picture and sound transfers. I am only using a Samsung HD Ready LCD.
For a late 90's movies it has very good picture quality-: during the night scenes, you don't see grains on the dark background. Sound is also superb. The only thing that *SUCKED* is the extras. Only a director's commentry, nothing else.
So if you are an Arnold Fan and hate 'extras' get EOD on Blu Ray :)

a great arnie flick! April 11, 2008
Mark Esquilin (new york)
A great flick with a scary premise, some people might not find this premise scary but there are others who might find it downright freigthning. Arnie is at his best here his acting is top notch and the action scenes are phenomenal. If your an arnie fan get this flick dont listen to some reviewers and go into this movie thinking your gonna see something brand new cause trust me most movies are not new premises theres only so many ways a story can be told)remember some of the most memorable movies are rehashes and familiar stories. This is a great action flick it does what it intended to,takes you out of reality . If your lookng for shakespear buy macbeth or hamlet if you wan a great action flick get this movie.
 Ahh-nuld isn't desacated enough to look like an alkie April 3, 2008

not that the film is really bad, it's ok, it's just that Arnie is too buff looking to be a drunk so he wasen't too convincing in the dramatic scenes when his family was murdered. Enjoy!
 Schwarzenegger's late nineties comeback, April 2, 2008
Derrick Dunn (Woodbridge,VA)
End Of Days was billed as Schwarzenegger comeback after the misstep of a movie Batman & Robin. While Schwarzenegger is good in the film Gaberial Byrne has the most fun as the devil. Robin Tuney does good in her first female lead and Kevin Pollack gives some one-iners. Peter Hymas has made a okay film with enough action to please the Schwarzenegger fans.
