The movie equivalent of the fruitcake you get every year from the folks back home. It's brick-heavy and full of nasty bits you don't want to put in your mouth, lovingly wrapped in pink cellophane.

Starts by stealing bad ideas from other movies, then it putsthem together in the wrong order and casts the wrong actors to play the parts. In other words, it's one of the worst movies I've seen this year.

It's not strong on substance (though it could have been), still, I don't think you'll have a bad time.

Dim-witted collection of recycled scenes and themes from Rosemary's Baby and The Seventh Sign, not to mention The Omen, The Exorcist and all of their infernal sequels.

End of Days isn’t complete waste of time but all those who watch it would probably agree that this film’s days were numbered long time ago.

If you don't think about it too hard, it's kind of fun.

85 percent explosions and editing idiocy (a window can't break without director Peter Hyams cutting between five different angles) and 15 percent Arnold trying to grow a third dimension.

Es una soberana tontería, pero eso sí, bastante entretenida

Hyams seems able to establish a rhythm and keep the sequence clear. It's when people talk that he tends to get into trouble.

Schwarzenegger fans will probably be pleased, action lovers won't be bored, and the Catholic League will be angry. Everyone else will see End of Days for what it is: a deliciously bad motion picture.

Easily one of the worst movies of 1999, End of Days is absolutely insufferable.

End of Days is definitely in the top two or three worst studio films of the year.

It's too lurid, exploitative and, on some level, just plain silly.

Director Peter Hyams propels End of Days with a series of crash-and-burn sequences that express the archetypal link between Satan and fire.

The plot is such hooey...and the plot holes so gaping that End of Days proves more exasperating than enjoyable. [Blu-Ray]

Think of End of Days as Hollywood's own Y2K bug.

This film is like an overflowing pot of how to make a bad movie stew.

The movie is so full of hackneyed ideas, imagery and dialogue that it's unintentionally quite funny.
