Review of End of Days (1999) by Lincoln S — 05 Jan 2019
I felt sad whilst watching End Of Days. It seemed as though the reign of Arnie is on its last legs. End of Days is the latest Armageddon story to steal a few of its themes from the Biblical Book of Revelation.
It also represents one of the flurry of millennium-ending movies popping up in theaters all across the world. This time around, Schwarzenegger is attempting to play a character with a little more background and depth than the comic book action heroes he usually portrays.
End of Days can be enjoyed on a perverse level if you're willing to suspend all rational thought for a two hour period (which, by the way, is too long - the movie should have clocked in leaner and meaner).
Schwarzenegger fans will probably be pleased, action lovers won't be bored, and the Catholic League will be angry. Arnie is his usual self(although he probably gets his ass handed to him here more than in any other film on his resume) but Gabriel Byrne is awesome as Satan.
(Good Arnie actioner from the late 90s).
