Review of End of Days (1999) by Emanate727 — 05 Apr 2021
There are several ads in the background in different scenes that read "NY2K are you ready?". Y2K was shorthand for "Year 2000" and there was a widespread fear that computer operating systems would crash because only the last two digits of the year were used to indicate dates, and it was feared computers would read the "00" as 1900 causing mayhem.
There were even email suggestions going around that in the year 1999 people should change the year of their VCR's to 1976 because the days of the week (starting March 1) would be the same for both years.
The fear of a Y2K meltdown was exaggerated, as timely programming fixes were able to prevent a major catastrophe.
