End of Days 1999

End of Days was not really my favourite back when it was released, and it's not really a favourite now either. It's a bit better than I remember, though. This take on the stupidity that surrounded the millennium was actually quite good, and the acting was actually quite decent. It still lacks some in the execution, though. It all seems a little rushed. But...I didn't end up bored, so I suppose that is a good thing.

...and seeing big Arnie getting his ass handed to him by a little old lady was actually quite fun.

"Satan's greatest trick was convincing the world he doesn't exist."

I think this movie is an underrated movie for Arnold. Most people I talk to don't even know about it, and while watching this again I realized it wasn't a straight-to-dvd movie: It actually had a big budget and an interesting story. They don't shy away from talking about Satan and the horror element was great. Gabriel Byrne is the star of the show as Satan himself.

Underrated Arnie movie. People hate on the ending, meanwhile I'm shedding a tear.

Such a Terminator spin-off, where this time he also fights with the end of the world, only an opponent is less electronic. ;)

"How do you expect to defeat me when you are but a man, and I am forever?"

Peter Hyams directing Arnold Schwarzenegger can't possible go wrong right?

Long story short, Arnie is acting a bit more serious and tries to stop the Y2K apocalypse. How he can do that? Make sure Gabriel Byrne and Robin Tunney don't have sex! Plus CCH Pounder is a satanist! Always love seeing CCH Pounder in movies. And another thing, Arnie gets his ass kicked by an Miriam Margolyes!

Still it felt a little too generic for me, I still missed my Arnie one-liners and it was a bit too long. 100 minutes would've been fine. Wish I liked it more because I love Arnie and I really like Peter Hyams, but hey, you can't win them all!

Ps. It still was decent though!

Arnie Vs Satan.
The 1st to 2/3rds are good.
Arnie gets his arse kicked by Miriam Margolyes.
The end is not so good.

It was an okay movie I guess. It's pretty solid in most areas but the overall satanical thing was not really my thing.

Only one thing stands between Satan and the rise of the Antichrist....Arnold Schwarzenegger in End of Days, a dark and gritty apocalyptic thriller that’s mediocre at best. The story follows an ex-cop named Jericho who must protect a young woman from the designs of Satan to spawn the Antichrist for the new millennium. Gabriel Byrne and Robin Tunney co-star, but give rather lackluster performances. One of the major problems with the film is the poor character development, and Byrne and Tunney aren’t able to improve the material. Additionally, the storytelling is rather weak and underdeveloped. But, Schwarzenegger gives a unique performance that keeps the film interesting. There are a lot of problems with End of Days, but it delivers some good action and has and an interesting story (though it’s not told very well).

The very brutal and rather silly story about Satan who has to impregnate Christine, a 20yr old girl from NY, between 23:00 and 0:00 on the 31st Dec 1999. Although it's fast pacing and never boring, the movie is only a mediocre action flick!

Kind of your standard, predictable action hero film, with some decent CGI.
