Idiotic beyond the point of redemption, this sinfully stupid farrago manages to insult audiences and critics, Christians and Satanists alike, reducing 2000 years of fertile mythology to the level of an incoherent pop video.

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

More watchable than some critics would have you think.

Part of the degraded charm of End of Days is its buffet-table derivative approach.

Taken as pure popcorn-munchin' fun, Days is an enjoyable, if sometimes bumpy, ride.

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

Action scenes become bland clones of 1,000 movies that we've seen before, and suspense scenes turn into, well, bland clones of action scenes that we've seen 1,000 times before.

An effort which will join True Lies and Raw Deal in the dustbin of Schwarzenegger history.

End of Days keeps asking whether faith or force will save the human race, before hedging its bets and insisting on both. Neither will be enough to save relics like Hyams and Schwarzenegger from their long, affluent drift into irrelevance.
