This could be devilish fun, but director / cinematographer Peter Hyams slows the action to a ponderous crawl.

We're treated to such a broad panoply of godawful dialogue, righteously shoddy acting, and, worst of all for an action blockbuster of this sort, subpar effects work, that it's all you can do not to giggle helplessly.

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.

End of Days is an overblown, overspectacular, oversold movie without an original idea in its head.

There are moments in End of Days when Schwarzenegger seems to be gunning for an Oscar. Those moments play like comic relief.

The movie is frequently silly.

You'll walk out of End of Days wanting to pick a fight with Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's how bad this flick is.

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

Many sins have been committed in the name of religion; End of Days ranks as the latest.

The acting is hammy, all the 666 Book of Revelations stuff has been worn out since The Omen, and the film never quite focuses on anything long enough to build up any pseudo-religious creeps.

A studio-manufactured product with no reason for being other than to exploit millennial angst, this film is better titled End of Schwarzenegger.

Movies like this are particularly vulnerable to logic.

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