 | In the year 1999 Satan arives back on earth in New York City. He is tring to fine this girl who was choosen to bare his child in the 11:00 hour before the year 2000 hits if that happens the devil un-locks the gate of hell and planet earth will be doomed. Vatican knights try to kill her cause if she's dead the devil can't for fill his duty and that stupid Arnold Schwarzenegger had to butt in and keep her alive making matters worst and for that he died in the end. This movie was good how can people give it three they just don't know good acting, stories lines, horror, and action. |

| I have watched this movie twice now, the first time I didn't like it due to the fact that I am a Christian and approached this movie as if it should be Biblically and Theologically accurate. Of course, this movie is far from that and due to my mind set I didn't like it. Though I didn't care for it the first time I did like some elements to the movie and thought some things were done nicely and Arnold's journey of finding his faith in the film is a nice touch. When I decided to go back and rewatch this film I approached it as a normal film with religious overtones and viewed it like I viewed the Prophecy films or Constantine, which is it's not Biblically accurate but it does get some stuff right and is still entertaining.
Once I got past that problem it was an enjoyable film, I know it's received some bad reviews but I thought it was well done for what it was trying to convey. The basic premise of the film is that in the book of Revelation in the Bible, Satan will have been bound for 1000 years and would then be released, now the writer has interpreted this to mean that Satan had been bound for the last 1000 years and that in 1999 he would return to earth. However, this is where things go away from the Bible, Satan comes back to look for a bride who will bear his child, The Antichrist, and kick start Armageddon.
Arnold's character is interesting for him to play because he's always the action hero, whereas in this film he's playing more of a dramatic role and actually is forced to act and does so convincingly. His character, Jericho, is a former cop and believer in God, whose wife and daughter were murdered and now he's a suicidal alcoholic who works for a major security firm. His newest client just happens to be the man Satan has picked to embody for his new quest on earth. Satan is played by Gabriel Byrne, and he is definitely enjoying himself in this one, unlike his toned down and slightly bored looking performance in Stigmata (the other religious thriller he starred in this year).
The supporting cast is also great, Robin Tunney (who looks great in this film by the way) was perfect as Satan's would be bride. Kevin Pollack played Arnold's partner at the security firm and provided some very timely comic relief and Rod Steiger as a priest was nicely played.
As I said the movie is not Biblically accurate by any means, but if you don't approach it as such, it is enjoyable. If you're a fan of the Prophecy films, The Devil's Advocate, or Constantine then you will enjoy this film.
End of Days is rated R for violence, language, and brief sexuality/nudity. |

| This movie is bad, But is still good alittle bit. I hate those demons. Satan is so far of these people turn to evil. arnold can handle those suckers in new york city. He is so smart to kill demons. We will never forget what Jesus farther say about the truth. But don't worry, Arnold will kick Satan ass. |
| Rating | | | Date | March 08, 2005 | | Summary | creepy,, moving, chilling and freaky all in one | Content
| I freaked out when I saw this with my grandpa in theatres
then the next day I freaked out even more when I got to see it with my aunt.
both times I was moved, lauging and scared beyond reason
the creepiest scene is the one where the guy in the hospital is hung above on the ceiling like Christ and he's either bleeding to death or already was. that's from freaky stuff. very creepy. the whole movie is phenomenal. we should all be greatful Satan didn't destroy us all and we're still here with God on this Earth trying to live each day of our lives the best we can. if you like Schwarzenegger then see : Last Action Hero, the Terminator movies, the running man, total recall, and many others
This movie was watched by me 2 times when it came on tv
and I now have it on dvd
the extras on the disc are astounding too
see this movie
it will creep you out more then you can imagine
and teach you valuable lessons |

| I wouldn't give this any stars.
This film is offensive, indecent, and harmful, and shows a disgraceful lack of knowledge and understanding.
Anyone who has any respect for God or for goodness should avoid watching this film. The explicit scene where Satan is having sex with a man's wife and daughter at the same time, whom he has possessed to lie with him, is just one example of what you shouldn't allow yourself to suffer seeing.
