End of Days, Inc. is a smart movie with several brilliant real world dilemmas shown in a dark satirical manner. How peoples of different personalities interact, how the characters in the movie change for the better.
If you can forgive the fact that the movie in its entirety is filmed in very easy to produce sets, meaning you get the feeling its obviously not a big budget movie, frankly it doesn't feel like a medium budget movie. However when saying that, the hallways and corridors, storage areas and offices all give the desired dark, gloomy theme. Or of a dull out of time place you will just waste away in. Your stereotypical 9- 17 workplace.
The acting is sometimes brilliant others very different, while not awful its certainly not memorable. The few special effects in the movie was sub par, nothing that gave me any special feelings. I must admit the final scene was done quite well, it gave a dark tone and much room for after-thought.
So finally, a short summary of what I liked and disliked:
Liked: A good, yet dark satirical portrayal of our daily lives at work. Sometimes brilliant acting, specially from the characters Mr. Godfrey and Ms. Esther.
Disliked: weird quirks and obvious low budget tone. There are several things that could have been explained a bit more, its truly a Sci-Fi for the hardcore viewers, its not as easily watched as other Sci-Fi movies in my opinion.
I rate the movie 5/10 it was neither bad nor good, it was a good debut film by the director. I recommend to prepare your mind to watch the movie more as if it was a drama- comedy with elements of Sci-Fi not as a pure Sci-Fi movie, as it certainly has a "different tone" than most other films, specially if compared to big Hollywood productions.
