End of Days, Inc.: A Quirky Ride into the Apocalypse

Oh boy, where do I even begin with “End of Days, Inc.”? You know, I always thought the apocalypse would come with a bit more oomph, maybe some Vikings riding into battle or everyone eating the last can of surströmming—now *there’s* a Swedish nightmare! But alas, this film brings its own peculiar charm to the end of the world.

Sitting there watching these corporate drones fend off doomsday at the office, I couldn’t help but think about my own time working in a soul-draining customer service job during my university days in Stockholm. Picture it: there I was, 8 hours a day, with an itchy uniform that must’ve been made of sandpaper. I thought *that* was the end of days… Just goes to show how cinema can really put your life in perspective!

The oddball ensemble cast—though not exactly A-list with Hemsworths or Johansson—manages to create a kooky workplace comedy right within the apocalypse. Remember Paul Sun-Hyung Lee from “Kim’s Convenience”? He’s brilliant here, delivering his lines with the kind of dry wit that would make any Swede proud. Somebody give that man a kanelbulle!

I’ll admit, the film’s pacing had me scratching my head. I mean, one minute you’re lost in existential dread, pondering the futility of life, and next they’re cracking jokes about office supplies. It had my emotions swinging like a pendulum at the Stockholm clock museum.

There’s something genuinely endearing about trying to save the world from behind a desk with nothing but some sticky notes and an overworked coffee machine. It’s ridiculous—and maybe that’s the point? A gentle reminder, perhaps, that sometimes life isn’t about grand victories but small human moments. Or maybe it’s just about having a laugh before it all goes kaboom. Either way, it’s a fun ‘what-if’ to dive into, like betting whether ABBA will reunite for good. Spoiler alert: they almost never do.
