How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:112

Fresh:45

Rotten:67

Average Rating:5.2/10

Consensus: This offering from Arnold Schwarzenegger contains an intriguing, disturbing premise, but the film's execution is too routine and formulaic to make good use of it.

Runtime: 2 hrs 4 mins

Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

US Box Office: $33,813,823

Synopsis: In the not-too-distant future, when pets can be cloned after they die and "virtual girlfriends" can be installed and programmed, Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) works as a helicopter tour... In the not-too-distant future, when pets can be cloned after they die and "virtual girlfriends" can be installed and programmed, Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) works as a helicopter tour pilot. On his birthday he comes home to discover an identical version of himself--an illegal human clone--celebrating with his family and friends. The next thing he knows, a squad of killers is after him in order to hide the evidence of their cloning activities, funded by Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), a powerful businessman who hopes to make billions from human cloning in collaboration with his medical expert, Dr. Griffin Weir (Robert Duvall). Of course, nobody believes Adam when he says there's an impostor living his life, and soon he has to take matters into his own hands while being chased by bad guys who won't stay dead thanks to the magic of cloning and Syncordings, instant memory downloads. THE 6TH DAY is an intriguing sci-fi thriller, combining science fact and fiction with everything viewers could want from a Schwarzenegger movie: terrific special effects and an action-packed story, with two Arnolds for twice the fun.

The storyline makes less and less sense the more you think about it.

A clone itself, borrowing elements from Arnold's Total Recall plus a few ideas from Blade Runner and Face/Off, all of which are much better movies.

There is a plot, and it raises an interesting question. But if you scrutinize it, it holds together as well as a house of cards in a wind tunnel.

It's tough not to think that, despite the cutting edge subject matter, it's Arnold himself that's a little out of date.

A well-crafted entertainment containing enough ideas to qualify it as science fiction and not just as a futurist thriller.
