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.

... 6th Day cannot match Schwzrzenegger's best action efforts, and the harder it tries, the more it sabotages its own best interests ...

The studios should enact their own '6th Day Law' prohibiting the carbon-copy duplication of elements from scenario to scenario.

In paying attention to potentially thought-provoking issues, the writers neglect basic storytelling.

...Simply another fiery, loud shoot-em-up with overblown villains, over-the-top heroics, and lapses in simple logic.

A calculated but winning piece of back-to-basics entertainment... with two Arnolds for the price of one.

Jeffrey Westhoff

Schwarzenegger keeps the violence to a PG-13 level, though his idea of pacifism is to fire a million laser bolts instead of a million bullets.
