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.

Suffers from an endless barrage of noise and effects that have been cloned over and over from previous movies.

Not as good as the Terminator movies or True Lies but better than Eraser or End of Days.

The setup of the script by the husband-and-wife team Cormac and Marianne Wibberley is intriguing -- just not cleverly executed.

Some of the action scenes here are among the best of the season.

Ahnold is turning himself into a caring, paternal tough guy, and the result seems forced.

The writing is so uninspired and the filmmaking so rushed and gimmicky that they undercut everything Schwarzenegger is trying to accomplish here.

The film may be relatively painless to watch and does offer some occasionally fun moments, but it's simply too flat and uneventful when it should have been exciting, thrilling and possibly even moving.

[I enjoyed] enough of the film to recommend it just slightly, especially to Arny fans.

Essentially Schwarzenegger Lite, definitely a new flavor -- but it still gets the job done. For lack of a better word, it's pleasing.

Taking anything too seriously in a movie as cretinous as The 6th Day is a big mistake: Each time you think someone's actually done some thinking, they'll prove you wrong.

This otherwise undistinguished thriller about cloning is the most entertaining movie from the aging action star for some time.

File this one somewhere in the upper echelon of Arnold films -- it won't make you forget The Terminator, but it's much more endurable than the likes of Eraser.

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.

The good news is, Arnold Schwarzenegger's commitment probably got this ambitious sci-fi thriller made. The bad news is, it would have been better without him.
