    Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a charter pilot who comes home one day to find a clone is living his life. Gee, can you guess what the big surprise twist is....? Two Arnies for the price of one in another of his forays into sci-fi action. It does often resemble his earlier Total R...( read more)ecall, although it's not as tacky or nonsensical. In fact the technophobic conspiracy theory premise is rather more like I Robot in execution. Arnie sticks to what he knows with some decent action sequences and corny one-liners, but the direction is workman-like with a lot of unnecessary visual nonsense. The whole message of the story also seems to be an anti-cloning message that suggests it will lead to human life becoming disposable, which makes the fact that it makes jokes about the deaths of some of its characters look tasteless and completely at odds with the point of the film. It's not terrible and it's certainly better than Total Recall, but it just comes across as a cheap straight to DVD knock off of Minority Report.

    "They picked the wrong man to clone."

    In this science-fiction thriller set in the very near future, DNA cloning has been perfected and has become an accepted part of everyday life -- cattle and fish are cloned for sale at the market, genetically engineered fruit and veget...( read more)ables are found in most family's kitchens (nacho-flavored bananas, anyone?), and if your pet dies, you can even order a cloned replacement. But laws have been passed that strictly forbid the cloning of human beings. However, helicopter pilot Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who believes people should live and die the old-fashioned way, discovers that someone has been violating these regulations. After Adam luckily avoids being on a copter that crashes, he comes home to discover someone has duplicated him. Now Adam is on a mission to find out who cloned him and why, as he struggles to take back his life from a scientifically created impostor, his boss Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), and a pair of thugs (Sarah Wynter and Rod Rowland) who have been cloned into near-indestructibility. The 6th Day also stars Robert Duvall as cloning expert Griffin Weir, Michael Rooker as Drucker's right-hand man Robert Marshall, and Michael Rapaport as Adam's partner, Hank Morgan.

    The premise of this movie is good: What if you came home one day and found out that a carbon copy of yourself was invading your home and family. The general cloning premise of the film also leads to the opportunity for social comment, especially in the light of the recent sheep cloning and such. Unfortunately, this film soon gets caked down into a stupid illegal cloning plot and becomes just another paint-by-numbers action flick. Even at their worst, most Schwarzenegger films have something to offer in terms of memorable lines or action scenes (hell, even Last Action Hero had its moments). But this one just sits there. I usually love Arnold's action flicks, because the big guy has a monstrous and charming screen presence, but in this one he's just kind of dull. If you're looking for a better sci-fi Schwarzenegger film, see Predator, and skip The 6th Day.

    "I want my life back!"


    The 6th Day marks Schwarzenegger's return to sci-fi action with this typically entertaining saga about the topical issue of human cloning.

    Set in the not-too-distant future, scientists have discovered a way to clone typical animals (

    ...( read more)including house-holds pets). But human cloning is outlawed when an experiment goes horribly wrong, with devastating results.

    Despite this government restriction on the cloning of humans, a group of scientists work to perfect the technique. Enter typical house-hold husband Adam Gibson (Schwarzenegger) who becomes entangled in a conspiracy when he comes home to discover that he has been cloned and his life has been stolen from him. But the cloning scientists cloned him by mistake (of course it's a mistake to throw two Arnies into the mix), and once they discover their mistake they seek to eliminate Adam to avoid government action against them.

    And thus begins a race against all odds as Adam battles to get his life back.

    A very original idea, and made during the time when mankind had been most curious about cloning. The film was certainly made at the right time and has relevance to contemporary society...but face it, when you throw Schwarzenegger into a sci-fi action film you're not going to expect a masterpiece. The man cannot act overly well, but at least he's impressive during the action scenes.

    And even though the film delivers a good message about its topic, it's still full of plot holes and incredible stupidity on the part of the villains. But of course it's merely an action film, not anything groundbreaking.

    The performances were very mixed. Everyone knows that Schwarzenegger can't deliver his lines without making them sound contrived. This is no exception. There's a bit of intensity in his performance, but he's far from receiving an Oscar. Tony Goldwyn was a very intriguing villain. He does what he can with such a mediocre screenplay, but he's not enough to make up for Arnie's average performance here.

    Most of the supporting cast are pretty good, but some of the more talented actors are given a side-line position. A shame, because with a bit less Arnie and a bit more talent this film could have made itself a little better.

    The visual effects blew me away. For a film made in the age when CGI was still in its infancy, it sells the concept of the future exceptionally well. Especially with the high-tech weaponry and the high-tech computers.

    The screenplay was standard. It was at least unpredictable, but we all knew how it was going to end. But despite this, it's an incredibly fun film to watch.

    The 6th Day is a fairly impressive sci-fi/action film. There's some good action, some creative ideas and a clever concept of the future. Worth seeing.

    El ataque de los chones.. digo, de los clones. Tiene unos saltos conceptuales enormes, pero si no eres exigente, te va a gustar. Buenos efectos. La niña robot esta mas fea que Chucky!

    Good action film, though Arnold tries a little too hard.

    This is a decent action sci-fi adventure movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Basically about clones and and a conspiracy about world domination. What else would you use clones for? Overall this is a solid film that is full of action and fight sequences and explosions. Arnold i...( read more)s solid as the lead and the story was entertaining. Arnold has made better action sci-fi movies but this was still good for a watch. Check it out if you like Arnold movies.
