Product Description:
IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE WHEN CLONING PLANTS, PETS, ANDHUMAN ORGANS IS ACCPETED, A SINISTER CORPORATION HAS BEGUNILLEGALLY DUPLICATING ENTIRE HUMAN BEINGS. THEY MISTAKENLYCLONE THE WRONG MAN: A MAN WHO IS NOW THE ONLY ONE WITH THE POWER TO EXPOSE THEIR EVIL.
Amazon.com:
For a movie about cloning, it's only appropriate that The 6th Day, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is instilled with a strong sense of déjà vu, namely from Arnold's previous "Who am I?" outing, Total Recall. In that movie, Arnold is a normal Joe who discovers that his entire reality has been co-opted by an evil conspiracy, and has to take his life back by force. The same premise applies here for Roger Spottiswoode's clever if overlong sci-fi thriller--Arnold thinks he's a regular guy leading a regular life, until a twist of fate puts him on the lam from a vast conspiracy that's replaced him with a clone. While he's trying to evade the evil genetics corporation--and its trendy, deadly, clone-friendly assassins (who don't care how many times they're killed: there's more where that came from)--his double is snuggling at home with his wife and daughter. And new legislation outlaws the existence of human clones, so somebody's got to go. But who gets to be live and who gets to be the dead Memorex man?
Why does said genetics corporation want to clone people? How does the kindly scientist (Robert Duvall) fit in? What's the mystery behind the slick billionaire (Tony Goldwyn) who runs everything? It's all kind of irrelevant in the end, as long as it provides a chance for Arnold to indulge in some energetic mayhem and explosive action. What distinguishes The 6th Day is its sneaky, humorous--and chilling--look at the near future, taking everyday technological advances and turning them up just a couple notches, envisioning an era with cloned pets, virtual girlfriends, and computers running most everything, from the refrigerator to your car. Arnold is supposed to be a throwback to the "real" world--you can tell because he cherishes his vintage, navigation-system-free Cadillac--but as usual, he just brings his behemoth presence to the role and not much else. Still, he's a friendly enough hero, and he rolls with the punches (literally) all the way through to the end. Too bad the film overstays its welcome by about half an hour--a little shorter and it could have been a breezy sci-fi/action romp. With scene stealers Michael Rooker, Sarah Wynter, and Rod Rowland as the trio of cloned assassins who always come back--again and again. --Mark Englehart

`The 6th Day' is a little long, and it has been done better since (both `Minority Report' and `The Island' took aspects of this film and embellished them to far greater and more effective heights) but in the end, if you are looking for an engaging and exciting popcorn muncher, this film will do the trick.
The film feels very familiar, even back upon its release. Arnold plays a `regular guy' (if that is possible) who finds himself trying to take back his life after he is cloned and his ... Read More

Another of 'Arnuld's' thick, lispy
heavily Austrian accented Sci-Fi
flicks that takes a stab at more
Pro-Evolution gibberish. Note that
this movie was made in 2000, it already
was gabbering about the upcoming (flop)
XFL. A good cast is sort of wasted in
this coputer generated film. Humour
helps but like Commando, not enough.
Still I can't believe this Masonic
clown became 'The Gov.' of California.
But then, it is the land of fruits and ... Read More

A good movie with very sharp visuals and excellent surround sound, this was another entertaining Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle. The action isn't overdone and the humor is subtle. It also looks super on Blu-Ray. You can't say that on every high-def disc, but this is a good one (and at a good price.)
"To clone human beings or not to clone" is the question here and the topic of the movie. For one of the few times in film history, Hollywood actually gives the right moral message.

The later films schwarzenneger made towards the end of his acting career prior to becoming Governor of California werent too bad, I mean they were no Terminator or Predator, but they were watchable. The 6th day had some great effects and action and some kind of moral story about the dangers of human cloning in the future, but again pretty mediocre. As i've said before in prior Arnold movie reviews if you're a Schwarzenneger fan as i am and want to complete your Arnold collection, get it, if not you can ... Read More

"The 6th Day" is worth owning. It's a great non-stop action sci-fi thriller. Arnold is convincing as a hero with a heart. He loves his family and will go to any lengths to keep them. If you like movies about cloning, this film is a definite must see.
