I don't know what's worse, Schwarzenegger's acting or the dialogue and plot, so I'll just call it a tie.

I love Arnold, but this movie was so bad. The best part were the AI/tech jokes and Tony Goldwyn's acting. Overall, there is not good enough things to make it at least a bit enjoyable.

very good action, acting could've been better, and sometimes the story made little sense but still great movie

Watched it again and thought it was a decent Arnie vehicle with a fairly good plot. Nothing to write home about but worth a watch if only for some of the near future ‘tech’ on show, my favourite being the UI for the driverless cars

Ey, it's a nice, really decent, enjoyable action movie by our dearest Arnold!! Really worth it on a a sunday rainy afternoon.

Problematic margins over script and visually executed focus ridiculing its own ideas, the intrigue solely lies on the story reclaiming one’s stolen life in which Schwarzeneggar decently performed with heart and flexible wit during captivating action sequences. (B)

Probably too hard to understand for many. Good action and noir enough to scare basic audience

2000's 'The Sixth Day' saw Arnold Schwarzenegger return for another sci-fi romp. SYNOPSIS: 'A man meets a clone of himself and stumbles into a grand conspiracy about clones taking over the world.' Surprisingly this is actually a decent Schwarzenegger film and probably in his upper echelon of movies. Clearly, it's not another 'The Terminator' film but the premise is really interesting, and quite disturbing. The film ticks a lot of boxes in terms of sci-fi films but it is very formulaic, especially for Arnie. He gets all of his lines in as you'd totally expect. It's a watchable action sci-fi with some thoughtful futuristic touches and as mentioned, makes a stab at grappling with larger, more important, issues. A solid film. 6/10

I'll never fully understand why this film doesn't get the love it deserves, in a time where original films not based on sequels or books or ancient IP's or bloody comic books!!! I crave movies like this, it's not an Oscar winner but it definitely what movies should be… entertaining!!! (Also, if anyone says "it's based on the bible, I'm coming after ya)

It's weird, even for an oldie. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays it too close to home in this sci-fi movie that sticks too closely to its genre's formula and ends up being predictable many times.

It's a good dystopian film. Totally believable now that something like this could actually happen.

OK, so I have heard of this one so I thought I was gonna check it out and I enjoyed it but not one of the best films I've seen but it does has some awesome action but not on the high note. Let me explain: On the 6th day, God created man (as you can tell by the tagline). "God created man in His own image, and behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Cloning humans and animals are acceptable. However, cloning is illegal and forbidden now. Adam Gibson played by Arnold Schwarzenegger is going on a skiing trip with his friend, Hank played by Michael Rapaport, then he goes to the "RePet" store not only to get Oliver cloned 'cause he died but to get a SimPal doll named Cindy for her daughter. When Adam got home, he discovers that not only Oliver was cloned but much worse, Adam himself was cloned and he's with his family. Four Replacement Technologies security agents arrive to kill him but he escapes, stole his cadillac and the chase is on. When those bad guys are dead they get cloned and if they see him with his family, they'll be killed. So now it's up to Adam to clear his name, protect his family and defeat the cloning baddies. Okay, okay, okay, so I have to get to the point where I share my opinion on The 6th Day. This is truly a generic, generic action film but it is enjoyable for the most part. The concept of this is pure genius and intriguing but disturbing, no way! But it was poorly executed by it's cheesiness and bad acting. Don't get me wrong, what's really surprising is that two Arnold Schwarzenegger's met together and now they team up to stop the cloning. I saw the commercials of "RePet" from the Special Features. Two of them to be exact. I think the reason for this is because they wanted to be in the film for the "RePet" store scene. I will say for one thing that Tony Goldwyn was such a letdown in this film. Really hated his character, didn't really represent anything and overall his character is quite boring and what I found out is that he's been dead for years and now he's being cloned. This would've been an awesome film if it weren't for the poor acting from both especially from Arnold Schwarzenegger and the clone and the cheesy dialogue but it does have some thought-provoking ideas with the illegal cloning. Gee, I wish smoking can be illegal so that people don't get cancer. Don't expect too much from this movie, it wasn't anything special but it was enjoyable for what it is. I don't hate it, I liked it for what it was, it was an okay film. Not one of Arnold's best and not as good as one of his previous films in the past.

Just an average Arnold movie, but I'll give it an extra half star for the plot, human cloning. However, being able to copy the contents of the brain and download it into the clone is a bit much. Interesting question brought up, how do you know if you are the clone or the original?

I love the idea of the movie but I makes me think of where I want to go with this. I would say it's fun but could dig a lot deeper.

In the near future, animal cloning has become routine, but human cloning is prohibited by so-called "Sixth Day" laws. Charter pilot Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is hired for a snowboarding excursion by Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), billionaire owner of cloning corporation Replacement Technologies, who requires him to undergo a seemingly routine drug test. When Adam's wife informs him that their daughter's dog has died, he reluctantly visits one of Drucker's "RePet" cloning stores, while his partner Hank Morgan (Michael Rapaport) poses as Adam and flies Drucker to the mountains, where they are killed by an assassin, Tripp. Buying a life-size animatronic "SimPal" doll for his daughter instead, Adam returns home to discover a clone of himself with his family. Before he can intervene, Adam is abducted by Robert Marshall (Michael Rooker), Drucker's head of security, and his agents Talia, Vincent, and Wiley. Adam escapes, killing Talia and Wiley, and goes to the police but is believed to be an escaped mental patient. Drucker, somehow alive, assures reporters that he does not intend to have the Sixth Day laws repealed. However, he and his chief scientist, Dr. Griffin Weir (Robert Duvall), have already perfected illegal human cloning, and revive clones of Talia and Wiley. Adam breaks out of the police station and is forced to kill Wiley again, before finding Hank at his apartment, still alive. He brings Hank to his house and contemplates killing his clone, but Marshall and Talia arrive, forcing Adam to pose as his clone to send them away... Rotten Tomatoes consensus reads: "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." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave The 6th Day three out of four stars, remarking that it is not in the same league as Total Recall and Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but that it nevertheless qualifies as a serious science fiction film. He also found problems with the cloning as depicted in the film, saying that "[his] problem with both processes is that while the resulting clone ... might know everything I know ... I myself would still be over here in the old container." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times disliked the generic appearance of the film and Schwarzenegger's typecasting as an action hero. He gave the film two out of five stars. Todd McCarthy of Variety called it: "A mostly standard-issue latter-day Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner spiked with a creepily plausible cloning angle." (via Wikipedia) "The 6th Day" came out when Arnold Schwarzenegger´s career had taken a bit of a blow after "Batman & Robin" and "End of Days". The foundation of the story concerning cloning has of course an interesting premise, however the rest is truly forgettable as the direction is sloppy from Roger Spottiswoode, the acting is mediocre, the action sequences semi poor and Arnold Schwarzenegger is clearly not at his best. Plus the great Robert Duvall is wasted as Dr. Griffin Weir. "The 6th Day" is just forgettable.

Not one of the better Schwarzenegger movies, but as they say, it passed the time and held my interest while I was watching it. The plot was pretty thin. There was a pretty villain girl. That's about it.

I really enjoyed this. Schwarzenegger plays the part really well. There's a good supporting cast, a great concept script, some very well done special effects, neat touches and plenty of action scenes. Not remembered generally as one the Austrian Oaks best films but I personally found it to be a very satisfying action sci-fi.

With all the predictions about the future that this film makes, the most accurate turned out to be a fridge that can tell you when you're out of milk. In a world of interesting dystopian sci-fi film and speculation about artificial life, The 6th Day doesn't ask many heavy questions and uses the clone angle for a relatively predictable Arnie action romp, one-liners and all. As a bit of retrofuturistic fun, the film certainly didn't shy away from getting a bit creative; director Roger Spottiswoode takes the gadgets associated with work like Tomorrow Never Dies and cranks them to 11 with the adolescent target audience - Schwarzenegger is Adam Gibson, a futuristic snowboard guide who also flies helicopters remotely, which seems like something you would find in a crayon drawing attached to a fridge. The practical effects and propwork are surprisingly good, but the tension isn't kept high enough for an action film; there seems to be the assumption that the film can rely on a mix of its premise and Arnie's charm, but he was clearly past his prime as a star and the script doesn't compensate for some mediocre performances by a recognizable cast (which includes Michael Rooker, Terry Crewes, and Robert Duvall). One interesting moment that the writers do pull off is a bit of poetic justice where the dying big bad has his clothes taken from his newborn clone, becoming a victim of his own callousness, but it's quickly followed by a generic fistfight and a couple one-liners. The action quote of the film to look out for is: "My daughter is right inside that door. Now I don't want to expose her to any graphic violence, she really gets enough of that from the media." There is a 'futuristic' robot doll that Arnie buys for his daughter that is legitimately terrifying. (2/5)

Total Recall it’s not but it’s still great fun with a fine cast.

A really underrated gem that encapsulates the best of the late 90s. Inspired by Dolly the sheep that was successfully cloned, This movie takes place in a future that allowed human experimentation & cloning. This is a mind bending who dunnit that should not be passed on.
