KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

theromanempire-1 I really can't explain why this film bombed in the box office with just 34 millions gross in USA and just 96 millions gross worldwide. I also can't explain why this film never took positive reviews from the critics and even from a lot of fans it's considered an average Arnold B-Movie when it's exactly the opposite. this film is not only an A grade movie but it's the best movie in years from this genre. I think it's even better than Arnold's masterpiece total recall. the reason is not only that it had a lot of action a great plot and twists but it's also brought the dilemma of where the human race is going if those clone experiments become reality in our lives. cloning is already happening today and this film foretold that some 20 years ago. it's a film which foretold the near future and it's considered an average film ? really ? this film should be re-released now and gross like a billion dollars. morals....all are tested in this film. personally I love all of Arnold's films but if I had to choose ONE film from him to have I would pick this one without a further thinking. one of the few films that gets from me not just an A grade but an A ++++++

Cheese Hoven This is a terrible film made worse by the fact that its underlying premise- illegal cloning- was actually strong. With a bit more effort this could have been in much the same league as Total Recall; indeed there is much about TSD which, intentionally I think, sets about to remind the viewer about that classic, but this is very much a pale imitation.The problem is that the main premise in presented in a confusing and incoherent way. There seems to be an element of consciousness transference about the cloning process. Although this is not usual with any known cloning process, it could be made to work if it were consistently applied. But it isn't. Some characters seem to be the same person reborn in a fresh body even though they clearly died (and make light of their deaths in not very convincing comedy) while others, such as Schwarzenegger and the baddie can exist in two bodies at the same time. How does this work exactly? This is indicative of the general sloppiness of modern Hollywood.The double dose of Arnie could have been fun but his acting is not up to the task and it comes across as particularly flat and wooden. The action scenes are ok but hardly great.All in all, a waste of good potential

NateWatchesCoolMovies The 6th Day is a brash, in your face sci fi actioner with some deft scientific notions that it plays around with in near satirical fashion. It chooses to shoot most of its scenes in my hometown of Vancouver, including a set piece atop the spiral shaped Vancouver Public Library tat sends sparks raining down into the streets and choppers spinning wildly to their demise. I love when films shoot here, because it gives my city an exciting chance to be a part of escapism, and it's amusing to watch them digitally maim all sorts of landmarks and then chuckle as I see them intact on my way to work the next day. Schwarzenegger, in one of his last great flicks before his deliberate hiatus (we shall not speak of the abomination that is Collateral Damage), plays Adam Gibson, a helicopter tour guide who has a strange blackout in mid flight while transporting the CEO of a swanky scientific corporation (slick Tony Goldwyn). He arrives back home to find a clone of himself living with his family, and things only get weirder from there. He has stumbled into the inner workings of extremely illegal experiments involving human replication, and Goldwyn & Co. are none too pleased about it. Goldwyn has secretly made human cloning an everyday thing for the company, hidden from the aging eyes of the moral upright doctor who founded the company (Robert Duvall). This is all enforced by a ruthless corporate thug for hire (Michael Rooker) and his foxy assistant (Sarah Wynter). Schwarzenegger is faced with the daunting task of taking down this un-sanctioned empire, reclaiming his family and blowing up some stuff along the way. It's a terrific flick, and Arnie gets to say the best line he's ever spoken, directed at Goldwyn, which I won't spoil here but it's pure gold. Goldwyn is hateable and malicious, the horrific third act prosthetics fitting him like a slimy glove. Duvall strikes a noble chord and almost seems to have wandered in from a more serious film. Rooker is intense, evil and scene stealing as always. Watch for Wendy Crewson, Michael Rapaport and Terry Crews as well. In a movie so committed to the trademark Ahnuld fireworks, it's cool to get a whiff of actual thought provoking, Asimov-esque intrigue with the cloning, a concept which is fully utilized and really a lot of fun here.

Dalbert Pringle In this $82 million, "sooner-than-you-think", Sci-Fi yarn about human cloning, neither fantastic stunts nor expensive visual effects could ever save this utter mess from being reduced to the level of a predictable and decidedly confused "cat & mouse" snore-fest.In "The 6th Day" I quickly lost track of just how many people (especially those in high-ranking positions) were in on this whole cloning conspiracy. This business got so out of hand that, before long, it became quite laughable.And, since "The 6th Day's" storyline was dealing with the controversial subject matter of human DNA and cloning, I just knew that the topic concerning Christianity's "god" would inevitably enter into the equation, as well as the whole tired issue about "family values", too.And, speaking about Arnold Whats-his-name (who was paid $25 million to play the Adam Gibson character) - At 53, I thought the "Austrian Oak" was clearly too old for his part. And the utter nonsense of his character playing a game of deception with his own clone was just too-too stupid for words.It really killed me that in "The 6th Day" cloning was so far advanced that it only took the pressing of but a few buttons and, then, "Presto!", in a 2-hour time-frame, a person was entirely cloned, right down to their memories, their idiosyncrasies, etc., etc., etc..... (Sheesh! Spare me!)
