Watch The 6th Day For Free

Waste of time

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Masterpiece!

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

In the near future, cloning technology is highly developed and the corporation Replacement Technologies owned by the wealthy Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn) is responsible for cloning pets in RePet shops. However there is a law called Sixth Day that prohibits human cloning and many groups and movements that are against any type of cloning. When Drucker needs to travel to a remote location, he hires the professional helicopter pilots Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his friend Hank Morgan (Michael Rapaport), requesting an eye test from them first. However Hamk flies since it is Adam's birthday; the family dog has just died and he is thinking about the possibility of cloning the animal for his daughter. Adam decides to by a doll called Cindy instead but when he arrives home, he finds that Oliver and he have been cloned. Further, he is hunted down by four professional killers and he needs to flee. What happened to Adam and why was he cloned?"The 6th Day" is a thoughtful and full of action sci-fi from the beginning of this century. Possible consequences of cloning human beings are shown through the family man Adam Gibson performed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in a double role. The plot has funny moments, lots of action and excellent cast. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O 6º Dia" ("The 6th Day")

There isn't really much to be said about this late entry in the Arnold Schwarzenegger series. Here, or rather in the future, he is a happily married man who runs a charter tour service to snowy mountaintops. This kind of opening gives us a chance to goggle at some spectacular scenery and some equally stupendous visual effects. Watch as a helicopter folds its blades back into wings and turns into a metasonic racer twisting and squeezing through the same narrow rocky canyons that the fighters did in "Star Wars." A scurrilous agency has been covertly gathering DNA and cloning people, including Arnold, who sees his surprise birthday party turn into a REAL surprise.Arnold finds that he's being stalked so that he can be offed and his clone take his place, as anybody would. Bodies are flung around with abandon. Ray guns leave tunnels through human torsos.If you enjoy Arnold, you'll enjoy this iteration of his image twice as much because there are two of them. It must be said, though, that as an actor Arnold has the subtlety of a bird dog, maybe a pointer. And this is his worst performance as far as I can recall. The wisecracks are fewer and he seems to be lifting barbells while he waits for the check to be cut.

The 6th Day (2000): Dir: Roger Spottiswoode / Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Duvall, Michael Rapaport, Michael Rooker, Wendy Crewson: What the sixth day indicates I am not sure but claims are that it indicates that God created man on day sixth. Then someone decided to create this film, which has the idea but lacks the payoff. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a helicopter pilot in the future who arrives home only to discover a clone of himself celebrating his birthday with his family. What is truly interesting is that it is the clone doing the observing but doesn't realize that he is a clone. Robert Duvall plays a doctor who is trying to legally clone people since his wife is dying. Headquarters have already cloned assassins sent to kill him. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode who also made the James Bond action film Tomorrow Never Dies. Schwarzenegger appears to be having fun with duo roles. There is a scene where the clone anticipates killing the real version but cannot bring himself to do it. Duvall as the doctor is interesting because his wife is dying yet she doesn't desire to be cloned. Michael Rapaport as Schwarzenegger's partner has moments of comic relief but the role is cardboard. Michael Rooker is also featured as a villain. Wendy Crewson plays Schwarzenegger's wife who isn't in on the situation. Well made action film about the value of life. Score: 7 / 10

Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) heads to work one day and on his return from work he discovers a clone of himself celebrating his birthday with his family. Cloning of humans is illegal and, for Gibson, discovering his clone is potentially bad news for both Gibson and his family as it means that the secret that they're trying to protect could end up becoming common knowledge. The organisation responsible for cloning Gibson will do everything in their power to protect their secret even if it means killing Gibson and his family.As a concept, this is very interesting and it's the sort of film that provides you with a nice piece of escapism. The subject matter of cloning humans is ripe for all kinds of social commentary - would you want another chance at living again after you've died or would you just rather die naturally and let your loved ones mourn you and leave your memories with them? Although the cloning aspect is a forerunner for the film I did like the idea that one aspect of the film showed someone who didn't want to be cloned - yes it's too far-fetched to be taken seriously (it's science fiction after all), but it does make you think whilst the film is running.As with most Arnie films, this one is very entertaining and lots of fun. Hank and his virtual girlfriend, the virtual lawyer and the virtual psychiatrist - all these characters were only in the film for a short period of time, but all of them were very memorable and very funny. I think the funniest part of the film was when Gibson was trying to ring the police and he kept being given lots of options before he could be connected to the police. This may have been mildly amusing back in 2000, but in 2015 when virtually every number that you ring now gives you these irritating options before you can actually speak to a person ultimately made that scene incredibly funny. When the two 'Arnies' cross paths later in the film these scenes also provide for some very funny exchanges. Arnie doesn't have quite as many 'one liners' as in previous outings, but we're treated to a great one towards the end of the film.As much as I enjoyed this film I did find one or two weaknesses; I understand that the idea of cloning animals was referenced in the film because it's legal to clone animals, but illegal to clone humans. However, I felt it would have been better if the writers had just made it about cloning humans. The idea of cloning animals just isn't that interesting and the fact that it seemed important at the start and then was ignored for the rest of the film also seemed a little bit strange. I also felt the finale was a little over-blown and ran on for too long, but these are minor issues.Despite some minor issues with the plotting, The 6th Day is an entertaining, fun and mostly thought-provoking film that is well worth watching. Whilst it doesn't quite reach the greatness of Total Recall (Arnie's other big sci-fi film) it's still a very good film that fans of Arnie and fans of sci-fi will not be disappointed with.
