Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
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
Robert J. Maxwell 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.
gridoon2018 "The 6th Day" is a rarity: an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle with a plot (with a great reversal in the middle), a weighty subject matter, and something to think about. Even the villain is not just a random psychopath - he has a rationale to his actions. The film is well-designed (the world it creates is both recognizable and slightly futuristic), and sometimes very funny ("loading virtual psychiatrist!"). And how about Robert Duvall's performance - certainly of a higher caliber than we're used to in an Arnold film. It's not flawless: it's too long, some of Roger Spottiswoode's directorial effects are annoying, and the helicopter climax looks very bad! But as Arnold's movies go, it's among his better ones. *** out of 4.
ivo-cobra8 The 6th Day (2000) is a sci-fi action flick from Arnold Schwarzenegger. I saw this film in The theater after new year in 2001 when it was released by us in Slovenia. It was the first Schwarzenegger movie I ever saw in the theater before. Later in 2003 I went watching Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in summer August (2003). Those two film were the only Schwarzenegger films I have actually saw! And I love both of them, I even remember how this film was a huge hit in 2001, I kept seeing a VHS cover in the video rent store, I even saw the poster that time. So the film was a hit back than in 2001 when it was released and come to us in the cinema. What can I say it is one of my favorite Schwarzenegger action flicks. This film compared to Terminator: Genysys, Maggie, Sabotage and The Expendables 3 it is a much, much better improvement action futuristic flick than all the new movies I just counted Schwarzenegger did. This movie is awesome if you like near future action movies, than this is the movie for you. The 6th Day is good, I liked the action bits and the premise is actually quite interesting. It does follow the same old script tactics and the performances are... lets say uninspired. This was definitely a movie using Arnold's action star status for it's gain, pushing every little Arnold trait to the limit especially cheesy punch lines but this is a very enjoyable and cool action flick but it ain't T2. The movie works well for Arnold's action fans. A story premise that fits where technology was and is today. Cloning humans would represent a real danger but it also has moral issues to go with it. Robert Duvall's acting weight helps boost this movie along with Michael Rooker and Tony Goldwyn as the bad guys and this one is a winner. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a great job and he tried very hard acting in this one with not so much action as most Arnold films. Movie does a great job into deep details of cloning, too bad they wear having those high tech stuff. This film and has a good scenes, great action and the dialogue is funny. The scene when Arnold says when I told you to go screw yourself I didn't mean take it literally. This film is kind of science VS religion because the people who killed Tony Goldwyn's character religious people are against cloning because it is man playing God. I know the bad guys have their reasons for not wanting the business to be shut down if they are found out that they are clones, but in my opinion I think maybe they were afraid of death and want to use cloning as a way to cheat it and not die permanently, but that is just my opinion. I think the rest of the cast did a pretty good job, Michael Rapaport was awesome as Adam's friend, Sarah Wynter did a great job performance of her character Talia Elsworth as the bad guy and she acted very well. I remember Sarah Wynter from 24 (2001) TV series she play Kate Warner in Season 2. The second Season of 24 was always my favorite season of the show. She did made a brief cameo scene in Season 3 episode Day 3: 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.. Gosh today I don't see her in any famous roles or in movies at all. Where did this world come to? from 2000 - 2011 years for me were awesome. Today movies are really awful made. I am glad I see this movie in theaters it is my favorite film and I love it to death! Director Roger Spottiswoode (Tomorrow Never Dies, Noriega) creates a world of the very near future in which cattle, fish, and even the family pet can be cloned. But cloning humans is illegal - that is until family man Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger) comes home from work one day to find a clone has replaced him. Taken from his family and plunged into a sinister world he doesn't understand, Gibson must not only save himself from the assassins who must destroy him to protect their secret, but uncover who and what is behind the horrible things happening to him. The 6th Day is the story of Gibson's struggle to reclaim his life and his family.Director Roger Spottiswoode directed another film that I love 007 flick Tomorrow Never Dies another underrated Bond film and action adventure Shoot to Kill (1988) with Sidney Poitier. I love this underrated action sci-fi Schwarzenegger flick a 7.5/10 it does not deserve the hate or been bashed for it.
