The 6th Day

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

David Hunter The Hollywood Reporter Jan 1, 2000
Has unexciting characters overall, and it relies on routine car chases and shootouts that would be even sillier without the booming soundtrack and special effects. Go to Full Review

While it understandably sidesteps truly thought-provoking aspects of cloning in favor of explosions and fistfights and one-liners, it mostly errs in the arena of editing. Go to Full Review

Finn P Jan 2, 2019 The Sixth Day, in my opinion was the film that signaled the end of Arnold's leading man days. Don't get me wrong this is a good movie and Arnie is great doing what he does so well but something's amiss. The Sixth Day contains its share of intriguing ideas and does more than merely pay lip service to them. The movie raises a lot of legitimate questions about the ethics and philosophical ramifications of cloning. However, a strong backstory is not why people go to a Schwarzenegger film - they pay their hard-earned money to see the icon do what he does best: kick butt and kill the bad guys. He accomplishes both in The Sixth Day, but not with a great deal of panache. As an action film, this movie is more recycled than innovative or energetic. And, on those occasions when it tries to do something out-of-the-ordinary, its success is marginal. Regardless, go see this film if you have the chance, or you're a fan of Arnold. See more
Abraham W Dec 20, 2018 It's more 'I'll be crap' instead of 'I'll be back'.
Abraham L Sep 22, 2018 Passable Arnie action flick. Not Terminator or even Predator, but beats Commando! One of his last roles before becoming governor, this movie is a little nostalgic for being towards the end of the 80-90s Arnold movie train of cheeseball action flicks. Looking back from 20 years on, this movie is a bit dated, but some of the predictions were pretty well done, and some of the science was thought provoking, although maybe someone should have brought up the 'well if i die and replace myself with a clone, that is still NOT ME AND I AM STILL DEAD'. The alluded to it a bit when Drucker said 'Aren't you doing to wait until I am dead?' That was funny. Don't expect Oscars, but a decent popcorn movie. See more
Draco S Jan 8, 2018 As Arnie entered the new millennium he served up a cold rehash of one of his brighter days, namely Total Recall. This is a Total Recall for all the family. It is not a bad movie and for fans of Arnie there is enough going on here to keep you interested...but...you just feel if they went for a darker tone with more gory violence they would have a much better film. Arnie was reportedly paid 25m for this role, a more apt title would have been The Pay Day! See more
George R Aug 12, 2017 really cool idea for a movie. lots of cool concepts and futuristic predictions. the directions that the story took were frequently clever or interesting. this movie was also terrible. lots of old movie qualities, cheesiness, really dumb stuff that happens, plot holes. horrendous dialogue. the acting was terrible as was almost every casting decision. the guy who played the main villain was sooooo lame. that villain had potential. this whole movie could have been minorty-report-esque (about 3 viewings) SPOILERS i think i probably would have guessed that he was the clone based on my movie watching experience now, but i'm pretty sure back then that twist gave me the business.

Theodore G Jul 11, 2017 Le principal apport du 6th Day est que tout le monde semble acquis au fait que le film soit une grosse comédie d'action vaguement sci-fi. Aucune scène du film de Roger Spottiswoode est jouée au sérieux. Il avait matière à faire de ce film une réflexion sur les clones et la course à l'armement, mais ici, on est ici pour voir Schwarzenegger défoncer Terry Crews, Michael Rooker et sa horde, tout en riant. Spottiswoode y arrive presque, mais son film dure malheureusement 2 heures, clairement une demi-heure de trop. Si le film ne perd jamais son sens de l'humour, il tombe parfois dans une vision du futur particulièrement ridicule (car trop proche, le film se passe en 2015) et se reposant bien trop sur des CGI absolument hideux. C'est dommage car Schwarzy se retrouve en double, que Tony Goldwyn (MICHAEL DRUCKER FFS) est un bon méchant et que l'idée générale est sympathique. Le twist marcherait presque s'il n'était téléphoné. The 6th Day est un film du dimanche soir de première catégorie, rien de plus. See more
