Movie Info
In this science-fiction thriller set in the very near future, DNA cloning has been perfected and has become an accepted part of everyday life -- cattle and fish are cloned for sale at the market, genetically engineered fruit and vegetables are found in most family's kitchens (nacho-flavored bananas, anyone?), and if your pet dies, you can even order a cloned replacement. But laws have been passed that strictly forbid the cloning of human beings. However, helicopter pilot Adam Gibson (Arnold

The studios should enact their own '6th Day Law' prohibiting the carbon-copy duplication of elements from scenario to scenario.
Top CriticJoins the ever-growing membership of 2000's Gutless Endings Club.
A mostly standard-issue latter-day Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner.
The best Schwarzenegger movie in years.
Essentially Schwarzenegger Lite, definitely a new flavor -- but it still gets the job done. For lack of a better word, it's pleasing.
A clone itself, borrowing elements from Arnold's Total Recall plus a few ideas from Blade Runner and Face/Off, all of which are much better movies.
patented Schwarzenegger formula movie
A decent movie for teens, if they can endure it.
... 6th Day cannot match Schwzrzenegger's best action efforts, and the harder it tries, the more it sabotages its own best interests ...
In paying attention to potentially thought-provoking issues, the writers neglect basic storytelling.
...the Arnie spark just isn't there.
...Simply another fiery, loud shoot-em-up with overblown villains, over-the-top heroics, and lapses in simple logic.
A calculated but winning piece of back-to-basics entertainment... with two Arnolds for the price of one.
Schwarzenegger keeps the violence to a PG-13 level, though his idea of pacifism is to fire a million laser bolts instead of a million bullets.
A sublime premise for a movie turned into an unsurprising Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle.
Nem mesmo as cenas de ação conseguem empolgar...
A watchable action vehicle with some thoughtful futuristic touches and an attempt to grapple with larger issues.
Since it's not a very smart sci-fi film, we then hope for a fun sci-fi film.... But there's not much fun here.
How come these bad guys have such bad aim? Does everybody in real life say something funny after they kill a person? Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Though hardly on the level of great science fiction, it manages to produce an entertaining two hours...something very few of [Schwarzenegger's] recent films can claim.
A few clever ideas buried under tons of stupidity.
This is the cyberpunk movie I wished would have come out in the early 90's, a kind of grandchild of Blade Runner and Total Recall.
...filled with a lot of movement and noise but little actual excitement or suspense...a great-looking, quasi sci-fi movie with not a lot actually going on.
As a Schwarzenegger vehicle, it's sub-par...
Packed with enervating action sequences and inexplicable scripting decisions.
