This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Blistering performances.
In the near future, pilot Adam finds he has been cloned and the people responsible are looking to kill him. Solving the puzzle and lots of action follow.If Arnold Schwarzenegger is the top box office draw in the work (in 2000), then a film featuring 2 Arnies must be twice as good, right?Well, it's not bad. Its sci-fi plot serves as a satisfactory vehicle to hang lots of action sequences on, as well as the entertaining sight of Arnie meeting himself and acting surprised. Twice. At the same time.Tony Goldwyn is his usual slimy baddie, Robert Duvall is classy in a take-the-money-and-run kind of way, and Michael Rooker contributes a nasty piece of work.The science contains large chunks of utter nonsense, and contributes to the widespread misconception of armies of Hitlers - if you clone a human being, what you get is a baby, not a fully functioning adult with all the memories of its DNA source.But if you put your brain in neutral, then this is fun.
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 ++++++
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")
The 6th Day is another underrated Schwarzenegger movie (Last Action Hero, Eraser, Jingle All The Way, Terminator Genisys) The Acting is good, the direction is smart and the film has too much action and 2 Schwarzeneggers killing bad guys and throwing one liners the effects are good for a 2000 film. Tony Goldwyn is a really great bad guy the soundtrack is amazing and really touching at times. I think a 5.9 is a little harsh for this movie more like a 7 or a 7.5 at least. Arnold Schwarzenegger Fans and Sci-Fi fans will love this film is full of action and laughs and it has 2 Arnolds what else do you want? A 10 out of 10 for me loved it!!!
