Let's be honest, The 6th Day would like to believe its quite a clever cautionary tale about the perils of human cloning, of playing God, but the reality is that it's built around the gimmick of two Arnold Schwarzenegger's in one movie and being able to get away with it - surely an action junkie's special kind of dream? The only problem is that Roger Spottiswoode's film is so hokey, so cheesy, and so desperately trying to trick us into believing it's got something to say, that it rarely can escape the schlocky, B-movie dumb action theatrics that the script and direction often fall back on - yet unlike Arnie's best, it's not half as much fun.

Why I watched this one? When I saw this movie on the shelf at my local library...I was like...."I know I have seen this movie....but damn if I remember very little about the movie." So I decided to refresh the old memory and watch this one again.

What is this one about? Futuristic action about a man (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who meets a clone of himself and stumbles into a grand conspiracy about clones taking over the world.

My thoughts on this one. Wow this movie is already 14 years old. I think Arnold was looking for a Total Recall type movie...when he decided to make this one. The story could take place in the same universe as Total Recall.....but that…

The first 30-45 minutes of The 6th Day are pretty great; it’s goofy Schwarzenegger science fiction in the vein of Total Recall. It fails to live up to that film, one of Arnie’s career high marks, because of poor direction and diminishing returns on a premise promising at least double the normal allotment of Arnold Units (AU), the gold standard for the quantitative measurement of delirious action-movie madness. “Double,” because, you know, the cloning? Okay, you get it, sorry. So while Arnolds 1 and 2 have a few cute scenes, the potential for full-bore nuttiness is never fulfilled. The 6th Day needs more quick-zoom close-ups on Arnold(s)’s face(s), all screaming mouth(s) and bugged-out eyes(es). More screaming Arnolds in general.

Very low 3.
Don't remember how I watched this for the first time (maybe Blockbuster rental?) but I've had plenty of rewatches with this. Weird to be able to say that because we never have owned this movie. 😂 It's just on T.V. all the time. So yeah have nostalgia towards this.
The cast is as good as you expect with this type of movie. I think it's always fun to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger. I totally forgot Colin Cunningham was I this (love Falling Skies). I thought all the actors were fitting.
The music is fitting. Fits the early 00's music style. 😝
I think the action is very entertaining.
The cuts and and editing was not my style.
