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.
To the movie's…

part of midnight movie madness
Ok, so this is what you get when you watch films sleep drunk.
Thought this was about clowning.
Thought it was one of Ahnold's lost comedies or something.
Well, actually, that isn't too far from the truth......
Laughably bad.

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.

"You should clone yourself while you're still alive so you can go fuck yourself!"

At one point during the film, Arnold (one of the two) states "You should clone yourself while you're still alive. So you can go f**k yourself!" Poetry. As I said in the introduction, without Arnold this premise doesn't work. Arnold is cloned, they run amuck at first against each other, but then team up for the climactic action finale... come on, like I said this would never work with literally anybody else. But with Arnold? Awesome.

On the surface this is a mediocre Arnie actioner but I love it. A bit of backstory: this was the first movie I rented with my own account at BlockBuster Video.
It has a ton of nifty ideas that address the ethical issues that come with cloning and lots of prescient technology. The special effects are still surprisingly good, with a variety of practical stunts and passable CGI. The violence and cauterized gore is enjoyable while the score is delightfully sci-fi.
The dialogue is cringeworthy and the cast is a mixed bag outside of Arnie, Bobby Duvs and Tony G aka the big bad from Ghost.
Your mileage may vary here but I still enjoy the hell out of The 6th Day as much as I do End of Days.

Only thing better than Arnold in a sci-fi flick is two Arnolds in a sci-fi flick. This is more underrated than it should be.
-
A poorly-made film filled with amazing ideas and solid performances from a murderer's row of actors. For every soulful dialogue from Robert Duvall or propulsive exchange between Arnold and Michael Rooker, there is a PowerPoint-level transition and an ugly cut.
