Amazon.com:
For a movie about cloning, it's only appropriate that The 6th Day, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is instilled with a strong sense of déjà vu, namely from Arnold's previous 'Who am I?' outing, Total Recall. In that movie, Arnold is a normal Joe who discovers that his entire reality has been co-opted by an evil conspiracy, and has to take his life back by force. The same premise applies here for Roger Spottiswoode's clever if overlong sci-fi thriller--Arnold thinks he's a regular guy leading a regular life, until a twist of fate puts him on the lam from a vast conspiracy that's replaced him with a clone. While he's trying to evade the evil genetics corporation--and its trendy, deadly, clone-friendly assassins (who don't care how many times they're killed: there's more where that came from)--his double is snuggling at home with his wife and daughter. And new legislation outlaws the existence of human clones, so somebody's got to go. But who gets to be live and who gets to be the dead Memorex man?
Why does said genetics corporation want to clone people? How does the kindly scientist (Robert Duvall) fit in? What's the mystery behind the slick billionaire (Tony Goldwyn) who runs everything? It's all kind of irrelevant in the end, as long as it provides a chance for Arnold to indulge in some energetic mayhem and explosive action. What distinguishes The 6th Day is its sneaky, humorous--and chilling--look at the near future, taking everyday technological advances and turning them up just a couple notches, envisioning an era with cloned pets, virtual girlfriends, and computers running most everything, from the refrigerator to your car. Arnold is supposed to be a throwback to the 'real' world--you can tell because he cherishes his vintage, navigation-system-free Cadillac--but as usual, he just brings his behemoth presence to the role and not much else. Still, he's a friendly enough hero, and he rolls with the punches (literally) all the way through to the end. Too bad the film overstays its welcome by about half an hour--a little shorter and it could have been a breezy sci-fi/action romp. With scene stealers Michael Rooker, Sarah Wynter, and Rod Rowland as the trio of cloned assassins who always come back--again and again. --Mark Englehart

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Arnold x 2
Not a masterpiece, but action with Arnold Schwarzenegger is never boring, and in this flick it is two of him. In addition it is a lot of interesting stuff in the bonus disc. A must have for Arnold fans. Well worth the money.
Rating:  - Fast Action Film That Is NO Clone Of "Total Recall"
This review is for "The 6th Day" (Special Edition) DVD Release Date: 2002
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE AGAIN AMAZON HAS LUMPED REVIEWS FOR ALL VERSIONS OF "The 6th Day," THUS DENIGRATING THIS DVD VERSION!!!
I find it completely incomprehensible that viewers actually conceive of "The 6th Day" as a remake or some other incarnation of "Total Recall." The premise of both movies is completely different. The only commonality I find in the two movies is they are both excellent science fiction ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent tranfer to DVD
This review deals with the picture and sound quality only. Read other reviews for the plot, acting, etc. "The Sixth Day" picture and sound quality are perfect. With an anamorphic widescreen format, the image is nearly high definition quality. The sound is quite good also because it was remastered. Viewed on a 46-inch Samsung high defintion LCD TV (and played on a Toshiba 1080p HD DVD player), the picture and sound are simply stunning!

The Sixth Day DVD
The Sixth Day is A Science Fiction movie about a man who is unknowingly cloned. Arnold Swarzenner is the protagonist, he must prove that he's the real one while, at the same time, battling against the organization that cloned him, they are out to shut him up. Plenty of action and thrills.
Recommended for both the Science Fiction fan and the Arnold Swarzennegger fan.

Rating: - An intelligent sci-fi action movie from your old pal Arnie
Adam Gibson is an average guy living in the near-future (2015 according to Schwarzenegger). It's a nice place to live in. Cars can drive themselves, holograms are commonplace, helicopters can turn into jets and pistols fire lasers. But the most important difference is the widespread use of cloning technology. If your pet dies why not get it cloned? It's mind can be uploaded into a computer chip as long as it's still fresh and then downloaded into the cloned body through the eyes. The pet's back, good ...
