What a surprise! Must have missed this or it bombed at the box office. However watching this 18 year old movie (made in 2000), it seems to have stood the test of time. Much of the set designs, costumes and even self driving Chevy's and Drone style Helicopters! Super forward thinking concepts. It felt up to date and still relevant. Fun surprise of a flick. It has ages well like a good wine. 8 stars from me, kept our rapt attention. Well balanced and believeable sci fi, great sets, good soundtrack and lots of fun....WITHOUT ZOMBIES! LOL
In an Utopian nearly future , cloning is a habitual exercise, fish, dogs,animals and food can be cloned, but no human genre, being illegal and pursued. When Adam Gibson(Arnold Schwarzenegger, also producer) goes to home after his job as helicopters pilot along with his friend Hank(Michael Rapaport) he encounters a clone has replaced him.Then he's chased by a murderers group(Michael Rooker, Sara Wynter, Terry Crews). He flees and must to solve the weird happenings from the creator of the clones, Michael Drucken(Tony Goldwyn), whose experiments is working Dr. Griffin(Robert Duvall).
This is a gripping sci-fi story plenty of action, thrills, suspense,tension, plot-twists and quite entertaining. It's a clichéd thriller with noisy and agreeable fun . It builds gradually with an interesting premise leading an impressive and breathtaking highlights, thanks to involving plot is interesting enough to keep the movie going on. Action set pieces are well made and amusingly mixed with humor, the picture delivers just what we have come expecting.It's one of the best of those years generally inappropriate crop of blockbusters, but this one contains lots of action and enjoyable humor. A sympathetic and as corpulent as always, Arnold Schwarzenegger as the good father of family plunged into a sinister scenery he tries to find out but doesn't understand. Adequate musical score fitting perfectly to action by Trevor Rabin and colorful cinematography by Pierre Mignot.The motion picture is acceptably directed by Robert Spottiswoode. He's a successful director from TV movies and cinema, as terror genre(Terror train), adventures(Air America,Shoot to kill),drama(Children of Hang Shi), James Bond film(Tomorrow never dies), and his best movie is ¨Under fire¨.Rating: Passable and good fun film. The pic will like to California governor's fans

"The 6th Day" marks the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to a role that seems to be second nature to him: action. This time there is an added twist; there is actually a decent plot attached to it.
"The 6th Day" revolves around a man who has been cloned and ends up on the run from a corporation who wants him dead. Arnold is this man who has lost his family, life and taking on the corporation who took it from him. All the while, Arnold is searching within himself to find a way to get his family back.
The 6th Day" boasts a cast that includes Robert Duvall, Michael Rooker, Tony Goldwyn and Sarah Wynters. I knew the second I saw these names flash across the screen I was in for a real treat.
The best thing about "The 6th Day" is the performance of Schwarzenegger because he is not only an action star in this film but a dramatic actor as he combines these two talents to pull off one of his better performances of his career.
Arnold did not make this film a hit by himself, he had a little help from his friends. From Robert Duvall who played the doctor who performed the cloning operations to Michael Rooker, who was one evil henchmen with his menacing attitude and presence "The 6th Day" is one great film to see.
I enjoyed how the plot of film didn't rely solely on the action sequences. Though, the action is fine and dandy; I believe that a film needs more than just action and "The 6th Day" has it.
"The 6th Day" is one of the best Arnold films I've seen including the "Terminator" series. It is filled with action, twists, turns, edge of your seat suspense and drama that will appeal to all movie fans of every age.

Not sure why this excellent and thought provoking Arnie sci fi film is rated so low. It has all the elements of a darn good film and is pulled off quite well. Arnie is likeable as usual and this time he is supported by a strong cast. The villain Michael Drucker is esp good by Tony Goldwyn. I rate it high on the list of Schwarzenegger sci fi flicks. An easy 8.

Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1 min) The intro to the film gives us a history of breakthroughs in cloning tech. There is an entry on the cloning of a sheep, which is credited to "Two pioneering scientists Drs. Lerrad Yarg and Phillip Slanigan, both of the Rosaritio Institute." In real life, the two pioneering scientists were Keith Campbell and Ian Wilmut, of the Roslin Institute in Scotland. The year was 1996, not 1997. The name of the sheep, 'Dolly', is correct. Dolly lived until 2003, having been euthanized due to lung disease and severe arthritis, which were said to be unrelated to the cloning process.
- Goofs(at around 1h 26 mins) When Adam lands his whisper craft on the roof of the building, a security guard comes out to stop him. Adam provides his clearance to be there by presenting him with the contract he signed earlier in the movie. When the guard looks at it, you can clearly see that none of the lines are filled out.
- Quotes
Adam Gibson: [1:33:22] If you really believe that then you should clone yourself while you're still alive.
Drucker: Why is that? So I can understand your unique perspective?
Adam Gibson: No. So you can go fuck yourself!
- Crazy creditsOn the Region 1 DVD release, in "The Future Is Coming" making-of featurette, a member of the production crew (Nancy Tate) is credited as a "Cloned Consultant".
- Alternate versionsOn the Region 6 China DVD by Excel Media, the flirting scene is cut.
