In this science-fiction thriller set in the very near future, DNA cloning has been perfected and has become an accepted part of everyday life -- cattle and fish are cloned for sale at the market, genetically engineered fruit and vegetables are found in most family's kitchens (nacho-flavored bananas, anyone?), and if your pet dies, you can even order a cloned replacement. But laws have been passed that strictly forbid the cloning of human beings. However, helicopter pilot Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who believes people should live and die the old-fashioned way, discovers that someone has been violating these regulations. After Adam luckily avoids being on a copter that crashes, he comes home to discover someone has duplicated him. Now Adam is on a mission to find out who cloned him and why, as he struggles to take back his life from a scientifically created impostor, his boss Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), and a pair of thugs (Sarah Wynter and Rod Rowland) who have been cloned into near-indestructibility. The 6th Day also stars Robert Duvall as cloning expert Griffin Weir, Michael Rooker as Drucker's right-hand man Robert Marshall, and Michael Rapaport as Adam's partner, Hank Morgan. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    sure it was cheesy, corney, and based on junk science. If you don't take it too seriously, it's pretty fun. good action and looks great on blu-ray

    Wow, I was shocked to realize after the movie that this was made only in 2000. When you watch it you get the feeling it was from at least the early 90's. There were definitely some very interesting ideas brought out, physically whether such a thing could ever be done and all the moral issues that follow it. But, it wasn't preachy at all. It had tons of action, and it holds your interest. I think the fact that some of the ideas were so far out, and it made me think it was done many years ago, is probably why it was just OK with me. I do recommend it. It's definitely worth a watch!

    This movie was so, so cheesy! Another one of those 90's cheeseball action movies with psuedo-science, like "Face/Off." In the 2010's, cloning is both common and controversial and the company that does this now wants to cross the ethical borderlines and clone humans, starting with Arnold's character. The movie CONSTANTLY reminds us that this is the "future" though, with things like Laser guns, Hologram girlfriends that react to real people accordingly, remote-operated air vehicles, and computers (not microchips, computers) in EVERY thing! Even football helmets and fridges. Oh, and the XFL still exists. At least they got touch-screen computers and GPS, right. What's even more ridiculous is it's supposed to take place only 10 to 15 years from the then-present (2000), which would be... TODAY! Overall, it was so corny and unrealistic, I enjoyed it on some minute level. Definitely not a movie you go into bringing logic with you.
