Summary: Fast paced and intelligent
Review: A word of warning for those expecting an in yer face explosive action adventure such as Arnie would typically do, 6th Day veers more towards what I suppose we'd call a thriller with a sci-fi twist. You've already heard about the plot so I think what you really want to know is whether or not the movie is worth watching. I saw the movie trailer and wasnt convinced but I like Arnie movies so thought what the hell. I'm glad I bought it, because the movie is fast-paced and intelligent enough without hurting your brain, and its also funny. Certainly more family orientated than many other action movies and probably the better for it. I don't think its fair to say that Arnie is a bad actor in this. For once I forgot it was Arnie I was watching and just saw the character...which is what movies should be about, not the person playing the character but the character themselves. Well enough preaching...its a good movie, better than I thought it would be judging by the trailer. I'd recommend it if you liked movies like the Fugitive, Chain Reaction and Total Recall.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was more like the 7th......
Review: And on the 7th day God rested, right? Well, that's what happened to me while watching this movie. They try to sell you this sfx-crafted, explosion-overloaded, Schwarzanegger-acted,ridiculously-scripted piece of crap like a high quality movie. It's as good as Last Action Hero, if you liked that one, then you'll love this one!!! If I'm wrong you can kill me and clone me and in two hours I'll give you a hand making sure the disc is REALLY DEAD!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Got Soap?
Review: This is movie that has been well described already so I won't bother. But I wanted to warn you that the actors need to wash their mouths out! I am a 30 year old woman who does not appreciate hearing people swear in movies, and my husband and I wish we hadn't bought 6th Day because of the language. I don't appreciate the "F" and "S" words like they must think I do. The movie would have been just as good (BETTER) without the profanity. There is also some rather graphic violence scenes for a pg-13 movie. I think there should be some kind of warning on the box for movies explaining the rating. If you buy this don't say I didn't warn you....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great for the whole family!
Review: If you listen to most, they will tell you that it the action movie of the year. I beg to differ! This movie displays the typical shoot'em up movies that Arnold has always done. It would probably be too much of a challenge for Arnold to play a serious role without having to make such antique remarks such as, "I'll be back!"

On a better note, if you have a preteen that lusts for some good clean action, this is the movie that will have most the kids in the family talking for days afterwards. Very futuristic, not to mention that Chevy probably got a few good digs in on the Chevy 1500 Silverado with "auto-pilot!" Sit back and enjoy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Arnold Returns to Form
Review: I bought this DVD recently, just because I happen to like Arnold's previous work in film. I like action blockbusters, although lately they have become predictable and routine. This film reminded me a lot of 'Total Recall,' and I think if you watch 'Total Recall' after it, you may find a lot of plot similarities. The reason you should see it though, is that for one, it brings upon very valid questions about the future direction that human cloning may be heading, both it's benefits and problems. Secondly, it's highly entertaining with it's special effects and futuristic gadgets. Is it Arnold's best film? No, I felt 'True Lies' was, but it's definitely worth owning. The DVD does look and sound great, as well as having various trailers for films.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's nice to see the big man back
Review: First of all, this is NOT Total Recall and strictly speaking it's not better either, but don't let that put you off! Arnie plays his usual good guy (but he's getting slighly better folks!) who plays an old fashoned pilot that fears even cloning pets takes away some of our humanity. He then ends up having to fight for his identity, as usual there are chases, fights and some great special effects. I thought that Arnie checking for wrinkles in the first scene was quite funny, obviously a side joke hinting that he might be getting too old for this s**t. The bottom line is that this is the best Arnie flick for many years and proves that there is plenty of life in the ol' dog yet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Somehow this is one of the best films of 2000
Review: I really do think that this is a great film or at least very good, great plot, entertaining, smart, but confusing and a bit exagerated, but this is a very good one, it also has great acting,I really don't give it five stars i give it ****1/2.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Could've been better
Review: Schwarzengegger's return to action didn't fare much better in this clunker about a regular joe named Adam Gibson who co-runs a helicopter business. Gibson learns that he's been cloned and the "replacement" that is living out his life, means he must be exterminated by a prophetic businessman and his group of dastardly cohorts. This film, while not bad, just seems flat and uninspired. Schwarzenegger's return to action doesn't do much and it seems that the standard action sequences take place with at least one mandatory car chase. The only real amusing scenes involve the continual cloning of the businessman's henchmen, and a scene involving two Arnolds at once, but rather than that, it just seems out of place.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The 6th Day
Review: THE 6TH DAY is science-fiction action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold plays Adam Gibson, a professional helicopter pilot who has a loving wife and a daughter. The time period is "the near future," and there are laws that ban the concept of cloning human beings, but the cloning of animals and household pets is perfectly legal. The action and the fun begins when Adam Gibson comes home from a seemingly normal day of work on his birthday, and see's a clone of himself eating his birthday cake with his wife and daughter in his house. It seems that an evil corporation has illegally cloned Adam for reasons unknow to him, but Adam is very eager to find out, so he arms himself with some weapons and goes out to kick some human-cloning .... This movie turned out to be way better than I expected, and I recommend it to all action and Arnold Schwarzenegger movie fans!
