Review of The 6th Day
Year: 2000 Reviewer: Chris Docker
Sci-fi hokum from Schwarzenegger that delivers more or less what it promises. He comes home one day to find he has been cloned. What's more, the clone is enjoying his birthday party, cuddling his daughter and making whoopee with his wife. Once the basic dilemma was out of the bag I was worried about whether the film would maintain enough momentum, but it manages it quite well and I enjoyed every minute of it. There's plenty of gags about "near-future" inventions to keep sci-fi fans happy, even if the main premise is riding rather shakily on the recently completed Genome Project. Not an outstanding movie, but an enjoyable one for most sci-fi fans.
Rating: 6/10
