The 6th Day
A world of the very near future in which cattle, fish, and even the family pet can be cloned. But cloning humans is illegal - that is until family man Adam Gibson comes home from work one day to find a clone has replaced him. Taken from his family and plunged into a sinister world he doesn't understand, Gibson must not only save himself from the assassins who must destroy him to protect their secret, but uncover who and what is behind the horrible things happening to him.
Critics Sentiment
Adam returns home to find his clone celebrating birthday
Adam goes to police but believed to be mental patient
The film peaks with the shocking clone discovery premise but drops significantly during the predictable police station sequence.
Critics found The 6th Day to be a competently executed but ultimately formulaic sci-fi action film that squandered its intriguing cloning premise. While reviewers praised the central concept and Arnold's committed performance, they criticized predictable plotting, poor special effects in places, and missed opportunities to explore deeper ethical themes. The consensus was that it delivered expected action entertainment but fell short of the thoughtful sci-fi it could have been.
