The 6th Day refers to the Genesis passages in the Bible where it talks about Man being created in God's image. Set in the not too distant future, this movie explores some of the repercussions of Man being able to create Man. We've already cloned sheep. We're learning more and more about DNA every year, so what happens when we get to a point where we can clone anything and make a perfect copy?

This film picks up with a time period where this is possible. Animals are able to be cloned perfectly. Human organs, except for the brain can also be cloned. However, some experiments with human cloning earlier went terribly wrong and cloning of humans is illegal, The 6th Day Law. So imagine the surprise for Adam Gibson, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he arrives home one day to already find himself inside enjoying an evening with his family. The people responsible wanna off poor Adam before the world finds out he's been cloned.

And you know what happens when someone tries to kill Arnold. It just ticks him off and usually leads to lots of gun play, fights and maybe even some explosions. This will be no exception. There's more than just action here however. Although the story is somewhat transparent and predictable, it actually does a pretty good job of presenting some philosophical and moral questions about cloning that will make you think.

But enough about the deep stuff. When we get a new Arnold movie what we want is action. And we get a good dose of it here with tons of gun play, a decent car chase and some creative implementations of high explosives. The real fun part was all of the neat futuristic toys in the movie ranging from the helicopters that could suddenly turn into high speed ground hugging jets to the virtual girlfriend. I won't say much about the virtual girlfriend other than I want one.

We went into this flick expecting it to be a bit of a stinker based on the trailers. However, the combination of the cool futuristic toys, some decent action and an intriguing premise resulted in it being much better than we expected. There really weren't any slow spots and the movie didn't seem near as long as it was, that's always a good sign. However, this isn't the film you're going to now remember Schwarzenegger for instead of Terminator or anything like that. We give it 3 stars for being your basic action/scifi/thriller but with a few unique elements.
