| Description: | Futuristic action about a man who meets a clone of himself and stumbles into a grand conspiracy about clones taking over the world. | Comments: | Sorry guys...THE SIXTH DAY doesn't quite cut it as top-drawer Scifi, but has a lot of fun along the way failing! Entertaining and eminently watchable inarguably, it just falls down at critical moments! Bulging with ideas and concepts from other science fiction movies of the last 15 years or so, THE SIXTH DAY at least tries to get a message across about the social and moral problems inherent in cloning. Schwarzenegger, moving up several cogs since END OF DAYS (cruelly dubbed END OF CREDIBILITY in some circles) plays the ultimate family man totally miffed when he comes home one night ready for his daughter's birthday party, only to find himself already there. The scenes following, where he attempts to elude corporation "agents" carrying his pre-programmed doll are hysterical.....rather reminiscent of the Johnny Cab sequence in TOTAL RECALL. The latter film is also obviously making a second cameo appearance when Arnie is introduced to RE-PET, an obvious take on the RECALL facility! Unfortunately the film gets sillier as it goes on, still interesting but just goofy in its logic, although Duvall provides credibility as the genetic scientist responsible for the entire project. Spottiswood is clinging to the sides of his runaway juggernaut towards the last reel as Arnie and his identical self turn the tables on the bad guys. I WANTED to like this flick and indeed DID, but as a cerebrally challenging piece of Sci-fi it just doesn't work. A better title would have been LAST ACTION CLONE. |
