In this science-fiction thriller set in the very near future, DNA cloning has been perfected and has become an accepted part of everyday life -- cattle and fish are cloned for sale at the market, genetically engineered fruit and vegetables are found in most family's kitchens (nacho-flavored bananas, anyone?), and if your pet dies, you can even order a cloned replacement. But laws have been passed that strictly forbid the cloning of human beings. However, helicopter pilot Adam Gibson (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who believes people should live and die the old-fashioned way, discovers that someone has been violating these regulations. After Adam luckily avoids being on a copter that crashes, he comes home to discover someone has duplicated him. Now Adam is on a mission to find out who cloned him and why, as he struggles to take back his life from a scientifically created impostor, his boss Michael Drucker (Tony Goldwyn), and a pair of thugs (Sarah Wynter and Rod Rowland) who have been cloned into near-indestructibility. The 6th Day also stars Robert Duvall as cloning expert Griffin Weir, Michael Rooker as Drucker's right-hand man Robert Marshall, and Michael Rapaport as Adam's partner, Hank Morgan. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger's delirious science fiction mind-bender Total Recall may find themselves right at home with this action-packed tale of replicants, reanimators, and clones. And like the movie itself, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment's special edition DVD is packed with enough bells and whistles to wile away plenty of serious couch time. The two-disc set features the film in its original theatrical widescreen presentation (2.35:1 enhanced) and with a very robust and active English language 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack (French, Spanish, and Portuguese language options are also available). The picture is superb, as is to be expected, coming off clean, color balanced, and sharp throughout. The 5.1 soundtrack contains some nice active channel separation, while still keeping the dialogue audible. Disc one also contains an audio commentary track with composer Trevor Rabin (guitarist from the band Yes) with an isolated 5.1 music score. The track will surely be of interest to budding film composers, though all others may want to stay away. Disc two contains plenty of other digital goodies, including nine behind-the-scenes featurettes chronicling all facets of the movie's production, especially the wonderful special effects work; the Showtime special "The Future Is Coming" (which doesn't really offer anything of any importance); storyboard comparisons; the amusingly surreal and macabre RePet infomercials and TV spots in their entirety; theatrical trailers; filmographies; and more. For fans of the movie, you can now safely dispose of the previously released no-frills disc. ~ Derek Hill, All Movie Guide
