2.5/4
"As a Schwarzenegger vehicle, it's sub-par..."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

10/10
"of the best thrillers you will see this year"  NutzWorld  Blake French

3/5
"A little phony science I can forgive, but what's less forgivable is that The 6th Day is so damn boring! Where are the thrills?"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

2/5
"Since it’s not a very smart sci-fi film, we then hope for a fun sci-fi film.... But there’s not much fun here."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

3/4
"...coherent action, exciting chases, clever twists and intriguing payoffs."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

2.5/4
"...the Arnie spark just isn't there."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

C+
"A rehashed formula action/sci-fi film about the near future."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B
"An exciting high-tech action film that's even a little clever, in its big, blowing-things-up kind of way."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D-
"It has a stale, familiar ring, as though it had itself been cloned from innumerable earlier pictures."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"A savage critique of a corporation that sets out to market "the business of life.""  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"a science-fiction action extravaganza with some interesting ideas"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

"The film may be relatively painless to watch and does offer some occasionally fun moments, but it's simply too flat and uneventful when it should have been exciting, thrilling and possibly even moving."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

6/10
"[I enjoyed] enough of the film to recommend it just slightly, especially to Arny fans."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

6/10
"...filled with a lot of movement and noise but little actual excitement or suspense...a great-looking, quasi sci-fi movie with not a lot actually going on."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"Yet another movie that looks and sounds like it was written by people whose only real life experience are the films they saw growing up."  Light Views  John Larsen

2.5/4
"No es nada del otro mundo, la historia es medio sosa...pero entretiene"  Moviola  Jorge Avila Andrade

2/5
"It felt like 6 days..."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

3.5
"This is the cyberpunk movie I wished would have come out in the early 90's, a kind of grandchild of Blade Runner and Total Recall."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

8/10
"The good news is, Arnold Schwarzenegger's commitment probably got this ambitious sci-fi thriller made. The bad news is, it would have been better without him."  Film Journal International  Maitland McDonagh

2.5/4
"In paying attention to potentially thought-provoking issues, the writers neglect basic storytelling."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3/5
"Nem mesmo as cenas de ação conseguem empolgar..."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

B-
"Though hardly on the level of great science fiction, it manages to produce an entertaining two hours...something very few of [Schwarzenegger's] recent films can claim."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

4/10
"A few clever ideas buried under tons of stupidity."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

8/10
"Spottiswoode and Schwarzenegger deliver a clever and colorful conspiratorial thriller with high-energy action scenes, car crashes a go-go, spectacular technology and big explosions, packaged with ferocious glee and spoofing humor."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

B-
"A watchable action vehicle with some thoughtful futuristic touches and an attempt to grapple with larger issues."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
