The filmmakers are too willing to do whatever they think will push the audience's button.

Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)

There's no doubt that the formula for this kind of action film is showing its age.

Geoff Pevere Toronto Star (Top Critic)

If replicating the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger was truly a pressing possibility, we'd get superior knockoffs of better days than this.

David Hunter Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Has unexciting characters overall, and it relies on routine car chases and shootouts that would be even sillier without the booming soundtrack and special effects.

... 6th Day cannot match Schwzrzenegger's best action efforts, and the harder it tries, the more it sabotages its own best interests ...

In paying attention to potentially thought-provoking issues, the writers neglect basic storytelling.

...Simply another fiery, loud shoot-em-up with overblown villains, over-the-top heroics, and lapses in simple logic.

A calculated but winning piece of back-to-basics entertainment... with two Arnolds for the price of one.

Schwarzenegger keeps the violence to a PG-13 level, though his idea of pacifism is to fire a million laser bolts instead of a million bullets.

Jason Clark Matinee Magazine

A sublime premise for a movie turned into an unsurprising Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle.

A watchable action vehicle with some thoughtful futuristic touches and an attempt to grapple with larger issues.

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.

How come these bad guys have such bad aim? Does everybody in real life say something funny after they kill a person? Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

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.

A few clever ideas buried under tons of stupidity.

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.

...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.

As a Schwarzenegger vehicle, it's sub-par...
