Well, Dolly (the sheep, not Parton) has been upstaged by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just what is this world coming to? If "The Sixth Day" is any indication, not much.
The galloping Arnold stars as Adam Gibson, a helicopter pilot who returns home from a trip to find a cloned Gibson living with his wife and family as the Real Item. What is he to do? They didn't prepare him for this in flight training.
Youngsters reviewing the film have found it to be "cool, way cool." They apparently love the virtual girlfriends, remote control dogs and the double Arnie. "It has lots of good one-liners and some kool gadgets," is the way one teenager describes it, and it's hard to top that.
But, what the heck, we'll try. The movie will be a must for Arnie groupies, and for the rest of us, well . . . Because cloning is illegal, even in this advanced age, Arnie teams up with the cloned Arnie to fight the team of assassins who are attempting to eliminate the Real Item. Together, the real and the fake Arnie fight, for "their lives, their humanity, and their freedom." So there.
Robert Duvall, Tony Goldwyn and Michael Rapaport also star in the movie.
Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, the film is written by Cormac and Marianne Wibberly. (The real and the fake?) It is rated PG-13 for strong action violence, brief strong language and some sensuality.
It is playing at Market Square East.
