Arnold Schwarzenegger earned $ 25 million to shoot in forgotten sci-fantastic flop

Arnold Schwarzenegger-legend of the screen, but is well known that the Austrian star has more than a few fools to his name. A man even has a terrible zero percentage on Rotten Tomatoes, although it is for the 1979 movie, in which he played a “beautiful stranger”, so it’s not really considered. Moreover, according to Rotten tomatoes, Arnie starred in one of two “ideal” sci-fi films With the Terminator, giving the star a full 100% score to balance things.

However, there is a wildly unequal filmography between the two films, which presents everything: from insurmountable classics, such as “Terminator 2: Court” and “Total Messum” “Batman and Robin” – a set for which has become chaos largely Arnie – and the 1999 movie called “End of Days” which Newsweek“S David Ansen called” Lurid, Fx-Happy Thriller “, which” kills pieces of dozen other films into new harmful. ”

The misfortune that Schwarzenegger will return to the big screen only a year after the “end of the days” in another combat thriller, which similarly crashed into other films into the wicked association of well-worn sci-fi tropes from Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. All this would be somewhat expensive for the former Mr. Friza if this movie made money. (That’s not.)

The movie was “6 -day”, the year was 2000, and the answer was bad. Roger Spottiswoode’s science fiction figures did not receive profit, but critics ridiculed that were not kinder to the movie than Ansen to “End of Days”.

After in 1997, in 1997, the Saga Saga with “Tomorrow never dies”, Canadian-British director Roger Spotiswood drew attention to the science-fiction project “Arnold Schwarzenegger”, “6th day”. But while “tomorrow never dies”, after the debut was obtained enough, the following observation spottiswoode was not.

In the film, shot in the near -loop, Schwarzenegger starred as Adam Gibson’s pilot, which he considers the drug test before, just returning home to find it illegally cloning with tricky technology campaigns. The company then hunting on Gibson to keep its illegal cloning of a person secret. Released on November 17, 2000, “6th day”, made 96 million dollars The budget of $ 82 million, which means that Sony has taken a great loss. Such a loss would not have been so big if Schwarzenegger did not take a $ 25 million salary for his leading role, but that’s what a person could pay at the time, even when he was coming out.

Unfortunately Schwarzenegger obviously felt that the “6 -day” would invent his reputation. At that time, the 53-year-old man was well aware that his days as the main character Hollywood were on decline, and this gap of sci-fi was in his way to try to turn the tide. Unfortunately, not only the “6th day” was a commercial failure, it was a mocking sci-fantastic styles also not a hit with critics.

Possibly Sana Connery’s best movie – “Darby O’Gil and Little People”, “” But everything looks not so great for the “6 day” Rotten tomatoes. 40% criticism and 5 out of 10 medium ratings are not the worst thing that if you pulled a tomatometer, but it’s not great. For the sake of justice, several critics believed that the film was a firm sci-fi, including Roger Ebert Himself, who called “6th day”, “a well-thought-out entertainment that contains enough ideas to qualify as a science fiction, not just as a futuristic thriller.”

But, it seemed, the predominant opinion of the critics was that Roger Spotzwood built a kind of sci-fi pastor. In one’s review for New York TimesElvis Mitchell wrote that “almost everything in the film seems to be shot from DNA of other images” and warned that “you can expect your star, Arnold Schwarzenegger to wake up and discover that he was actually” full of mention “that was also confused.”

Indeed, there are so many points in the “6 -day” that remind you of the more impressive trips to Schwarzengere. Even the trailer scans as a collection of the best screen points of the Austrian oak. Fighting on board the plane over the center of the city is reminiscent of the last moments of “real lie”, while the entire room revolves around the usual dude, which has fallen into the fraud of some kind of distinguished future technology campaign, really feels “complete” RIP. Even “6th day” font looks a little “terminator” -Ek.

Oddly enough, the unburned human bodies suspended in the thorns-related bodies are also surprisingly reminiscent of the science-fiction films that debuted the year before. This movie was a “matrix” with its fetus filled with human growth. By no means did the spatiswood see the Vachovsky movie and managed to raise the idea. If anything, it speaks of fears around the technologies that existed at the turn of the century. But this is another example of what another movie made better. Honestly, if you release a sci-fi activist a year after the debut of “Matrix”, you better make sure that this one hell of the movie “6th day” was not paid.
