From DVD Review UK :
But on a German review page it was stated that most of the extra features aren't worth watching. Only the nine SF/X making-ofs are said to be great.
We recently reported that the Region 2 release of Arnold Schwarzeneggerfs cloning thriller The 6th Day (2000) would have more extras than its Region 1 counterpart (see our US review for details). It turns out that this is quite true ? so much for the idea that copies are inferior to the originals! Itfs not often R2 discs are better-featured than the US versions, but you wonft catch us complaining.
The R2 DVD of The 6th Day, in addition to the composerfs audio commentary, RePet infomercial, TV spots and standard trailer and production notes, will also contain eThe Future Is Comingf making-of featurette, nine (!) behind-the-scenes featurettes, three storyboard-to-film comparisons and a pair of animatronic comparisons.

There is also a version out in R2 (Japan) which has less extras but includes a DTS soundtrack.

Has anyone tried to listen to the music soundtrack without the composers commentary? When I enter that option in the special features menu, I still have to enter Play the movie and then I still get to hear the dialogue!
I own the region 2 version.

I have the r2-japan release and the dts track is quite good. I rented the r1 release to compare and the dts track was a good bit better. I don't remember the extras offhand, but I will be sure to check the disc when I get home tonight.

Yes it does have animated menus. There is also a typo on the back that says it's only "stereo" when in fact it's DD 5.1!
