Try spending a couple of years marooned on a planet and stuck with your worst enemy and you'll be good friends too.

MCT:July 8, 2008Wolfgang Peter'son's lavish take on the idea of a soldier and his alien enemy stranded on a desolate planet makes for something special, but ultimately is bogged down with silly dialog and long bouts of boring longing. Never quite sure if Quaid and Gossett are going to kill each other, or make out.

MCT:July 4, 2008A great bit of sci-fi, funny and touching with some nice fx work and great sets.
Might be a bit boring for some though and some scenes could have been fleshed out a bit more.
Had this been made today I think Louis Gossett Jr would be up for an Oscar. -

I loved this movie, and remember watching it in class, like a space movie, but a learning to not be so afraid of what we don't know, kinda a teach against racism movie with outerspace backgrounds....lol

MCT:May 23, 2008I really love the first part of this film, and perhaps it's no surprise that it's the only part of the film I remembered from watching it as a child. It's an interesting and poignant premise, with inventive creatures and great visuals. It's the second half that really goes down hill, with ginormous plot holes, laughable action scenes, and plenty of sap. Still, the first half is enjoyable and innovative enough to make this a classic. I just wish they'd been able to carry it all the way through, and made it the masterpiece it had the potential to be.

I cant get enough of this movie. Befriending the enemy on a uncharted planet for years can be rough. I first saw this when i was much younger but even watching it now...its as entertaining as much as it was back then. A great SCI-Fi flick for fans.

Wacky wacky wacky! It's kinda like the odd couple with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. But one guy is an alien named Jerry. And the couple end up having a baby together....

A potential masterpiece that tends to lose itself in several dumbed downed aspects, but nevertheless is a fine enough film in its executed form. Peterson's film of common ground in amongst traditional hostilities is a notion that seems to bode well in politics as the world progresses. The ideals presented in the film are striking and given a good enough treatment for most to enjoy its meaning. Quaid gives a steady performance, while Gosset is in his prime.

Interesting and original, Enemy Mine is not the average type of sci-fi movie. The fact that the film relies more on characters and performances than on plot or special effects or action is one of the major qualities of the movie.
The relationship between those two 'enemies' IS actually the heart of this movie. Quaid and Gossett Jr. , as the stars, do give some of the best performances of their career, and the well-written script only adds to the quality of this above average sci-fi movie.A must see in my mind. -

This movie had a fantastic story. Though it didn't have much action and was boring in places, I still really enjoyed it by the way it made me feel. It had some really touching scenes and actually contains a lesson not to judge the unknown before you get to know it.
Overall the idea and the fantasy is very well done. Definitely recommended for all sci-fi fans. -
MCT:February 9, 2008I remembered I liked this, but again, too much time has passed to give it the rating I think that it would deserve.

Classic 1980s' sci-fi which argues that brotherhood is possible between folks despite any differences. Quite heart warming actually. Apparently the Soviets loved it. Best bit: Davidge on the Drac homeworld.

As the saying goes, "They just don't make them like they used to." Enemy mine is a great movie about two enemies who must work together and become friend in order survive an alien planet.

Set in the far-flung future, the interstellar war between Humans and Draconians seems endless. But when two soldiers each representing their own race crash lands on a distant planet, they must find a way to get over their differences if they want to survive.
a fantastic flick from wolfgang petersen. with great acting from both of its stars dennis quaid and lou gosset jr, Enemy Mine shies away from your normal sci-fi flick. focusing on plot and character development, Enemy Mine succeeds in getting viewers to care for the friendship and hardships of the lead characters, which in truth, is one of the main reasons why this film is a hit. -
MCT:September 6, 2007Why isn't this one of the great scifi-classics? Too intelligent for Hollywood, I guess. Great movie, despite some glaring plotholes.

a vey good and touching film which has obvious under currents of racism and hatred.both actors are very good as they try to adapt and get on with each other.the look is good,not great but good and u do feel for the draconians as the films nears its climax.its a nice idea that works well and does highlight how cruel and meaningless racism is.quite emotional and touching.

A classic film that smashes down the barriers by challenging racism and prejudice by putting an Alien and a Human in space alone.

I loved this movie. Very smart and it shows that the outer appearance is irrelevant. There is always more then meets the eye.
