  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 but alittle obvious as sets, not great but good and you do feel for the Draconians as the films nears its… More
  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 but alittle obvious as sets, not great but good and you 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 as the finale builds tension which gets you rooting for the hero.

  It's either one of the worst movies ever made or a B-Movie classic, that's really the only way I can see it. The dialogue and forced racism element is utterly hilarious. Then there's just this really bizarre alien birthing/aging process that I will never truly… More
  It's either one of the worst movies ever made or a B-Movie classic, that's really the only way I can see it. The dialogue and forced racism element is utterly hilarious. Then there's just this really bizarre alien birthing/aging process that I will never truly understand. While it's extremely enjoyable and fun, I don't think any of it was intentional.

  Cult Sci-fi dealing with the unlikely subject of racism. A very underrated film!

  "Enemy Mine" was one of the good movies of the 80's. It's about an alien called a Drac (Louis Gossett, Jr.) and a human (Robert Quaid), who's species are brutal enemies. But they must learn to cooperate with each other to survive on the barren planet that they both crashed on. "Enemy Mine" is a good movie in just about every way. The special effects, landscapes, and aliens are great. Quaid and Gossett Jr. also do a good job of acting. The movie drastically changes when one of them has a baby. If you like sci-fi movies, "Enemy Mine" would be a good movie to get. My only complaint is that it didn't have much action in it like many other classic sci-fi movies, but it's still a good movie. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. Not sure I liked this movie as much as most people did at the time, but it's certainly not bad either.

  Not that interesting and quite slow at times.

  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… More
  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.

  An astronaut (Dennis Quaid) is stranded on a planet with a pregnant alien (Louis Gosset Jr) for some quality human-alien friendship and support. Darmok!

• Jason S

  
  A great movie that has been copied in most tv shows I have seen. Two enemies are trapped together and must work together to survive.

  A very familiar story line about two erstwhile enemies learning mutual respect after being forced together to survive. Lou Gossett's daft lizard make-up may put some off, but it's quite well done while they are alone together; it gets rather less convincing during the… More
  A very familiar story line about two erstwhile enemies learning mutual respect after being forced together to survive. Lou Gossett's daft lizard make-up may put some off, but it's quite well done while they are alone together; it gets rather less convincing during the inevitable sci-fi action climax.

• Dean M

  
  Dull friendship story between two disparate personalities carried to extreme lengths.

• James A

  
  A love story that touches your heart and your rim.

• Lee K

  
  boring and highly disaapointing

  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.
