Review of Enemy Mine (1985) by Kevin R — 16 Feb 2015

If this planet doesn't kill us we're going to kill each other.

The Earth has become so uninhabitable that the humans have invaded the galaxy and started marking their territory. The Dracs do not take too kindly to the human's behavior and a battle ensues. A human and drac pilot crash on a deserted planet with many of their friends dying around them. The Drac and the human will have to work together to survive.

"What am I supposed to do, run down to the market for a jar of baby Drac food?".

Wolfgang Petersen, director of Troy, Das Boot, The Never Ending Story, Air Force One, Outbreak, Poseidon, Shattered, and In the Line of Fire, delivers Enemy Mine. The storyline for this picture is fairly entertaining and an interesting addition to the science fiction genre. The acting by Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. was excellent.

"Where the hell has he been?".

I remembered thoroughly enjoying this picture as a youth and was happy to come across it on HBOGO. This was very fun, entertaining and well executed. This isn't a perfect picture by any means, but the characters were well delivered. I do recommend seeing this.

"He fulfilled his vow.".
