http://urllio.com/r2gfeA soldier from Earth crashlands on an alien world after sustaining battle damage. Eventually, he encounters another survivor, but from the enemy species he was fighting. They band together to survive on this hostile world. In the end, the human finds himself caring for his enemy in a completely unexpected way.
On a distant planet, at the height of the war between the Dracon and Terran Empires, two military pilots crash in the heat of battle. One is Terran, one is Drac. Each is a repulsive alien to the other. Each is a professional warrior, filled with hatred for his blood enemy. Now, marooned on a hostile world, they have a choice. They can complete their missions in a mutual pact of violence and death. Or they can do the most painful thing any Human or Drac has ever done: reach out and begin the new age of understanding that is struggling to be born.
At first when I saw this movie on the shelf in the video store I figured it was just another monster movie, but since it was science-fiction I had to see it. I just have to see all movies I come across in the genre. At first I started making fun of some of the effects ( Just having been spoiled by Lost in Space and The Matrix. ) and thought that I would be amused more than amazed by this movie. I was wrong, it was not long before I noticed that this movie went the opposite direction to the common monster movie image and the story was actually quite emotional and intelligent. It surprised me many times and held both me and my girlfriend in suspense right up until the very end. For anyone who is tired of macho kill-them-all science fiction movies, which most movies involving aliens are, this is definitively one to watch.
Hardly anyone seems to have noticed that Enemy Mine is virtually a space-age remake of Hell In The Pacific. Instead of an American and a Japanese soldier marooned together on a remote island, we have a human and an alien marooned together on a remote planet. Nonetheless, Enemy Mine is a nicely done film which features some pretty amazing sets and locations, awesome lizard-man make-up, and a fairly thoughtful (albeit sentimental) storyline.<br/><br/>In the future, the nations of Earth have finally found peace with each other and begun to channel their energies into the exploration of space. However, whilst navigating the star systems claiming planets and moons as colonies, the Earthlings discover that another race exists in the universe known as the Dracs, from the planet Draco. It isn't long before the humans and the Dracs are engaged in a full-scale space war. The film opens with a spaceship battle between a squadron of human fighters and their Drac opponents. Human pilot Davidge (Dennis Quaid) crashes his spaceship on a desolate, uninhabited planet whilst pursuing one of his foes, but before the crash he manages to cause enough damage to the other spaceship to make it crash also. Eventually Davidge and the Drac, Jeriba (Louis Gossett Jr), find each other on the surface of their new temporary home planet. Initially, they hate each other and spend most of their time trying to kill each other. But as it becomes clearer that they are stranded, with no apparent help en route to rescue either of them, they realise that they must put aside their differences in order to survive. After several, years, the Drac (being of an asexual species) gives birth to a baby son, but dies during the labour. Davidge is left to raise the baby Drac, Zammis (Bumper Robinson), but things take a turn for the worse when some cruel human scavengers arrive and set up an illegal mine on the planet, using captured Dracs as slave-miners.<br/><br/>The best part of the film is the exploration of Quaid and Gossett's relationship, how they initially hate and distrust but gradually come to appreciate and understand each other. The make-up used to transform Gossett into this lizard-like alien is absolutely incredible. Later, when Gossett's character dies and his baby son takes his place, the bond between human and young alien becomes genuinely touching. The film is less enthralling during the more action-orientated scenes, as well as the scenes set aboard the human space station. The opening spaceship battle is stilted and unconvincing; the scenes where Davidge is reunited with his fellow humans after years stranded on the unfamiliar planet are done too hurriedly and make little impact on the story. The film's climax, in which Davidge tries to rescue his young Drac friend from the scavengers has flashes of gruesome excitement but is another scene that seems to have been put together in great haste (the ending feels really sudden and under-developed). However, purely for its lovely middle section - which has more to do with issues like tolerance and teamwork than science fiction - Enemy Mine remains a commendable film.
In Germany the movie was shown in a version that is 1 minute longer than the International Version. Two scenes were prolonged. Be aware that the German DVD only features the International Version. Yes. Enemy Mine is based on a novella written by <a href="/name/nm0519530/">Barry Longyear</a> in 1979 No. Author <a href="/name/nm0519530/">Barry Longyear</a> was quoted as stating that 20th Century Fox asked him to write in the subplot involving the scavenger mine because the audience would not figure out that the title 'Enemy Mine' was actually a play on the phrase 'My enemy.' a5c7b9f00b
