Movie Reviews of Enemy Mine
Movie Review: Even Soviets liked it (especially the ones who were kids at a time)...
Summary: 4 Stars
This was one of a very few American films that were actually purchased by Soviet cinema authorities for a theatrical release in Soviet Union. While the likes of "Star Wars" and "Alien" where bashed as decadent and imperialistic, "Enemy Mine" and "Star man" where released with very little censorship.
And so it stands as one of the first visually magnificent experiences of my childhood: watching "Enemy Mine" in my local cinema house in Alma-Ata on a big screen and in (almost) all of its glory back in 1987.
Summary of Enemy Mine
Lizard-like Draconian Louis Gossett Jr. and his mortal enemy, earthling Dennis Quaid, crash-land on a hostile planet during a brutal space battle. Forced to rely on one another for survival, they overcome their differences and become fast friends. You can almost hear them break into an off-key version of "It's a Small World." German director Wolfgang Petersen, so brutally honest with his film Das Boot, turns warm and cuddly on us with this intergalactic buddy movie. Much of the problem, though, is that the script sets us up for an intriguing encounter, then settles for a simple and sentimental resolution. Noteworthy set design and strong performances, especially by Gossett, push this beyond mere mediocrity. His performance is fascinating, as he must speak in an alien tongue, which he maintains with artistry and consistency. --Rochelle O'GormanIn this visually stunning sci-fi adventure, two warriors engaged in a savage, futuristic war between Earth and the planet Dracon. Crash-land on a desolate, fiery planet. At first, the human, (Dennis Quaid) and his reptilian, alien opponent (Louis Gossett, JR) are intent on destroying each other, the two stranded pilots gradually realize that the only way either of them will survive is to overcome their undying hatred.
