Enemy Mine (1985)

Nobody knows, remembers or name checks this movie, and yet it is a classic that inspired many modern movie moments and episodes of Stargate alike!

The effects are wonderful, better than anything Star Wars sequels were producing at the time and that's saying something, and the anamatronics don't disappoint either, and on top of all that a solid, patient, highly psychological script with some damn good points to make about prejudice and ignorance, and although I feel the pace is a little TOO laid back at times, it's still at least as good as one of the better Star Trek movies.

If you love sci-fi as I do, then you need to own this!

I first seen this film when i was about 6 years old and totally loved it. Bought it of play.com and watching it all these years later is no different for me. I still love the film and the powerful emotional effect the story has. The acting was pretty good but what i love most about this film is it shows how enemies can become freinds and that there is no need for war. The humans are at war with an alien race called the draks. but when a man ( denis quaid ) crash lands on a planet during a spaceship battle along with a drak ( Gosset.Jr) they both realise that in order to survive they must learn to rely on each other. I find it very moving indeed how they become closer over time, and eventually close freinds and there some sad emotional scenes which make it all the better. It really is a classic film im my view and others to.

I was looking through the offers at play when I saw this film, I certainly brings back memories of the great 80's films such as Red Dawn and Back to the Future. The surprisingly good special effects, the great storyline and the fantastic emotional and judgemental attitude this film addresses all add to a memorable and enjoyable experience. If you are young don't let the age of the film put you off, this is unfortunately a forgotten classic.

Top Film you have to buy brings back the memories AAAAA+++++

This is classic low budget sci-fi at it's very best, this movie wins for it's original theme and fantastic script and acting throughout. For 90% of the film it revolves around just 2 characters and their relationship which is compelling and emotional at times.

A classic that many may have missed. 8.5/10
