I knew nothing about it but am a sucker for anything SiFi. the poster was enough for me. I have owned several copies of the movie and given them all away to close friends NO ONE WILL GIVE THEM BACK. Had there been a Rerelease a few years later I think the movie would have made money. Everyone I have ever gotten to watch this movie thought it was great. Lou Gossett jr s acting being worthy of an Oscar. To bring so much within the limitations of that makeup and costume is remarkable. The story is predictable but still touching. I have watched this movie 8 or 9 times. and am about to watch it again with a bunch of young people that has never heard of it before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800394615201472498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-28473972193732796902017-02-24T04:05:07.221-06:002017-02-24T04:05:07.221-06:00Great Article and it brought back some memories.

Very little of the BTA is shown. Very little of the war is shown. The only spacecraft we see is that cargo shuttle at the beginning, the outpost station, the starfighters, and the mining ship. And even the BTA fighter isn't credible as it appears to be more style than substance.<br /><br />I agree with the author that Enemy Mine suffers falling into the doldrums of mid-80s sci-fi. The movie doesn't fit into late-70s/80s working class sci-fi style (Alien, Aliens, Outland, 2010) and it was too soon for the early 90s sci-fi style of Total Recall and Babylon 5, which I think would have been a more natural fit for Enemy Mine.John Rottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736420410333742002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-57278712225064259132015-07-27T00:15:47.009-05:002015-07-27T00:15:47.009-05:00Sadly, it is not.

An example of this is; in the movie, Davidge is told that the Drac language is to be sung, but in the book, he figures it out for himself. It is a much more beautiful seen. It would also have been better to have the second film, “Son Mine.”Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15463753036970838320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-79799952710193645862014-06-13T23:50:54.815-05:002014-06-13T23:50:54.815-05:00Classic science fiction film.
