Enemy Mine (DVD) ... Dennis Quaid, Louis Gossett Jr. ... / DVD released 11 July, 2002 at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Dubbed, PAL, Widescreen / Enemy Mine is, in essence, a sci-fi remake of John Boorman’s Hell in the Pacific (1969), only instead of a US pilot and a Japanese naval officer stranded on a Pacific island during WWII, here we have a lizard-like Draconian (Louis Gossett Jr.) and his mortal enemy, Earthling Dennis Quaid, both having crash-landed 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. Although the script sets us up for an intriguing encounter, it ultimately 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'Gorman, Amazon.com On the DVD: Enemy Mine on disc is presented anamorphically in its original 2.35:1 theatrical ratio with a vivid Dolby 4.0 soundtrack. Thankfully picture and sound are excellent, since the extra features are lamentably poor, consisting merely of the theatrical trailer and three (yes, three) "behind the scenes" still pictures. The disc is also equipped with multiple language and subtitle options.--Mark Walker

Premium Review Enemy Mine (DVD): The 80's at its best! (258 words)

Enermy mine is the 80's sci fi classic directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Cliffhanger and Perfect Storm). The film is about a human space pilot who crashes on a planet whilst in a battle with the enemy, the Dracs. He is not the only one on the planet though as you find out that one of the Dracs that he shoots down during the battle has also crash landed. The two stars of this movie are Dennis Quaid who plays the human Willis Davidge and Louis Gossett Jr who plays the Drac. At first the two enemy try to kill each other but then realise that they need to be both alive if they are going to survive on the planet. This film is about friendships being build ...  Read the complete review

Enemy Mine a 80s Sci-Fi by director Wolfgang Peterson completely evaded by radar. I watched it a couple of days after I saw James Cameron's Avatar which sees the human race a mass-consuming racial in-tolerating corporate might. In Enemy Mine we see this in the main Character to a lesser degree. Dennis Quaid is at least intolerant and at best ignorant of the Drac- an alien species the humans have been at war with over territory. Quaid peruses a fighter craft which breaks up in the atmosphere over an alien planet and causes both Drac and human ship to crash. After a hostile introduction Quaid's relationship with his sworn enemy grows from one of tolerance to friendship ...  Read the complete review

This is a classic film I have seen it a few times but after seeing it again yesterday I feel compelled to review it. The film stars a very baby faced looking Dennis Quaid (Willis Davidge)and Louis Gossett junior(Jerbia). Basic story line is earth is at war with the dracs over planetary rights, the dracs are reptilian looking creatures but are intelligent. During a star fight dennis quaid shoots down the drac and then crash lands himself on the same planet. Both survive and after realising they are stuck on the godforsaken planet together strike up a frienship with both learning to speak each others language and realise their religions are not so ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review not bad (94 words)
by - written on 08/10/00 (Useful, 24 readings)
Rating:

A reasonable science fiction movie from Wolfgang Petersen, but by no means on a par with his excellent DAS BOOT. The usually excellent Dennis Quaid just seems to be going through the motions here, and looks incredibly ridiculous with his fake beard, but Louis Gossett Jr. makes a good stab at playing the alien who Quaid must work with to survive. The special effects do not seem particular special, but that is perhaps because I am a man in the year 2000 judging effects from 1985. A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours, though. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Enemy Mine (DVD): Earthman and Alien - Marooned On A Hell World (402 words)

I must say that i was very impressed with the acting displayed by Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett JR in this sci-fi classic, which has all the ingredients needed for a great film. Both actors displayed a wide range of emotions from, anger to sympathy and seriousness to moments of comedy (with one particularly funny comment attributed to Mickey Mouse!) The film begins with human William Davidge (played by Dennis Quaid) attacking his mortal enemy the drac in a space battle. However the pursuit ends with both parties crash-landing on a deserted planet (Tyrine IV) and the death of Davidge's co-piolet. He was stranded on the planet with the Drac. In a fit ...  Read the complete review
