One of the largest wastes of money ever. More than $33 million was spent on this futuristic version of THE DEFIANT ONES or HELL IN THE PACIFIC, both infinitely superior films. The basic flaw is that its premise is older than your great-grandfather's hat. Earthlings are fighting the Draconians, warring reptilian creatures that think humans are ugly, somewhere in the far distant future. Dennis Quaid, one of Earth's pilots, has a dogfight with a Drac, Louis Gossett, Jr., and they both crash-land on a remote planet. The two warriors meet and must join forces to survive in this angry world. The sets are spectacular, though the special effects are only so-so. That so much money could have been spent on such a dull film is difficult to fathom. ENEMY MINE is a multimillion-dollar bore with just enough humor to make you realize it might have been terrific if they'd gone all the way and made it a satire, rather than a straight drama. leave a comment
