…the result stands up better than a lot of 80’s fare…Enemy Mine conjures a wild world of adventure for our human and alien protagonists, and Quaid and Gossett Jr make a nice job of charting the growing trust and alliance between their characters…

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2025

As long as Quaid and Gossett are the only actors on screen, Enemy Mine is merely average. But later on, additional characters arrive to demolish any pretense of credibility or sophistication.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 25, 2023

Like the all-too-aptly named Neverending Story, this is a leaden, constipated fantasy.

Enemy Mine may be peculiar in tone, but it is good-tempered and a fantasy worth having.

| May 25, 2023

The makeup effects aren't exceptional, the starships are a bit clunky, and the designs of rodent fauna are stiff and uninspired.

'Enemy Mine' must be appreciated for how much the daring Fox production had to "swim against the current." [Full Review in Spanish]

For a talky '80s sci-fi flick with decidedly unimpressive special effects and a generous share of really cheesy dialogue, Enemy Mine isn't half bad.

A hard pill to swallow despite the gallant efforts of Dennis Quaid and Louis Gosset Jr.
