Humanity is at an interstellar war with the Drac who resemble humanoid reptilians. No side is winning however. In a space battle the human pilot Willis and his Drac enemy Jareeba managed to shot down each other and both crash land on a barren planet. In order to survive they have now to work together. Here I stop to avoid spoilers. The story is refreshing and not your typical science fiction stuff. It focused on character growth and ask serious questions about war, hatred and understanding each other. If you want a popcorn science fiction spectacle I think this is the wrong movie. If you want something that makes you think and grabs you emotional this is more for you. It is touching and immersive. On the bad side I think they overburdened a bit the messages of the movie. Could be just me but a warning should be fair. The actors fully delivered for me and we have a strong main cast with Dennis Quaid as Willis, Louis Gosset Jr. as Jarreba and Bumper Robinson as Zammis. Really strong performance that keep me engaged in the movie. I enjoyed the special effects, sets and costumes back then but don’t know if they hold up today. For its time and budget it was however more than satisfying. Overall I think this is worth to watch if you want something different. Unique movies like that a rare in our times so you have to go to older movies or classics. An 8/10 is fair for me.… Expand
