- Robocop793d agoBrilliant movie
- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 22, 2025A movie that's far too good to be as little remembered as it is.
- 匚卂尺ㄥApril 14, 2025Many light years from earth the space station is under threat of attack from the 'Dracon's' a fierce battle between ships from both sides follows, 'Earth' vessels pilot 'Willis Davidge' (Dennis Quaid) gives chase to a enemy ship, the 'Dracon' pilot ejects after his ship is damaged as both ships are pulled in by the planet they approach, 'Willis's' ship collides with the stricken 'Dracon' vessel which leads to his ship crash landing on the desolate planet. Only 'Willis' survives the crash, knowing that the 'Dracon' was also on the planet, he sets out to finish the ''fight'' However the two after fronting each other with hostile intent realize that survival outweighed the need to kill the other. Survival and the hope of rescue encourages them despite language difficulties to work together. The planet proves to be even more inhospitable than they could ever imagine, their only unlikely hope is to be rescued......a friendship of sorts emerges between them, they both try to understand the other. (be grateful that the 'Drac' 'Jeriba' (jerry) Shigan' (Louis Gossett jnr) decided to learn English, had he not done so we'd not have understood the banter) There are many dangers the two have to confront and an unexpected to 'Willis' that is, event to come, 'Jeriba' will ask his earthly companion to care for the child he is about to give birth too. There are moments of both humour and intensity with for a 1985 movie also some good visual content. The film in many ways turns into a touching tale as we see 'Willis' desperately trying to fulfil the vow he made to 'Jeriba' to care for the son 'Willis' has called 'Tommy' The film though a little slow to get going is worth sticking with, worth a spin.
