Hatred between a grotesque alien and his human enemy gives way to friendship and respect when their survival on a desolate planet relies on peaceful coexistence.

Ratings and reviews

[Potential spoiler in my comments] The true beauty of the movie is that the story is timeless. It is about enemies learning they hated each other for someone elses reasons. Even better, the alien character design takes race and gender out of the equation of the movie and leaves the viewer with a simple moral. Chose your enemies, or better yet, your friends, for yourself. Think for yourself.

Watched this movie as a child and loved it. Am grown up and appreciate it even more cause of the moral of the story and how it shows friendship, love and loyalty. World today could take a lesson,has gotten so much worse since I've grown up and is really sad that it's become this way.

Yea they say Sci fi fantasy however I believe with all my heart that this movie is the real Mccoy especially knowing and not knowing my true leniage and to the supposedly Supreme race my people were once told we were animals and treated as such( slavery) we don't to this day know our true language and are barely scraping the surface of who we really are on and in this earth.
