Enemy Mine: SFX Miniatures

Enemy Mine SFX Miniatures
Enemy Mine was a movie that was so ahead of it’s time in so many ways. The story is timeless, the Special effects were great for it’s day and it came from a time when not everything had to be a blockbuster. You just tell a good solid story, you make the viewer care and you are done. This is a movie that stays with you long after you watch it. Could a movie that focuses on just two characters with limited effects even be made today? Probably not and that’s a damn shame.

The special effects that were in the movie looked amazing at the time. Check out some of this movie’s SFX miniatures and a few behind the scenes shots. What a special movie. It is really unique compared to most Science Fiction in that it has such heart and humanity while both characters are so far from home.
