Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Though followers of current science fiction television series may dismiss V: The Final Battle as a quaint relic from the pre-computer animation days, the six-hour miniseries about an alien invasion of Earth was a ratings juggernaut for NBC in 1984 and should still provide some entertainment for hard-bitten devotees and fans of '50s-style sci-fi. The Final Battle picks up four months after the shock conclusion of the 1983 prequel miniseries, with a small group of humans known as the Resistance struggling to convince their fellow humans that a fleet of seemingly friendly visitors from space are in fact bent on world domination.

Executive producer Kenneth Johnson (who oversaw most aspects of the first series) only supervised the sequel's script (which underwent several changes before its airing), and the writing occasionally suffers due to the lack of his attention. But the series still delivers its share of action and intrigue, as well as one showstopping gruesome moment involving the birth of interspecies twins. Acting is again a stumbling block, with leads Marc Singer and Faye Grant as bland as any performers from the American International Pictures stable; character actor Michael Ironside makes the strongest impression as a tough Resistance member, and a pre-Freddy Krueger Robert Englund is amusing as a kind-hearted alien. The miniseries was followed by an inevitable weekly series featuring most of the same cast, which was demolished in the ratings by Dallas, but a faithful Resistance-like following remains to this day. --Paul Gaita

4 out of 5 stars Alien Appetite.......2007-06-29

I remember seeing V back in the 80's. I thought that the premise was excellent. At that time we were all caught up with Star Wars, ET, Star Trek and more. The Final Battle brings all of the characters together. There is a lot of action here. I liked it better than the series. Special effects by todays standards is bad. But for the 80's it was fine. Enjoyed the story because it can take place anywhere and at any time. I WOULD DEFINATLY BUY IT.

5 out of 5 stars V-The Final Battle.......2007-05-26

I liked this show very much when it first came out on TV. I was very excited when I saw that it was on DVD. I am glad that Amazon had it. I looked on other sites and they did not have this movie. I was impressed with the quality of the DVD. The story plot is typlical of a show from the 70's but it was still very good. I am glad I bought it.

5 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!!!.......2007-01-12

I'm a big fan at the serie and I enjoyed it again

4 out of 5 stars I recommend that you read the other reviews.. .......2007-01-09

However, noone has commented on one interesting fact..

Theres a episode MISSING!

The orginal miniseries is 10 hours long.. theres 2 hours missing.. and the part where they attack the processing plant is "too soon".. unfortunately, I don't remember whats missing.. but it seems that it belongs before the first ep presented on this DVD set!

5 out of 5 stars For all you Jane Badler Fans.......2006-09-15

Reading the many reviews in all the "v" series categories, People asked why
very little was seen of this lovely lady after the series finished.
Well i may be able to shed a little light on this . As far as i am aware Jane has been living in Melbourne, Australia (are'nt we lucky to have here here !)since the early 90's after travelling here to make episodes of Mission Impossible. More recently she has forged a career on the stage starring in the one woman show Shakin' the Blues. She has appeared in various tv shows & guest slots also, and i think happily married to a local Lawyer. Go to Google and you will see lots of pics & info
