Loved itI loved it when it came out, and loved watching it again. This is a wonderful example of the era--Reagan and the StarWars Program. May 11, 2008
V for Victory
*V* was my favorite sci-fi mini-series when I was kid. It was wonderful to get the DVD and stroll through the memory lane of my childhood. Despite the outdated technology (special effects, etc.), *V* remains a classic.
Life is the usual around the world until 50 gigantic motherships hover above 50 populous cities. The human-like visitors claim to come in peace. However, animals are behaving erratically. Scientists are mysteriously disappearing or arrested.
There are resistance groups forming, believing that the visitors are not whom they claim to be. Meanwhile, there is a resistance group, Fifth Column, among the aliens who disagree with their own people's agenda. Once the ball gets rolling, the visitors show their true colors. The question is, who will win?
There's been talk of Kenneth Johnson reviving V, after more than 20 years since the TV series was canceled. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed. May 10, 2008
Buy this now!
I loved this as a kid and still do. This brings back so many great memories. I was wondering how this would hold up and it still rules. This must have been digitaly remastered because it looks so colorful and vibrant. Buy this if you are a science fiction fan. April 21, 2008
Awesome sicfi story
Grew up watching this series and had to buy the DVD. I would spend a while lot for it, but definately a good show. March 29, 2008
Laughable 80s Mellodrama
The graphics were good for it's time but the storyline gets silly - invaders claiming human scientists have a conspiracy against them, and the acting is basically what you would expect from a bad made for tv movie. It's basically a sci fi soap opera. It isn't terrible. But hard to take seriously. I'm a big sci fi fan, but this is a silly movie with second rate writing and acting. I can't complain for $10, though. I'm just disapointed. March 16, 2008
