one of my absolute favorites!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

"The Incredible Hulk" creator Kenneth Johnson hit gold again with this excellent TV film about alien invaders who ostensibly arrive on Earth in peace, but really have a sinister agenda.Marc Singer("The BeastMaster") plays our hero Mike Donovan, a journalist who becomes increasingly suspicious of the aliens, led by Diana(wonderfully played by Jane Badler) who is revealed to be...well, watch this to find out the true identity of the aliens! Faye Grant also plays a scientist named Julie, who joins Donovan in forming a resistance group to fight and expose the aliens' plans.Writer Ken Johnson cleverly portrays just how easy it would be for these invaders to ingratiate themselves in society, and fool the public with promises of miracle cures and shared technology. Sadly, I think it would be even easier to accomplish today with our media...Huge hit that led to a sequel a year later.

This is the finest ever made for TV mini series I have seen. I remember watching it when originally broadcast and recently bought the DVD and re watched. Not only does it hold up, it seems better to me now than when I first saw it 29 years ago. Leonard Cimino is brilliant as the aged holocaust survivor who lost his wife in a concentration camp. He makes the most of his part and teaches us all not only how to fight, but how to love. The beautiful Faye Grant is awesome as the leader of the resistance. While there are obvious allusions to the Nazis, it is amazing how much of the story mimics today- There are allegations of "Owning the press and the news media." Civil rights and homes are lost. The visitors, with their own version of Obama's "Hope and Change" really had their own agenda, which they dare not reveal. I really enjoyed this, there was surprisingly little gore, and scenes of torture were implied, but not shown. Well done and very enjoyable.

Other then small differences like the V's being aliens the way they assimilated power and conquered the earth is very similar to how the Nazi's took power of Germany in the 1930's.The V's like the Nazi's had a charismatic leader, brainwashing and propaganda in the media. Even the uniforms of the V soldiers is very similar to the storm trooper soldiers of the Nazi and they use the same Red and Black colors.Same way that the Nazi's used hope for the future to help influence the population the V's used a cure for things like cancer and other ailments. Early terrorist attacks on the V's were blamed on scientists in the same manner that the Nazi's did the same to communists. This miniseries shows society can be swayed by easy answers and charisma.

Hello, I need help from the V fans.. V is a series I used to watch as a teenager. i've been trying recently to obtain all the episodes and checked on Amazon and other sites. It seems that all the episodes of the "first season" so to speak (minus the first 2 that introduce the story) are missing from the market!!! Then we shift brutally to V, the complete series (1984), starting 1 year after the beginning of the story... My sister in Europe tried to buy me the first season for Christmas but couldn't find those missing episodes either. Does anybody know where i Can find them? thanks in advance for your help.ahaza
