For anyone who is a fan of ‘alien invasion’ movies, sci-fi in general, or honest good-old storytelling, the unusual ‘V’ mini-series is an absolute classic. The memoir begins with the arrival of 50 vast spacecraft over 50 major cities around the world; a civilization of human-like beings have arrive to ask for our abet in saving their dying planet. Over the film’s 3+ hours, our ‘visitors’ go from friend to foe, and humanity faces the prospect of enslavement by a facist regime, not unlike in World War II, this time on a world-wide scale. V was (and aloof is) new in its ability to weave together action and drama, along with some sci-fi elements, to do a ‘morality tale’ of sorts. I must admit, there were a couple of scenes that level-headed leave me choked up. The mini-series debuted on NBC in the Spring of 1983 and was followed by an superior sequel, ‘The Final Battle,’ a year later. Considering the date of release, it must be mentioned that the special effects are not up to fresh CGI standards – don’t advance here expecting ‘Independence Day’, but there are some scenes that are calm impressive, even by novel standards. This was done support in the day when you had to acquire all your effects from scratch and there were no computers to topple encourage on!
On to the DVD release of ‘V’…I must say this correct now: if you’re like me and you’ve seen V a hundred times already, you’re in for a shock when you glean a peer at this version. The colors are knowing and everything is so sharply in focus…it makes my passe VHS version seem like watching t.v. with plastic-wrap over the cover. It looks that edifying! The audio track has been completely remastered and the majority of the effects have been enhanced. Every laser blast, every explosion, the whoosh of a passing fighter…it’s all there, loud and obvious, and in Dolby Stereo. A 25 limited ‘behind the scenes’ documentary is included, and while it won’t convey you anything recent or repulsive about V, it is engrossing and adds to the value of the disc. Last, but definitely not least, is the commentary track by writer/director Kenneth Johnson. This WILL yelp you ‘new and shocking’ things and is definitely a major treat for those of us who are long-time fans.
I was about 9 years primitive in the Spring of ’83 when the novel V mini-series debuted on t.v. Needless to say, V left a major impact on me, as remarkable as the current ‘Star Wars’ movie did, if not more. If you are a fan of V, you MUST acquire a copy of this – it’s like seeing the expose again for the first time. On the other hand, if you’ve never seen V before, if you can deal with its early-80′s origins, it will no doubt proceed you like the rest of us.

As for myself, I have one thing to say: bring on ‘The Final Battle’ DVD, I’m ready!
P.S. Oh, and one more thing…why did Jane Badler’s name never become a household word? Aside from her being devastatingly glorious, not to mention her chilling portrayal of the dismal alien leader ‘Diana’, one would have expected to scrutinize more of this talented actress later on in her career. There is no justice in this world!
Like many, I was a Grand fan of both the “V” mini-series as a kid. Though even as a kid I found the dumbed-down weekly series to be sub-par, which is ironic considering I was the target demographic NBC was looking for. In rewatching the mini-series’ as an adult it’s apparent that “V: The Final Battle,” while agreeable, was also heinous to Ken Johnson’s current. It’s a shame he wasn’t allowed to guide the further installments, “V” would probably quiet be on the air today in some execute.
I wanted to determined up some of the confusion I’m seeing in these postings. First of all there is no missing footage, the mini-series is not lop in half. This DVD is exactly what it is billed as, “V – The Novel Mini-Series.” The unusual “V” was two parts which ran over two nights in 1983. It didn’t have an ending, it wasn’t really bellow to in order to articulate its allegorical story. The second mini-series, “V : The Final Battle” was three parts and aired over a year later. Both mini-series’ were syndicated to UHF stations in the unhurried eighties. Those stations usually ran all five parts over a week, though heavily edited. That might be what’s confusing some. Considering this DVD has sold about four times better than Warner Bros. was expecting, I’d say it’s a distinct bet “The Final Battle” will be released on DVD before too long.

As to the Gag Reel, sadly it’s not on the disc. It was supposed to be but unfortunately, Warner Bros. was unable to definite it for release. Too many of the actors wanted to be paid an additional fee for its inclusion on the disc. … objective never updated the information. Hope that helps!
