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

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Gotta get used to seeing this.
Last time I watched this was back in the day when TV were of poor quality and it's kinda weird watching this as an Adult. I love 'V' and it was a great miniseries.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Conversion chambers, lizard babies, and red dust galore!
V: THE FINAL BATTLE was the much anticipated follow-up to NBC's 1983 mega hit V THE MINISERIES, a science fiction alien invasion piece which doubled as a World War II/Holocaust allegory.

Jane Badler returns as the evil Diana along with Marc Singer as the heroic cameraman turned resistance fighter, Mike Donavan, and Faye Grant as the medical student turned leader of the resistance Juliet Parrish. In Part One, we see the climactic takeover of the Visitors' historical televised address ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sci-Fi Television At It's Finest!
And so we have the conclusion to the brilliant first part of the mini-series that enthralled me when I was a kid over 25 years ago and boy was it worth the wait! Who can forget Robin's childbirth of twins for example? Very few television series from my childhood age well but you can count "V" as one of them. The picture quality of this dvd is also very good although not perfect but still better than the first mini-series; the surprising thing though is that the first series dvd came with Dolby ...
