The story which began with the mini-series V comes to a stunning conclusion in this made-for-TV sci-fi adventure. A race of reptilian creatures from another planet arrive on Earth, disguised as humanoids and claiming to come in peace in a search for needed water and food. However, their true motives soon become evident when they take control of the world and begin eating humans for sustenance. A ragtag army of Earthlings form an underground resistance army, leading to a final apocalyptic showdown between the humans and their new rulers. V: The Final Battle reunites most of the original cast of V, including Marc Singer, Robert Englund, Jane Badler, Andrew Pine, and Faye Grant. Followed by a short-lived weekly series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
This story is as classic as Star Trek or Star Wars or Lord of the Flies or 1984. Sure the special effects are lousy but you're supposed to be using your imagination. This is one of those movies that should really be remade with superior effects but I do think the casting of all these characters was just flawless. The story is full of compelling moral questions, messages about loyalty and unity and doing what's right and it does a good job at conveying the vulnerability of human beings. V has a lot more to offer than the average tv flick.
Reciew 382: direct continuation of V comfortably excites on with the established heroes&continuing complications within their growing guerilla resistance.
Could have been so much better. ... is it a cross between "Star Trek", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Mork and Mindy"? Naaaa, merging those 3 would have produced a better result.
