How sad is this?

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The Battle begins in this exciting conclusion to V. In V-The Final Battle a group of Resistance Fighters come together to fight Diana and the Visitors from taking over Earth. In V-The Final Battle we begin to see what The Visitors truly have in store for us, taking prisoners to food processing plants,draining our water supply, converting humans were we are under their complete control. I thought the conclusion was just as good a The Original Miniseries. We begin to see how a small group of Resistance Fighters battle against The Visitors, The birth of Robin's hybrid child is a wild scene all in itself. I usually think sequels don't compare to the original movie; but this one did and it put it all together. The beginning of the battle against The Visitor's, the friendships formed with The Resistance/Visitor's 5th Column, The birth of the star child and the winning battle against The Visitor's. This movie is a must see, it is still one of the best miniseries from the 80's ever you will not be disappointed. Kris L. CocKayne-abucki4ever71

i think i loved this one just as much if not more than the first V movie, in this one you get to finally see Michael Ironside in action,, i love how he calls Mike,, "do gooder",, or gooder,, it's hilarious, he stole the show for me and he was only in last 2 episodes of the total 3 for the final battle.. yeah i like star wars and buck rogers,, but for a short series and a couple of movies,, V just rocked on all 8 cylinders for me,, Jane Badler , kicked butt as the alien commander,, Julie Parrish is gorgeous, especially in the conversion chamber in the spandex outfit,, Mike Donavan is so likable is our "hero" Willie, is a V,, but very cool and part of the 5th column, a group of V traitors helping the resistance,, scenes are set mostly all in Los Angeles. the battle scenes are fantastic, and this still rated in my opinion as one of the best TV movies ever made along with the first V.

While I thought the original mini-series was great, this follow up only ranks as a fun trip down memory lane. I doubt I will ever watch it again after having just seen it on DVD.In the original we watch a band of revolutionaries form a secret underground resistance to the alien visitors. It is a very thinly veiled allegory to Nazism, but that is what makes it so effective.In this second part, we basically follow the 'incredible' adventures of the underground resistance as they perform various deeds. The plot just seems to be treading water and not going anywhere for the first 3 hours. As others have mentioned, the ending feels quite abrupt and unsatisfying. The biggest problem is that the resistance fighters seem capable of pulling the most amazing feats, slipping past security with amazing ease, and hiding out in a 'secret' hideout that would take the aliens about 10 minutes to find. The bottom line problem is, how can an alien race that is capable of travelling 65 million miles through space not also have a proximity detector that tells them when resistance fighters are rustling around in the bushes outside of their 'security headquarters'? With the credibility strained, the action sequences just feel repetative.As in the original, the human sub-plots are what remain the most interesting. The most interesting is the story of the girl who was impregneted by an alien in the first series. Watching her come to grips with being the mother of a possible alien is pretty good.If you remember seeing this when you were young, get it for fun, but don't expect too much from it.

As a child I was both mesmerised and terrified by the fascist alien threat of 'V'. I was eight years old, in awe of Donovan, in sympathy with Willy, and in love with Julie. I would draw pictures of the characters in my sketchbooks. I would pretend that I was glowing and saving the world from the thermonuclear mothership. 'V' affected me more than Star Trek or Dr Who or any other TV series that I can remember watching in my childhood.Now it's nearly twenty years on and here I am married and living in another country altogether. My wife and I rented the full V series and watched it all in one day (phew!). All I can say is this - although it was still entertaining - the magic just isn't there anymore. Now I mostly cringed at the hammy dialogue and wished that someone would rewrite the horrendous 80's soundtrack. Not to mention the fact that the wonder-child ending makes no logical sense whatsoever and remains unexplained. Oh well, not all good things can last eh?'V' is still worth a watch if you haven't seen it before. And it's still a damn sight better than ID4. But it's not like it was. Sadly...
