V: The Final Battle (Repackaged/DVD)

A great 1980s sy fi movie

This was the biggest miniseries on television in 1984. It looks fantastic on Blu Ray.I recommend buying both this one, The Final Battle, and the original V, which is the first part of the TV miniseries.It was my all time favorite TV program as a child.V is a retelling of how NAZIs came to power in Germany. It is like how Animal Farm retells the Communist uprise in the USSR.Earth is unexpectedly visited by a race of attractive aliens who promise peace and prosperity from their hard learned lessons. In exchange, they only require the use of our chemical facilities to manufacture a chemical that they can't manufacture on their own.When news journalist, Mike Donovan, infiltrates the LA mothership he discovers the shocking truth about the alien Visitors.Trivia fact: V does not stand for Visitor. V stands for Victory, which is how it was used in WWII.

Worked great

V: THE FINAL BATTLE delivers on Blu-ray. This 2-disc set features the 3-night miniseries from May, 1, 2, and 3rd, 1984. The video is crisp and clear, and the sound is equally clear. Warner Bros. went above and beyond in this one. They cleaned this one up nicely, and returned it to its original broadcast ratio of 1:33.1 (4 x 3).Parts one and two are on the first Blu-ray disc, and part three is on the second one. The COMING ATTRACTIONS for parts two and three are here on Disc 1 as bonus. However, one disappointment I have over all, is that there is not a making of feature or audio commentary with cast/crew.Over all however, if you love this story as I do, then you will want to add this one to your Blu-ray collection. V; THE COMPLETE MINISERIES is also available (August of 2019) on Blu-ray. Pick them both up today and relive mankind's greatest alien invasion movies.Will the complete 19-episode series be close behind now? Time will tell.

Enjoyed this show when it was on in the 80’s. Kinda liked the new series but they didn’t give it a chance. Been wanting to rewatch this for a while, but I have not been able to find it.

Fast shipping as advertised

Not superior to Original 1983 as idiotic producers had creator-writer-director leave the project over "differences" but veinly continues Kenneth Johnson's vision and all cast are back as favourite characters and connect once again engaging us viewers. Diana though flops going from an established cold-blooded scientist reptillian to a ding-dong insecure hysterical mess for the Visitors. Sarah Douglas shine's breifly as Pamela giving Diana order's and excercising her villanous acting chops as Supreme Commander and the intrigue is of the reptillian's for and against on the space ships. How ever the Rebelsplayed by Faye Grant, Marc Singer, Robert Singer and Blair Tefkin steal the show against great odds to help save humanity from the Visitors.

Arrived fast and in good condition. Enjoyed watching it again after so many years. Thanks!
