Aliens with nice faces and reptilian habits descend over the earth bringing a new and menacing world order with them in this landmark television miniseries. Sixty-five million...
more...viewers reportedly viewed the original broadcast. Disguised to look just like humans, the aliens are actually lizard-like creatures out to strip the planet of its water supply and turn humans into food. Although most people are fooled by the visitors and allow the planet to be taken over by the fascist monsters, a group of resistance fighters try to defeat these creatures. Helping the underground movement is a journalist (Marc Singer) who figures out just what the aliens are up to. The story concludes in V: THE FINAL BATTLE.

Review of V - The Mini Series (DVD) by Frankingsteins

Advantages: Well executed science fiction concept in the classical style.
Disadvantages: Filled with Hollywood character and plot clichés.

Simply titled 'V,' Kenneth Johnson's two-part miniseries spawned an immediate sequel and a subsequent television series, all of which were handled by different writers and deviated ever further from Johnson's original vision.
