V - The Final Battle

Rating:
Summary: Classic.
Review: Great series, although dated, a true Sci-Fi classic... Only one thing botherd me, what the heck was up with the ending? Is this Sci-Fi or Care Bears? Ah well, its great up to the last 5 minutes.

Summary: Fun, But. . .
Review: It was fun watching this series again after nearly 20 years (damn). Since many others have uber-analyzed everything about this release already, here are some random thoughts from my left parietal lobe. The Visitors don't shoot any straighter than they did in the first mini-series. Clearly they need better weapons, training and glasses. Even the humans are real dullshooters, except for the last 30 minutes of the film, when everyone morphs into a deadeye. It's funny watching grandma spraying lizards (the air, the ground, adjacent buildings) with M16 fire. However, someone should take that .38 revolver away from Eleanor. The scene where she unloads on her son - and misses six times point-blank - is ROTFLMAO hilarious. Speaking of Donovan, what's with the pose-striking every time he shoots his Visitor pistol? What's with the free hand, buddy? Robin was cute and sexy, in a girl-next-door kinda way, in the first miniseries, but is nothing but a teary, whiny mound of jello in this one. geez, just SHUT UP already. I wanted someone to shoot her almost as much as I wanted to see Daniel, the human "Friends of the Visitors" suck-up take a few teflon tips center-mass. It was great when Steven, the bumbling always-at-Eleanor's house security guy sent Daniel to the meat locker. The writer and director really rammed the parallels to the holocaust down the viewer's throats throughout. Best one liner in the mini-series: "Damn them!", when Diana learns that humans just toxified the world from their hot air balloons. Also like how she ran away after the assaniation attempt on her life (after her one bodyguard bought the farm). Funny to watch people hauling around clear trash bags full of a deadly biological weapon. Lastly, the visitors must live under different laws of physics that we do. Their lasers are the slowest-moving beams of light that I've ever seen. I could spit faster than that. Musically, if you closed your eyes, you'd think that you were watching "Dallas" with laser blasts. Again, "V" was fun, but the amount to which they leveraged sci-fi-movies from the period is astounding.

Summary: V: The Final Battle (Are You Missing Out)
Review: V:The Final Battle is a great movie but i think they needed to keep creater Kenny C John on board. He is the one that started it all and should of been there for the Final Battle and TV Series. V:The Original Miniseries and the V: Final Battle and
V: The Complete Tv Series are all my Favorite. You all that don't have it. You Don't know what you are missing. Thank You.

Summary: great follow up to the first V
Review: The Final Battle is a little less serious than the first V mini series, but it's really a lot of fun. I'm glad this is on DVD. Ham Tyler and Chris Farber are fantastic characters. I enjoyed this mini as much as the first V...maybe even a little more than the first.

Review: When the Region 2 Version DVD for Europe ?
Galactica and V Series, such like Buck Rogers (Space1999), Knight Rider or A-team, belongs to an all 80's generation. I live in the border between Spain and Portugal, and I saw all these Series in both countries. Why didn't sell this DVD Series in Europe ? I think that will be ( i'm sure ), a bestseller.

Summary: Not up to standards of "the Original Series" DVD
Review: I bought "The Final Battle" after I buying the excellent "Original Series" DVD, expecting a similar quality. Unfortunately, the effort put into this second DVD set is sparse compared to the first. I won't comment on the story, but just the technical features.
There's no feature length commentary by Kenneth Johnson, who left the director's role, nor by anybody else (no one's baby). The soundtrack is Mono, instead of the newly mastered stereo for the "Original Series". These 2 shortcomings make "The Final Battle" less of a collectors item than "The Original Series". You may want to get that set before this one, or not get this one at all.
