Summary: Excellent DVD
Review: Everything about this dvd was really cool. The special features include the making of V. It was really interesting. Just a note for all of you who want to get it for the Dolby Suround sound. I bought 2 of these DVD's and each one was recorded in Mono only. Other than the sound, it was a cool dvd and I would by it again if mono is the only way to have it :)

Summary: V The miniseries
Review: This is a must for any science fiction lover to add to your dvd collection.As a kid I saw V on tv and like many other kids I'M sure was taken by it's high action and mind blowing journey. This movie series was an original in its time, and had many lovers tuned in on the box without fail. The dvd has audio commentry by the writer and director Kenny Johnson which was very reveiling on what went into making this story and is very well informative. Now I cant wait for the sequel to the movie series to be released on DVD called V The final battle!(Hurry up Warner Bros)

Summary: Were The Extras On This DVD Abducted?
Review: Where are the extra features described above? Gag reel & trailer(s) seem to be missing. The DVD back cover does not list them as included. However, video transfer is excellent, but is presented in a "matted" widescreen format. Again the description states "anamorphic". Audio is better than expected considering the age. Dialogue is a little thin, but surround effects are sharp. The behind-the-scenes documentary transfer is terrible. Commentary is interesting and audio is clear. Overall, I still recommend it. Low cost is a plus. If someone finds these extras, please write it in your review.

Summary: Where is the beef?
Review: Ok, I thought this was the whole series as well. The Final battle is not on this DVD. Other wise V rocks! I can't get over the clarity of this series. It's like seeing it for the first time again but man, you really need the Final Battle to complete this series.

Summary: My Shrimp Boat Got a Flat Tire So I Need an Inner Tube
Review: Movie Summary: Out of nowhere, fifty gigantic spaceships appear above the major cities of the earth and we know that we are not alone in the universe. There is much nervousness as we wait for something to happen. Finally there is contact from the ships, they are here in peace to ask for help from us. They need a chemical that they can easily create here on earth. They need the chemical to save their dying planet. In exchange they will share their technology with us. When they appear from their ships, they look surprising like us. They need sunglasses to protect their eyes and their voices sound weird, but other than that they are the same; or are they? Relations with the Visitors start out very well but very quickly turn bad. The Visitors have to help the governments of earth maintain peace; or do they? My Opinion: I loved V in 1983 when it played on television as a miniseries. It was a huge event for a teenage science fiction fan. I was worried that it wouldn't hold up today so many years later. I watched the DVD and wasn't disappointed at all. The story was still as great as I remembered. A few of the special effects were dated by today's standards but most were not. With good science fiction it is the story that drives the movie, not the special effects. It is this way with V. The huge cast of characters and multiple plot lines make for a terrific story. The parallels to the Nazis are frightening. There are characters to care about; both to love and to hate. There is depth to this story and that is what makes it great. Mark Singer and Faye Grant are still two of my favorites. Do not miss this DVD not matter if you've seen it before or not. This is a great one. DVD Quality: 1.85 Widescreen Anamorphic! This is awesome after seeing it in only 1.33:1 for all those years. DD2.0 Extras include commentary and Making of documentary. This is a flipper DVD with half of the feature on each side of the DVD. The picture quality is great. I was really impressed. The sound isn't great but isn't terrible either. Overall this DVD is a great value for the price. What You Should Do: If you are any kind of SciFi fan you need to get this DVD. The story holds up well and you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Half the Battle
Review: Well I've just finished watching "V- The Original Miniseries", and I'm thinking 'where's the rest ?'. When it arrived in the mail I wondered how they managed to get a 5 part series of around 10 hours (if I remember rightly) on one disc. Now I know - just include half of it. I originally saw this on TV in England in the early 1980's where it was shown as a 5 day series of 2-3 hours per night. There was no distinction between this movie and "The Final Battle". Come on guys, release the other half!!! Apart from missing the second half, especially the lizard-baby, the movie was excellent, however.

Summary: v?
Review: Although I loved this mini series this DVD is only the first 2 parts. There were 4 parts in this series and I was expecting to see the whole thing so i was disapointed to find out otherwise. I feel this should have been noted in the item description. Other than that this is a great movie with lots of action and drama.

Summary: ID4 has nothing on V!!!
Review: I had this on VHS from when it first came out on TV!! It is great to own it now on DVD. I loved it then and I love it now!!! ID4 is clearly a ripoff from this! I can't wait until the "Final Battle" comes out to make my collection complete!! It is well worth getting for this good price. This movie was ahead of its time.

Summary: I thought V & V-the Final Battle were one and the same
Review: I was excited when hearing this movie from my youth was being introduced to DVD. I think many others might also remember thinking the sequel was part of the original as I did. While I enjoyed watching this DVD, the ending is a cliffhanger--and you can't order the sequel (at least not yet)! Had I remembered this, I would have waited to purchase both at once. This felt like watching Independence Day & having someone shut off the movie after the first 80 minutes. When the DVD ended, I checked the DVD twice to see if the player skipped tracks or made a mistake.
