At the time, the epic scale of this production was unprecedented. Those 50 motherships that hover over Earth's major cities anticipate Independence Day by more than a decade. The special effects and makeup are still awesome. Less so is the often-hackneyed dialogue. But thanks to their signature roles, the mostly no-star cast, most of whom would be reunited for a sequel and subsequent television series, have ensured themselves standing invitations to sci-fi conventions. Marc Singer is cameraman-turned-freedom-fighter Mike Donovan. Julie Parrish is a medical student-turned-rebel. Richard Herd is the aliens' supreme commander. Jane Bradler is Diana, the ravishing but ruthlessly ambitious alien science officer. Leonardo Cimino lends dignity to his heavy-handed allegorical role as a Holocaust survivor. Look for a pre-Freddy Krueger Robert Englund as one of the aliens.
The DVD is presented for the first time in widescreen format. Supplemental features include an amiable and enlightening director's commentary and a brief "making of" segment. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of V - The Original TV Miniseries
The Visitors Kenneth Johnson's V is about an alien invasion. Watching the mother ships float above the earths major cities looks a bit scary. When the visitors show themselves they look just like you and me. When cameraman Mike Donavon is invited on board the ship he finds out what they are after. I liked the fact that he gets help from a few of the friendly aliens. Willie (Robert Englund) is my favourite as he helps in his owm goofy way.
V - The Original TV Miniseries
I cannot rate this review because the movie never reached me. The package reached me but the movie inside was not V - The Original TV Miniseries, the movie inside the package was Mr. Roberts. I did not order Mr. Roberts, I ordered V - The Original TV Miniseries. I have put the package back in the mail to you with return to sender on it since the person I spoke with had not sent me the return shipment lable which was promised. I hope my order for the Fourth Season of Charmed comes correctly. I will not be ordering from Amazon again once the Fourth Season of Charmed reaches my doorstep. Thank you for listening.
Entertaining, suspenseful, and exciting!
I highly recommend "V" to anyone, who enjoys sci-fi films of the 80's because the characters are fascinating and memorable.
