Trivia:
In a massive media campaign before the series aired, posters with the line "The Visitors Are Our Friends" appeared in subways around the United States--just as they did in the first part of the mini-series. Days before the first episode aired, each poster was spray-painted with a bright red "V" exactly as was done in the show. more

Stanley Bernstein: I really don't believe you brought them here.
Abraham Bernstein: They have nowhere to go. Their house is being watched now.
Stanley Bernstein: And so is ours! By Daniel! Tell them that we're sorry...
Abraham Bernstein: Stanley, you don't understand. They have to stay. They need a place to hide!
Stanley Bernstein: And why is that?
Abraham Bernstein: Because the father is a scientist.

Reptilian Invasion, 27 May 2006
8/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The main cities of Earth are surprisingly visited by fifty-one huge alien spacecrafts, and their leader introduces themselves as a friend people looking for cooperation with earthlings. Sooner, they blame the scientists of sabotage and uprising against the visitors. The journalist Mike Donovan (Marc Singer) discloses the real intentions and the reptile appearance of the aliens, while groups of people organize resistance against the invaders.

"V" was a successful miniseries broadcasted in the 80's in Brazil. However, it has never been released on video or DVD in my country. I recently bought the imported DVD and after watching it, I still like this film a lot. The good story is an adaptation of a masquerade alien invasion with the Nazi actions and people reaction and resistance in Europe before and along World War II. After twenty-three years, this dramatic and full of action movie has not aged and is still one of the best science-fiction for TV. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Not Available"
