V
Series · 1983
Planet Earth is visited by an alien race. Initially, they seem friendly and kind, but over time, their intentions become quite clear. Their peaceful façade quickly turns, also showing their true colors and their real intentions...
The sides of V
- Friendly aliens arriving in giant motherships
- Reptiles hiding under human skin
- A resistance like the one in occupied Europe
V is good for you if…
- you like an alien invasion told like a fascist takeover.
- you like a slow reveal of what the Visitors really want.
- you like the shock of a lizard under a human face.
V is bad for you if…
- you find 80s effects and rubber masks dated.
- you need the science of an invasion to hold up.
