A
little over a year has passed since the events of the first mini-series,
where do things stand now? The resistance, broken but not beaten,
has begun to reassemble. Mike Donavan and Julie Parish have become
closer as Mike continues to battle his mother and search for his
son. The Visitors are continuing to hide their secret identities
and objectives while still plundering Earth of it's resources
and now it's population for food for the long trip home. Last
but not least the little intergalactic shag fest between alien
lizard stud Brian and horny Earth teen Robin Maxwell is about
to come to fruition. From the life and death birth of Robin's
child, the resistance may discover the secret weapon they have
been waiting for. Brace yourselves for the final battle.
This
is the conclusion of the mini-series and the beginning of the
soon to be television series.
This
chapter is a good closing to the story but a weak tie in to the
TV series, mainly because the Visitors were handed a pretty solid
ass kicking this time around.
New
to V this time around is are Robert Englund (Freddy) as Willy
the good hearted and naive alien who is taken in by the resistance
for experimentation and research. He also serves as wet nurse
in the birthing of Robin's child. We also meet Harmony this time
around who falls in love with Willy, despite his forked tounge
and lidless eyes. But the main addition to the story arch this
time is the introduction of alien ass kicker Ham Tyler, played
by Micheal Ironside. Tyler brings in some much needed firepower
and balls to the resistance. Tyler is the perfect anti-hero to
the "Gooder" hero of Marc Singer's Donavan character.
The
birth of the babies is a mix of sadness and horror, I won't spoil
what happens for those of you who have not seen it, but I really
felt for the newborns, and it was a very moving moment for a sci-fi/horror
flick.
In
the end however the story holds up quite well and I liked this
one more than the original series. A lot more action, more alien
effects and a great final battle between good and evil, not bad.
