Indeed, this miniseries (originally broadcast over two nights on the Sci-Fi Channel) will likely appeal primarily to the Farscape faithful, as the somewhat convoluted storyline may prove baffling to the uninitiated. A brief bit of backstory explains how John Crichton, an astronaut from Earth, went through a wormhole and ended up on Moya, a living spaceship, with a motley group of aliens, including D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe), Chiana (Gigi Edgley), various puppet characters (designed by the Jim Henson Company), and Aeryn (Claudia Black), Crichton's love interest, who's expecting their first child. As The Peacekeeper Wars begins, our heroes find themselves in the middle of a war-to-end-all-wars between the lizard-like, implacably evil Scarrans and their rivals, the Peacekeepers. Crichton is the lynchpin in all of this, as his knowledge of "wormhole technology" is coveted by all, including his old nemesis Scorpius (Wayne Pygram), who captured and tortured Crichton back in season 1 and with whom Crichton must now form an uneasy alliance against the Scarrans. Over the course of the three-hour miniseries, we get lots of weird- and cool-looking aliens, some nice sets and special effects, plenty of battles, and lots of portentous talk about the fate of the universe--nothing especially original, but all presented with outstanding production values. There's drama and action, love and betrayal, tragedy and triumph, war and, ultimately, peace, with a suitably spectacular ending (and a nod to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey). With a 30-minute "making of" documentary among the DVD special features, The Peacekeeper Wars is a fitting way to end the Farscape saga. --Sam Graham Average Rating:
 Rating:  - farscape conclusionThis was the conclusion to the series made later on, too long after the series was cancelled. They did a good job of concluding the story, however the majic of the regular season episodes was partly lost and it seemed like too many battles and not enough drama. Too bad the sci-fi channel cut it down in it's prime. Farscape was one of the best shows ever on TV. Rating:  - Farscape: The Peace Keeper WarsI really enjoyed the premise behind this movie. I have only one real complaint. At the end it stated to be continued and so far I haven't seen a part two. Rating:  - Farscape ROCKS!!This is the one to own I loved every minut of it.. Farscape forever!!! Rating: - Sci Fi ending to a get series.......Peacekeeper Wars is a movie for those of us who love Sci-Fi this was so much fun. The story is classic, the acting is wonderful a pleasure to watch over and over.Farscape (series) gets you acquainted with all the characters and the story line. Great fun, great tales and very uplifting in the end. Rating: - Impressive What They Did in a Single MovieFarscape's Peacekeeper Wars is very well edited and put together. Keep in mind, that when you create a movie to wrap up loose ends (because you were cancelled before the character arcs could be completed, etc.) that you have to also adjust it to meet the needs of newbies, people who have not followed the Farscape saga. Clearly, the producer and editors addressed this problem and made it functional, but it is still a difficult hurdle to cross for the uninitiated. The movie is luscious ... Read More |
