DVD Reviews of Farscape - The Peacekeeper Wars

DVD Review: peace keeper wars
Summary: 3 Stars

it wasn't too bad, live up the the series, lots if action and is well worth watching.

how ever its also the type of movie you proble only want to watch once.

DVD Review: Thanks for an amazing ride
Summary: 5 Stars

So the PK Wars wraps everything up thanks to the fans who would not let SCI-FI end it the way they did. Was this as good as an entire 5th season could have been, NO of course not. But given 3 arns to wrap everything up they do an amazing amazing job, and even leave it open ever so slightly for possible returns (granted with the time passed at this point getting the cast back could be tricky) But this conclusion to what I consider one of the greatest most tragically cancelled shows ever is simply astonishing. This movie pulls you back aboard Moya for one powerful run. The characters are all back, and the chemistry is all there. I actually missed the show the second the credits began. I hope there is some way to bring the cast and writers back for another movie, even if Direct to DVD like the stargate series has done. Whomever would produce that would make their money back in no time based on the fan following I have seen

DVD Review: outstanding conclusion to a classic SF series..
Summary: 5 Stars

this dvd mini-series completes the saga that was left hanging at the end of season 4 when there was a production hiatus....really this should be considered the last episodes of season 4, since there was no season 5.

Highly recommended for all Farscape fans.

DVD Review: farscape-peacekeeperwars
Summary: 5 Stars

Farscape is the BEST SciFi series of all time and this movie pays tribute to the worlds created, the creatures, the actors and the story....AWESOME!

DVD Review: Peacekeeper Wars
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a first rate finish to the TV series. This great classic adventure that was not as successful or widely known as Star Trek but was far more creative and edgy than Star Trek.

Description of Farscape - The Peacekeeper Wars

Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/14/2006 Run time: 182 minutes Rating: Nr

Created at least in part due to popular demand, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars will provide some closure to fans who were dismayed by the demise of the popular science fiction television show in 2003 and campaigned mightily to bring it back. 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
