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

There's no way they could leave us hanging after the fourth season. I'm very glad they made this movie to wrap up the show.

While I wish the series had not been cancelled, I glad that with this film they were able to wrap up the series.
Very enjoyable.

This is a great movie to go with a wonderful series. My husband bought this for me. I don't think there has been a better sci fi show.

The Peacekeeper Wars was a good ending to the series but feels rushed at times because in a few short hours it had to close a series that was supposed to have an entire 5th season instead.
That being said, everyone involved did a very good job. I greatly enjoyed the series finale, and hope you do to!

What a finish! Each season got better and better. This was no let down. Well-written, acted, directed and produced. Wrapped up all the story arcs well. It's a shame the series had to end so abruptly, but this is a great wrap-up for all the Scapers who were left hanging. Definite must buy for any fan and entertaining with enough backstory for even the newest of viewers.
