The Peacekeepers' last, best hope lies in astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder), an earthling who joined them when he was drawn into a wormhole in space. Can Crichton find a way to lead the Peacekeepers back through the same wormhole before they're destroyed by the Scarrans? Produced in part due to the volatile reaction from fans after Farscape was canceled with many plot threads left unresolved, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars also features original cast members Claudia Black, Anthony Simcoe, Jonathan Hardy, Paul Goddard, and Gigi Edgley. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Astronaut John Crichton, who has spent the last 4 years marooned in deep space in the company of a band of outlaw misfits, is caught in the middle of an interstellar conflict that threatens the entire galaxy. During its run, the Buck Rogers inspired Farscape regularly veered betw... read moreeen the sublime and the ridiculous, offering a blend of adventure, comedy and colourful characters that was consistently entertaining. This miniseries was created to offer a conclusion to the story after it was cancelled, and as a result suffers from the kind of inconsistencies and compromises that were inevitable in trying to tie up four seasons worth of plot threads. It does however capture the fun of the series as we see the final showdown between the Peacekeepers and the Scarran empire and Scorpius, probably the best sci-fi villain since Darth Vader, finally persuades John to build his doomsday weapon. It offers all the same strengths and weaknesses of the TV show, including effects of variable quality, exciting space battles and firefights, some rather lame and clunky soapiness and a wealth of larger than life villains all presented with a welcome dash of tongue in cheek humour. In fact, at its best, Farscape is the TV show that has come the closest to matching the magic of the original Star Wars film. It will be completely incomprehensible to anyone who has not seen the series but in The Peacekeeper Wars, fans will find a satisfying conclusion to their beloved space opera. And its a lot better than most of the Trek films.

    Certainly one for fans with its relentless tying of loose ends and its heavy dependence on prior knowledge of characters and background (a` la Star Trek etc ...). Cut down somewhat from the original release, it would have benefited from still more cutting as, if you're not totall... read morey in love with the characters, it can feel flabby and tedious at times in what IS a long "film". The parts that held my attention were actually good but there were not sufficient of them in relation to its running time for this to be a good film.

    Haven't you read the Super Villain's Handbook? This is where you're supposed to twirl your mustache and gloat.

    Not as good as the series but still really fantastic. I'm so glad the Scapers kept pushing and got this movie made.

    well done ..ya gotta love john hehe I was sad to see this series end...only to find 2 of them on SG-1

    I'm one of those odd ducks that loves both Star Wars and Star Trek. Still, I fully believe Farscape is the BEST sci-fi show of them all.

    This was my favorite TV series to watch. The dynamic interplay of the characters is what kept me coming back each week. This movie was a fitting tribute to end the series and placate all of us whining fans.
  • August 5, 2008
    This was a very good movie. I was sad when it was over though - partially because I had pratically just started watching the show. This was a wonderful ending to a great sci-fi series.
  • July 1, 2008
    Great movie not the way I would have like to see the series end though... Cause I didn't want it to end, why did it end? Cry.
