Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars (2004)

Excellent but underrated film

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's 60 solar days after the end of the TV series. The gang recovers the pieces of John Crichton (Ben Browder) and Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black). They get reconstituted but the baby is missing which has taken hold in Rygel. The water world is the home of the last of the Eidelon, a species with special abilities. The Peacekeepers and Scarrans are engaged in an all-out war. Scorpius senses the return of Crichton and withdraws from the battle in hopes of gaining the secret to a wormhole weapon.This is a continuation of the TV series. This is strictly fan service. It doesn't make sense unless one has seen the whole TV show all the way to the finale. The effects are slightly better than the show which is both good and bad. There is a charm to the low budget production and the movie isn't bad enough to wow. The story is disjointed. It feels like somebody is throwing everything and every character into the pot. It's to be expected as the movie is trying to do everything for the fans.

Thank heavens we had this.Everything that I said about the series, holds true for this.Great cast, great writing. I was so depressed when the series ended. I hadn't realized just how much I looked forward to being amused and interested.There was absolute garbage on TV at the time, and this was the only thing that wasn't mind-numbing pap for the masses. I remember there being lots of really stupid series bought from America at the time.This was gold in a sea of crap television.A great finish for a great series. That's entertainment!

The television show "Farscape" is perhaps one of the best I have ever watched. I sat fascinated through the 88 episodes, whether I was laughing, crying, or cheering on the crew of Moya. But this mini-series lacks the feel of the television series (which it began to lose in its fourth season). It feels like any old sci-fi movie - not like Farscape. The cameos of old characters seem a bit forced, the plot is cliché, the battles are uninteresting (and much to long and unrealistic). JC and the crew of Moya are *not* heroes - thats what makes them so fun to watch, they are just looking out for themselves, trying to survive in a dangerous universe - so why force them into that role in this movie? Its unfortunate that such a fantastic show has to go out by such a terrible movie. It could have - should have been - much better. Its not terrible, but I rate it a 1 in hopes of dropping its too generous score as is. I rate the show 10. Check that out, then watch this if you love the show, but don't keep your hopes too high.

A very nice ending to a very nice series. The Peacekeeper Wars maintains its moodiness while still managing to be an out and out sci fi presentation. The plot lines left painfully dangling are wrapped up with no cop outs (ie, lets just forget the whole Aeryn and Crichton being dead thing and bring them back with no explanation, FYI, that did not happen). The only downside is, unlike Serenity, you really had to see the series to fully appreciate the movie (it might have something to do with the fact that Farscape got more backstory in 4 seasons that Firefly did in just 1). This film/miniseries/whatever you want to call it is stylishly done with brilliant action set pieces and heart breaking deaths (telling you who dies might just give too much away and my humble spoiler alert would not be enough) and at the end of the film when Crichton holds up his baby, you can't help but go all warm and tingly inside.
