Amazon.com:
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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Peacekeeper Wars
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A satisfying chapter...
...of one of the best sci-fi shows of all time. I won't say "end," but if that's how posterity remembers PK Wars, it could have done much, much worse.

Peacekeeper Wars, in short, does a superb job both tying up all dangling plot threads from the Farscape series and leaving openings for wherever the franchise goes next. The special effects, considering that it's a miniseries, are spectacular. The writing is even better--PK Wars loses nothing in the transition from show to miniseries. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - farscape conclusion
This 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: 4 out of 5 stars - Farscape: The Peace Keeper Wars
I 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: 5 out of 5 stars - Farscape ROCKS!!
This is the one to own I loved every minut
of it.. Farscape forever!!!
