jakimiku Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars is the conclusion of the amazing show of Farscape which ran for four seasons. The cliff-hangers of the 88th episode needed wrapping up and this is what The Peacekeeper Wars is all about.I was a major fan of Farscape from the first moment i laid my eyes on it and for that matter, i was very happy that The Peacekeeper Wars did not disappoint. The story ends up all the quests and adventures of John, his love Aeryn and their friends on Moya. This is the conclusion of one of the most brilliant shows which had it all: action, adventure, romance, humor, drama. Many of the questions left from season four get answered here, the writers had so much heart not to leave anything to chance. This is why we owe thanks to this mini-series that did not leave us wondering what could have been, but offered us a deserving ending to the wonderful Farscape.The story is more different from the previous episodes, even the title points out that we get bigger action scenes and battles never before seen on Farscape. All that, the Peacekeeper Wars still holds true to the show: focus is kept on the characters and the events that happen to them. Acting is again marvelous and the cinematography mind-blowing.I say a big thanks to Farscape, because it truly has one of the best stories and best characters around. The show provided lots of emotions and i really, really love it. Farscape is amazing.
capra Farscape is an excellent series and I highly recommend it to all sci-fi fans. For various reasons I was not able to see the full series on TV when it was originally shown. I have recently watched series 1 to 4 and PKW on DVD and I was amazed at the first-class quality of the the series. Farscape is the best sci-fi show I have seen. The major characters were all likable, the story lines were fantastic and the FX and makeup were outstanding.I advise any newcomers to Farscape to watch it all on DVD or Blu-Ray; you won't be disappointed. Some of us yearn to travel the universe, alas it will never be. But shows like Farscape enable us to fulfill our dreams, even if only for an hour at a time. Thank you Farscape.
Lyceus I love Farscape and I'm happy they made Peacekeeper Wars so the show wouldn't end in Season 4's cliffhanger. However, I don't think the miniseries was as good as the wonderful Season 4. I guess it's just hard to tell in 3 hours what would have filled a whole new season... That's true, but there are things that still annoy me. The actors are great as usual, but a lot of good and bad things come from the writer's work.Since I've checked the spoilers option, please make sure you don't read this unless you've already seen the miniseries or you don't care about it. This comment is full of spoilers.First, let's start with what I liked: 1) It's a nice conclusion to John and Aeryn's storyline, which I wasn't sure we'd ever get. The fact that his son is named D'Argo is predictable but a nice detail in my opinion. The Peacekepper-Scarran conflict which was growing up since Season 2 was featured too.2) Great script. As usual, the writers made a good job with dialogs (Aeryn telling Rygel they'll name the baby after him if they're a girl, or the fun in Noranti's carrying a weapon).3) Jothee is back. This was a major unsolved plot and I'm glad he met D'Argo again so they stopped being enemies.4) Jool dies. I know many people won't agree but I never really liked Jool and she's the only character besides Pilot I would haven't been bothered about their death. It was nice to have her back to get killed so quickly.Now, what I didn't like: 1) Why did D'Argo have to die? He wasn't one of my favourite characters but he was important in the show and I liked him. And now Chiana is alone in this world! Why didn't they kill Pilot instead? This isn't a major flaw though, since it was obvious more people had to die and at least John and Aeryn survives.2) I don't like the fact Noranti is underused. I've just found out Melissa Jaffer had a problem with makeup and she couldn't have a larger part, so I can't blame anyone on this.3) The main flaw is how they writers wrote Sikozu's part. She was absolutely out of character! His hair was terrible but it was obviously a Scorpius influence so I'll ignore it even if I didn't recognize her at first. I can't understand why a Kalish resistance member like Sikozu would become a Scarran spy. She was so smart and loyal to the resistance! In "We're So Screwed: Part 3 (La Bomba)" she's afraid anyone would reveal anything about the resistance to the Scarran, and just two months later, she's working for the enemy. And how did the Scarrans contact her? She was in a Peacekeeper ship with Scorpius, and I'm sure he'd have noticed if she had contacted the Scarrans. She couldn't be a traitor since the beginning since she was a resistance fighter who used her powers to kill Scarrans... Still, she helped her friends to get out of the Scarran ship, so I don't know what to think about Sikozu in the miniseries. She was one of my favourite characters and they absolutely ruined her in the miniseries. I guess it's implied she dies at the end, too. Since we didn't have an actual death scene (we didn't have it for D'Argo either, but I guess he may have been too wounded), I think we can still imagine she got out of the planet. I like the Sikozu/Scorpius relationship and I don't like it ended like that. At least Braca would be happy.In conclusion, it was good but I can't forgive the writers for what they did to Sikozu... I have never seen something like that.
GregDexter Well, this is a first for me at IMDb; I've actually lowered my original rating of a movie because of its existing high rating! As I write this, I am in the middle of watching IMDb's highest-rated movies of 2004. This movie sticks out like a sore thumb in that list -- proof that a couple of thousand overzealous fans can indeed foul the IMDb ratings for everyone."Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" is a decent mindless-escape movie, with plenty of good ideas, a reasonable plot, and a mostly interesting cast of characters. However, the problems begin with the actors who try to play those characters; most of them are awful! Ben Browder, in particular, spends this movie appearing to try to ad lib lines in a Bruce Campbell/older Eddie Murphy sort of way; he's terrible at it and produces far more groans than chuckles. And if the lines aren't ad libbed, then this has to be some of the most poorly written dialogue in history. If this is good acting or good material, then the original "Star Wars" movie should have had an Oscar-nominated Best Screenplay and all of its stars should have gotten acting nods as well. And "The X-Files" should have swept the Emmys every year it was on -- including the last two.Even when I haven't agreed with the existing rating on movies I've rated at IMDb in the past, I can usually see what it was that people loved about a given highly-regarded film. But at three hours long, a movie simply has to have better acting and dialogue than this to be truly be enjoyable -- no matter what its genre. If you're not already a fan of Farscape and you aren't of the mindset that *any* sci-fi movie is a good sci-fi movie, don't touch this one with a ten-foot pole. There is plenty of better fare available in the genre.
