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

Great Finale.......2007-09-03
Farscape creators did an excellent job bringing closure to this adventure. We learned even more about John's hidden wormhole knowledge and more about Jool's ancestors and their link to the human race. I won't say too much for those of you that have not caught up with the series but please keep in mind it is indeed a great end to a very fun adventure. Alhough it was a great ending, there is definitely room for more.
Incidentally there is talk about Farscape webisodes so it seems to me that the adventure will continue if Ben Browder and Claudia Black can sign on for the much talked about webisodes.
Why did it have to end.........2007-08-24
Claudia Black has always been a Fav actress of mine and she realy nails it in Farscape.. This was a series I didn't want to end.. Peace keeper wars explained a fair bit that was missing..
Peacekeeper Wars.......2007-07-28
If you watched the whole series from day one, this movie is a must have. It ties together most everything that was left hanging from the series. Awesome!
Phenomenal.......2007-07-09
I have been a Farscape fan for a long while and bought this when it first came available. This is a fitting conclusion to Farscape. While I would have absolutely LOVED a season 5, this will do. This is also one of the 2 movies that made me cry; the other being The Passion. I will not spoil it for those who maybe have not seen this yet, but I am not one who normally cries over a movie or mini, but I wept like a baby after watching this. It is typical Farscape; expect the unexpected. Watch this, love this, enjoy this.
Loved it!.......2007-07-01
I really like Farscape, so all I can say about it is positive. The characters are superb, the plots are good, and the humour is welcomed!
Really like the romance between Aeryn and Chricton, because it's not typical, and loved Chiana becauzse she is so cheeky! ;)
It was a good way to give clousere to the serie. But I have to recognize I'm still shocked it got cut... it was an awesome production!!!!!! Going to better all the way!!!!

finally, a good ending for a fantastic series!!!!.......2005-08-21
The Peacekeeper Wars made up for the very poor ending of the series. It tied up all the loose ends, and it had a good ending. I do wish they had not killed off one of the main characters though for he was my favorite.
This DVD is great to have if you own all of the seasons on DVD as well.
