jsh03 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.

Nicholas Jenkins Not allot to say other than Farscape was one of a small group of shows (the others being Buffy, Angel, and Firefly) that challenged the format of Sci-Fi Fantasy to be more than just cheeky, lumbering, effects extravaganzas. The Peacekeeper Wars is a great piece of science fiction film-making whether or not you've seen Farscape. It exists as a finale for the show that was unfortunately canceled after it's marvelous 4th season and fandom demanded the sci-fi channel admit to its boneheadedness by giving them some type of finale. Brian Henson, David Kemper, and Rokne S. O'Bannon deliver a wide reaching script (which stumbles a little more on dialog than the show's brilliant banter did) which serves at the 5th season we all wanted. Good stuff here, give it a try.

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.

Luke Houghton G'day I thought the final installment of the Farscape series is a testament to the hard work all the Farscape fans put into getting it up. 10 stars to all the nerds. Like most people I didn't really know what to expect given that my own country (Australia) didn't have the mental capacity to show it on public television (I am talking to you Mr. Packer). However, we waited for the DVD to come out as we can't (and won't) pay for cable and I must say we were NOT disappointed. A fitting end to a series that stretched the boundaries far and wide for us Sci-fi fans! There will be nothing this good ever again - watch it and learn to love it! From Australia (the country that brought you Farscape!)
