Very well executed
Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
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.
The problem with Science Fiction series is that they are either killed off before their time (like the Original Star Trek) or they overstay their welcome until you wonder what the point was. (all the Star Trek sequel series, pretty much.) Farscape was canceled by the Sci-Fi channel in 2003, merely proving that the people who run the Sci-Fi Channel shouldn't be allowed outside without adult supervision. Sadly, this resulted in the producers of Farscape leaving us with an unresolved cliffhanger on Season 4 that left us gasping with no promise of resolution.Skiffy somewhat redeemed itself (sorry, I still can't forgive them for 500 CGI monster movies they've added to film history) by allowing a four hour miniseries that had our intrepid crew reunited for one more mission to tie up all the loose plot points.Farscape is always carried by Ben Bowder as John Creighton, an American Astronaut who finds himself dealing with the insanity of the "uncharted territories" and the unique races and cultures he encounters. The supporting cast is all there, all giving it their best, even the ones who are muppets. (And sorry, some Farescape Muppets are more interesting than Star Trek people). What we get is a movie which is exciting, sad, funny and totally satisfying.
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.
I watched glued eyed the series, that I must recommend you watch from season 1-4 before watching the Peacekeeper Wars and will tell you that if you do watch the series, even if your not into sci fi I will guarantee that you will love the show! The mini series puts to bed lots of plot lines left open from the ending of season four.Peacekeeper Wars, I had to pinch myself to remind me that this is made for television, the effects are fantastic the acting and characters brilliant.I would have loved to see the mini series at a cinema! and once Farscape goes into syndiction in September 2005 I am sure the series will become even more popular! If they never make anymore Farscape then Peacekeeper Wars has made sure the show goes out on a high.10 out of ten Please, please make a Movie !
