Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
XweAponX I still have my "Wanted: Farscape Season 5" posters on my wall, they have been there since Season 4 was being shown.This is by all accounts a true Farscape story - But it feels like the continuity which had built up in Farscape the Series was broken somehow. Changes in Jool's appearance, In Rygel's, In Sikozu, in Jothee, even in "War Minister Akhna" (Chricton's Real Life Wife Francesca Buller - Who was also the great character from S1E20 "M'Lee")- All worked against me initially in my own suspension of disbelief. In fact, this story had lost some of the unique 'Farscapese" which we loved week after week, I can never imagine Rygel using the phrase "Don't get your Knickers in a Twist" - He would have used some other more disgusting (and alien) words. Also, Guy Gross' Music is not very Farscapish or Subvisionish, it is traditional - Not like the show at all, although he did almost 3 seasons worth of music.But as the story gets more involved, that continuity returns and we once again enter Tormented Space and The Uncharted Territories which is where Moya and crew were when last we looked.Had we a season 5, there would have been more explanation of why "Grunchlk" was still alive and exactly why Chiana could see across "Unrealized Realities", also we never really got into what Sikozu really was, other than what is shown here.And it also seems that the Skarran Empre was not slowed down one bit by the destruction of Staleek's "Bird of Paradise" farm, and they are kicking the pants off of the Peacekeepers.If this story had been told across a 22-Episode 5th season, maybe we could have gotten those answers. But here has to end the story of John and Aeryn. Unfortunately, some other stories end here as well, which what upset me most. Mostly because it meant "No More Farscape" in it's current form.What made Farscape unique was the involvement of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, So putting on this Mini Series was difficult enough, a year after the cancellation of Farscape- Some of the series production design did not transfer over well, maybe this was due to destruction of original sets, but even in the series, those were destroyed as well, in the episodes. Moya survived well, she looked great on the inside and outside.The best part of this was probably the last few visits John has with "Harvey" - And I never understood why John called Scorpie's Neural Clone "Harvey" until this was shown, then the reference to the 1950 Jimmy Stewart film became clear. After that, I was able to visit all of the episodes where John talks to Harvey and it makes a lot more sense.John Chicton was a walking, talking encyclopedia of Movie and TV knowledge, spouting phrases in Klingon, even taking on the mantle of The Roadrunner from the WB Cartoons. It's what made Farscape great, and so in this last Farscape "Episode" John Chricton is in fine Chricton form. As is Ka D'Argo. Unfortunately, Pa'u Zhaan never was found by Stark, or at least we never saw that. But even Stark is perfectly Stark, now that he shaved his head again. And Chiana was a great Chiana. But when I saw Sikozu, I asked "who is That?" Maybe it was the influence of being Scorpies Girlfriend. Scorpy, mystery as he is, has become the most Human he can ever be, even to the point of trusting someone and having feeling for them. Poor Scorpy, he cold not help being Scorpy. Jool was great, but not enough of her, my favorite 3rd season Moya Passenger.It was mainly the little details that made Farscape the phenomena it was, and some of those were lost, but many of them remained- Enough remained for one last Starburst into The Uncharted Territories.
Melissa Mendelson All he wanted was to reach for the stars, break new ground. He never dreamed of finding this place or the ones that he now calls friends. He never imagined discovering her and the love that fueled his heart, but crisis after crisis nearly tore them apart. He always thought that monsters hid in the closet or beneath the bed and never in plain sight, but there he was, the one that would never let go. And he tangoed with death, slipping through enemy hands, but he still remained their prisoner. And all he ever wanted was to reach for the stars and change the course of history, but fate had other plans. And he was sucked down into a portal to an unimagined world that has become his home, and for three years, his journey blazed across the Farscape.Distant stars shimmered across the darkness, burning with hope. Time melted away into dreams, and the past finally let go. The season of death was over, but lives would never be forgotten. And new beginnings held to the strings of the heart, and bittersweet tears fell like gentle rain. And destiny said farewell, leaving him at his journey's end, but his legacy remains, the story of an astronaut, John Crichton. And forever would we remember a brilliant journey carried over an ocean of imagination, gripping us in suspense, and touching our hearts with passion and love. And we say good-bye to the Farscape.
JoeB131 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.
tbernhardt I have always been a SCI-FI fan. I watched every Star Trek series, Battlestar Galactica ( old & new ) and every other series that has appeared on TV. When a new show was starting on SCI-FI called Farscape, I gave it a try .. and was I ever surprised. It has created a new standard by which all other SCI-FI shows will be judged.It had action, humor, suspense & GREAT characters !I was very disappointed when it was canceled by SCI-FI. But when Peacekeeper Wars aired they redeemed themselves. It was a GREAT conclusion to several of the loose ends & left open the possibility of further journeys in the Farscape world. I can't say enough about the Peacekeeper Wars mini series … it was GREAT !!!!I look forward to seeing John, Aeryn, D'Argo ( he will return ), Moya, Rygel, Chiana, Scorpy and Pilot again !!!! Bring on more Farscape !!!!
