Does this make a good and understandable movie for anyone who has NEVER see even a single episode of the show before? I've even barely heard the name Farscape ever mentioned before, so I know nothing about it, but the movie has good ratings and I like sci-fi, so... Will it make sense or is a background knowledge into the characters, etc, somewhat essential to really enjoy it?
shareI'd say you at least need to watch the last five episodes of the series.
shareIt's a wrap up of the four years of the television show, I would (and did) watch the four seasons first. It's a better experience.
shareJohn does give a recap of what happened in the four years to the Aliens that shot him when they bring him and Aeryn back. But you may need a fan of the show to explain some things too you.
shareYea they give quick recap of teh events so you can watch it without being lost but some stuff might not make as much sense and it will be harder to follow. But you'd still be able to watch it and understand for the most part what is happening.
I'd compare it somewhat to watching Serenity without having seen Firefly first. You can follow it but it's a very different experience when you know all teh background.
Yes.
