A fitting climax, a schizophrenic mix of apocalyptic doom and black humor, is accomplished with epic ambition and bright, funky, fantastic alien designs and skyscapes. Some of the effects are decidedly on the cheap side, but the wildly imaginative visions more than make up for such shortcomings. As epic science fiction, Lexx is a little underdone, but the darkly ironic twists that bring the history and prophecies introduced in I Worship His Shadow full circle have a satisfying sense of absurd self-destruction. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of Lexx - Giga Shadow
The End or the Beginning? "The Gigashadow is the end of the beginning and the beginning of the end." intones the time prophet at the beginning of the video. This was a good episode, with some closure for his Divine Shadow, some explanation about why it was so integral for the Brunnen-G to end his order, and the end of the cluster. There's even a shower scene of Stan in this one--I suspect there would never be a shower scene of Kai, or more bizarre, 790. I liked the baby cluster lizard.
The end of the Shadows is only the beginning
Malcolm McDowell (of the Wing Commander live-action video games, Star Trek: Generations, and the short lived "updated" version of Fantasy Island) was supurb as the tortured man who is forced to become the one known as the Giga Shadow, who represents the end and the beginning of the cycle of shadows. The crew of the LEXX puts their two cents into the pot, allowing the prophecy involving Kai to come to pass.This final movie out of the shadow series served as a springboard for the main series, which is now available on DVD.
" Parallel Universe" movies not exactly parallel with "Lexx"
I sorta joined the "Lexx" saga somewhat late, beginnig with the Fire/Water story line on the SCI FI channel. The quirky satire of the show immediately caught my fancy, and although as the show progressed it became even more outrageous and obsessed with sexual matters, I always made it a point to catch all the episodes or arrange that they be videotaped.
With a busy schedule it was difficult for me to catch up on the past episodes (other than what SCI FI had rerun), and I had always assumed that "Lexx" began as an hour-long series on SCI FI. That is, until I checked the local library for video loans, and was surprised to find out that the series had in fact originated as a "mini-series" of TV movies ("Tales From thr Parallel Universe") originally aired on Showtime.
The second surprise was discovering that Eva Halbermann had originally played the part of Zev prior to Xenia Seeberg (both actresses performing excellently). But the third surprise was that the quartet of TV movies was more "straight" science fiction, with an added twist of broad satire and comedy, as opposed the TV show which esentially evolved into the reverse, with the stir, comedy and sex becoming the ain thrust (no pun intended).
The "evolution" of Lexx certainly started (or accelerated) after the change from Halbermann to Seeberg on the TV show. In finally viewing the made-for-TV movies I have to admit that, without impugning the later "Lexx" TV episodes, I enjoyed the quartet of movies MUCH more, because they concentrated more on basic plot, premise and characterization, rather than worrying about what to satirize next.
I think anyone who enjoys (enjoyed) the "Lexx" series SHOULD love all four of these "Parallel Univese" movies, and perhaps even those who did NOT favor the series will nontheless appreciate these fine films.
