"Jim Hensen classic"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A great movie for the family that inspires the imagination. Not suitable for younger children as I found out recently… I must have been older than I thought when I watched it for the first time! It's amazing what lengths people used to go to create a whole world before computers took over the movie scene. Love it!

I've always loved this movie ever since I was little. I've watched it a lot since getting it.

"An amazing classic."

From such great minds as Jim Henson and Frank Oz come one of the most inspiring and imaginative tales of its era. And it still has an impact as an ageless classic.

Description

The Dark Crystal

THE DARK CRYSTAL is a masterful live-action fantasy starring some of Jim Henson's most imaginative creatures ever! Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz and produced by Gary Kurtz (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back), THE DARK CRYSTAL brilliantly weaves a timeless myth of Good and Evil!

In another time, THE DARK CRYSTAL- a source of Balance and Truth in the Universe – was shattered, dividing the world into two factions: the wicked Skeksis and the peaceful Mystics. Now, as the convergence of the three suns approaches, the Crystal must be healed, or darkness will reign forever.

The task falls upon Jen – the last of his race – to fulfill the prophecy that a Gelfling will return the missing shard to the crystal and destroy the Skeksis' evil empire. But will young Jen's courage be any match for the unknown dangers that await him?

Critic Reviews:

  • " Though the puppet technology wasn't adequate in 1982 for Jim Henson's imagi­nation, Dark Crystal still possesses an innate, undeniable magic. " – Christopher Lloyd
  • " The puppetry is incredible. Unbelievable how fluid it is with such great attention to detail. " – Rachel Wagner
  • " The Dark Crystal has an ethereal alien quality to its startling visions, far removed from the Earth-bound contours of traditional fairy tales. " – Ian Nathan
