The Dark Crystal (1982)

An Extraordinary Film


I was 10 when this came out in theaters - I loved it! And watched it several times on the TV movie stations because it was so good. Jim Henson and Frank Oz are quite amazing puppeteers and directors - this film shows the extraordinary works of both men.

The over all look and feel to this film is as dark and mysterious as the story itself. While watching this movie there is a tendency to forget the characters are puppets because your focus will fall more on the story and sets instead of thinking "I'm watching puppets" during the entire film.

This is definitely a film for the entire family. It is a timeless masterpiece.

10/10
