"Rated: PG Why itâs rated: Itâs called The Dark Crystal. For a very good reason."

" Jim Henson's fantasy epic The Dark Crystal doesn't take place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but like Star Wars it takes the audience to a place that exists only in the imagination and, for an hour and a half, on the screen. Recalling the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien, Henson tells the story of a race of grotesque birdlike lizards called the Skeksis, gnomish dragons who rule their fantastic planet with an iron claw. A prophecy tells of a Gelfling (a small elfin being) who will toppl"

"Thra Thra was a planet located in the Uni-Verse orbited by three suns and three moons. It was nourished by the Crystal, and was home to Aughra and numerous sentient races, including the Gelfling and Podlings.

"As with The NeverEnding Story, I had a love hate relationship, with this movie. For many, many, mean, reasons. First, there is the Skeksis, then there are scenes were the Podlings, get tortured, then there is a dinning room scene, and the Garthim. To, me back then, the movie was like one big, Muppet filled snuff film. Oh, they definitely got the dark part, of the title right. "

"3.2. Hensonin ja kumppaneiden erikoistehoste- ja nukkeosaaminen on edelleen huikeaa jälkeä, mutta kliseinen tarina uppoaa kyllä täysin itseensä."
