The Dark Crystal (1982)

“Jim Henson had brought us the immortal Muppets and films like Labryrinth, but The Dark Crystal is a wonderful film, that was part of my childhood, as well as my brother's. A lot of effort clearly went into this, and it really does show, with the rich details of the characters. It tells the story of Jen, a Geffling who must return the Crystal shard to the dark Crystal, before the conjunction of the three suns, or the skeksies will rule forever. The film is recognised as fantastic by people, because of its clear symbolism and themes such as the personifications of good (the mysties) and the evil (the skeksies). The film is directed by the immensely talented duo Jim Henson and Frank Oz. The film looks dazzling,with fabulous visuals and very well staged sequences, and Jen and Kira are very eng” read more

"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.

" Notes: Eventually, I really did like this movie a lot but, somehow, it didn’t really blew me away though. First of all, on a technical level, it was indeed a really impressive feature. Indeed, those puppets and the sets just looked great and I really enjoyed the creatures, the characters and, basically, the whole fantasy world they managed to create which was just fascinating.

"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."

" It breaks my heart to say that I was not a fan of this film. I was expecting to adore it. It just so damned wonderful and in so many ways - it was. I love the craftsmanship behind it. The creature designs and world building is beautifully quirky, imaginative and sweetly innocent. Yet the story and characters that are presented fell completely flat for me. I did not get emotionally invested and I found eventually found the film to be more of a chore than something enjoyable."
