About this movie

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 for evermore! It's up to 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. (Original Title - The Dark Crystal) (c) 2007 TM & © 1982, 2007 The Jim Henson Company. All Rights Reserved.

Loved this film as a kid. Watched it yesterday before watching the series and have to say I still love it and was blown away by the quality and depth of the series after binge watching the whole thing start to finish. Amazing storytelling at its finest. Jim Henson would be proud. So glad they kept with puppetry and not complete cgi, as the nostalgia and wonder was maintained which is something some many movies lack these days sadly.

I don't know what to think about this movie because the acting is bad, but it is a very old movie so. ?
