Review of The Dark Crystal (1982) by Phil H — 09 Oct 2011
For effects, design, style, puppetry, art and story, this film is 100% Henson genius, fantastic looking and beautifully told in a Muppet cross dark live action tale of wizards and magic in another world.
Its quite dark for kids and will scare, but its a twisted fairytale thats just stunning in concept and production. The creatures and detail is perfect, everything works well in their own way and is crafted by skilled craftsmen/women. The only problem is its alittle dull and maybe too dark for its targeted audience.
Along with 'Labyrinth' this film is another fantastic puppetry film from Henson which simply cannot fail to impress and show modern films how to really look good, wonderful.
