![]() On his way, he finds he is not the only Gelfling left when he meets Kira. The movie involves Jen’s quest to find the shard while trying to avoid certain death from the Skeksis and the Garthim. He is told that he can repair the crystal if he finds a shard and if he doesn’t before the three suns combine, it’s game over for the Skeksis. Our hero is a young Gelfling (young Gelfling would be a good hip-hop name) named Jen who is taken in by the Mystics as he is the last remaining Gelfling. Here’s a quick rundown (what the hell’s a rundown?) on what happened in the original Dark Crystal:ġ000 years ago there was a magical crystal that when cracked had two new races form from it: the Skeksis (who look a lot like Rahzar from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze) and the Mystics – sort of a Capulet and Montagues type situation. This gives the whole movie a much more realistic effect – better than when it seems like a real human in a pig costume was roller skating in the Muppets Take Manhattan… There’s a great balance between realistic-looking puppets but then real-life performances mixed in. ![]() I recently watched it and it holds up amazingly well and it’s still an incredible spectacle today considering how it’s pretty much a completely puppet based movie with little effects. Some were expecting a Muppet movie of some sort but that’s not what they got. This was the case for a lot of people too as they weren’t sure exactly what they were going into. I remember watching it at a friend’s house when it had first come out on video and being pretty overwhelmed with it. I had not seen the Dark Crystal in a long time. This will be a review of the whole series and each episode, but we’ll start with a look back on the original Dark Crystal to help set the stage. But with this, we are getting a ten-episode prequel. It’s something people had always been hoping for as far as a sequel is concerned. ![]() The Dark Crystal is a classic fantasy film and we return to it with The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance being released by Netflix.
