Dark Crystal Notations et commentaires
- fliamora230 janvier 2025Deep message into a beautifully accomplished movie. After 40 years, still looks greatly made. One of my favorites.
- Richard12 octobre 2025This one’s not just a film, it’s a rite of passage. The Dark Crystal was Jim Henson and Frank Oz at their most daring, crafting a world without a single human actor, where puppets carried the weight of myth, emotion and eerie beauty. If you saw it in the cinema, you remember the awe. On TV, it felt like a secret broadcast from another realm. And owning it on DVD? That was a commitment to wonder. Set on the alien world of Thra, the story follows Jen, a Gelfling tasked with restoring a broken crystal before the sinister Skeksis plunge everything into darkness. The visuals are pure handcrafted magic—Brian Froud’s designs, the Creature Shop’s puppetry and Trevor Jones’s sweeping score all combine into something timeless. It’s dark, yes, but never cruel. It’s fantasy with teeth, but also heart. Watching it now, it still holds up. The artistry, the ambition, the atmosphere, it’s all still there. And knowing it inspired Age of Resistance decades later only deepens its legacy. They don’t make them like this anymore and maybe they never did.
- Aaron Slade13 mars 2025They will never make anything like this ever again! The Dark Crystal scared the s%$t out of me as a young kid in the early 80s. It was so eerie and bizarre. Watching as an adult, I feel so lucky to have grown up with films like this for kids rather than the Disney slop that comes out now.
- nnhg2317 mars 2026Really good dark fantasy movie
- csortega8 février 2026The Dark Crystal is a visually striking fantasy whose charm lands strongest with younger viewers. Its world‑building is imaginative and its creatures captivating, but adults may find the story thin and the pacing uneven. A nostalgic curiosity for grown‑ups, a full‑blown adventure for kids.
- kotab2 janvier 2026It was a pretty good film not bad but not the best film I have ever seen in my life
- adam.cur27 avril 2025Favorite all time epic type movie.
- Tater1234526 décembre 2025Pretty good
- Lilly26 mars 2025A true classic of my childhood. I have enjoyed watching the series of the dark crystal age of resistance, and needed to see the movie again. I love the workmanship and artistry of the puppets. I wish i could show more appreciation for this movie and the creators. I hope one day they can finish the series, this story deserves to be finished in its modern video quality.
- NonPlayableContent22 septembre 2025Jim Henson being in this means its cannon in the Muppet universe for my head cannon. Clearly the dark crystal world is where all Muppets are born originally. This is dark fantasy with live action / practical effects of the highest caliber, a movie that genuinely never gets old and holds its place in a lot of hearts.
- Ch1co19 décembre 2025Great kids movies 🎬
- flavo4321 novembre 2025The Dark Crystal is a rare kind of fantasy film: one that feels like you’ve stepped into a completely self-contained myth, not just a movie. Its original story and meticulously built world of Gelflings, Skeksis, and Mystics are extraordinary, rich with lore that absolutely deserved a sequel—even if that continuation took many years to arrive. The puppetry work of Jim Henson and Frank Oz broke new ground, creating expressive, tactile characters without a single human face on screen. Their craftsmanship set a standard for practical creature effects that has essentially never been repeated at this scale. Every frame feels hand-crafted, from the eerie landscapes to the smallest background critter. While the pacing and tone may feel unusual compared to today’s fast-cut fantasy, that deliberate rhythm gives the film a dreamlike, storybook quality. The Dark Crystal remains a bold, singular achievement in worldbuilding and cinematic artistry that still inspires awe.
- Kadammmm4 octobre 2025A classic display of the darker side of Jim Henson. A tale set in a faraway place with a young boy who must set out on an adventure that will test him and his friends to the fullest. Top notch imagery and puppeteer work. A childhood favorite of mine and still entertains my kids today.
- Casper Hørning28 novembre 2024Really good
