The Dark Crystal—defines
creativity—shows imagination at its highest levels and credits the levels of
artistic ability to which Jim Henson and Frank Oz rise when telling a story.
Much hard work and effort show in every scene of the film with excessive
attention to detail. Despite its age, it is a tribute to artists as much in the
year 2019 as in the year 1982.
Storyline
The age-old battle
between good and evil continues as the Skeksis battle the Mystics.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes.
It’s incredible that with the equipment they had to work with in 1982 that such
a beautiful piece of art could be created. It would be interesting to see if
there could be improvements with current equipment. Sometimes perfection
whether it is music produced by Beethoven or art produced by Michelangelo/Leonardo
da Vinci continues to stand as little pieces of perfection no matter the age or
time. It’s called ‘standing the test of time’ and this movie will always do
that.
