The Dark Crystal is a fantasy film that follows Jen (Stephen Garlick), who is tasked to save his people by restoring the cracked dark crystal before it's too late. It's a typical heroes tale, the story and dialogue nothing you've never heard of, but The Dark Crystal has since garnered a cult following and continues to stand the test of time because it's a technical wonder. The first live-action film to feature zero humans, it features special effects, physical contraptions, beautiful scenery, and of course impressive puppets crafted by director Jim Henson, the same pupeteering mastermind behind The Muppets and Labyrinth. The film's magical world of Thra was expanded in the Netflix series of the same name, which itself has garnered great acclaim from critics and fans alike.
