The Dark Crystal (1982)
Directed by Jim Henson
& Frank Oz this film features the voice talent of Stephen
Garlick, Lisa Maxwell and Billie Whitelaw. A young Gelfling goes on a
quest to fulfil a prophecy and return balance to this alien planet.
This is a fairly
standard fantasy inspired heroes journey type story that takes place
on another planet. Nothing much unusual comes up in the story and it
does not have a lot going for it beyond the superficial layer. Where
the film is at it's strongest is in the excellent creatures and
puppets created by by Henson and co.
4/5
