Dark Crystal

Pros: A masterful creation from the boundless imagination of Jim Henson.
Cons: With all the computer special effects nowadays, people may not be interested.

Back before special effects wizardry from computers had us jumping out of our seats, movies makers had to use more conventional methods to take us into the world of make-believe. No one in contemporary history has done this better than the late Jim...

Pros: Great storyline,SFX are realistic,the Skeksis.
Cons: Un-realistic ending.Fizzgig and the UrRus.

All right,here comes one of Riza's favorite surreal Fantasy movie of all time.

The Story: Wonderful(if familiar) storyline.Yes,we have basically all got the storyline down now,but there are some intresting sup-plots that focuses on the...

Pros: It Is A Wonderful Film That Stimulates The Imagination
Cons: It Does Have Some Mild Violence

The Dark Crystal is another one of my favorites as a child. This movie is full of adventure, fantasy, action, and fun. I find that as a child I liked it, and even now as an adult I still find it entertaining.
This is a story of good versus evil....

Pros: A movie Great for kids and adults alike
Cons: None whatsoever

The Dark Crystal-- Jim Henson has created a whole new world. Where good and evil are two and yet one. The Skeksis have control of the Crystal and will become immortal if the crystal is not healed before the great conjunction. Jen, the last of the...

Pros: read the review
Cons: none, seriously

As someone who was born in 1982, I have a certain powerful nostalgia for the children's films of the 1980's. Most 80's fanatics lived their teen years through the decade and heavily relate to the teen movies of the time, whereas I'm non too keen, in-fact ...

Pros: Great Movie
Cons: They can't make movies like this nowadays

This was actually going to be my submission for next month’s write-off, but I have since found a better movie to write about. Of course I had already come up with a structure to write about so why not write it up and submit it anyway.

My...

Pros: One of the most creative and hard-to-make movie ever made.
Cons: unfortunately, this movie does not get the recognition it deserves.

It is impossible to watch an action or sci-fi movie in today's new age without seeing at least a hundred scenes of computer generated imagery(CGI). Movies like "The Matrix", "Van Helsing", and "Lord of the Rings" are all completely mesmerizing to watch, ...

Pros: Beautiful from beginning to end.
Cons: Too often passed over!

I was raised on the innovative form of animation given to us by the marvelous Jim Henson. From Kermit the Frog to the goblins in the Labyrinth, this creative genius managed to invent creatures and worlds of such depth, wonder, and jocularity that they...

Pros: Characters and the landscape.
Cons: Fairly short - but a good length for children viewers.

There are only four movies that I can remember I saw during my childhood that piqued my imagination. Who Framed Roger Rabbit, E.T., 101 Dalmatians, and The Dark Crystal. Similar to today’s standards – I did see quite a few films when I...

Pros: Super movie
Cons: a little scary at times

When I was a child my mother rented this movie for me. I remmember the wonders on the strange land that the gelflings live in. It was so imaginative and curious to me. I hated and feared the Skeksis. They were so evil and selfish! Best of all, the hero...

Pros: Busting at the seams with great extras.
Cons: No cons, Bravo!

Before reading any further you should know that this is not a review on Dark Crystal, it more like me telling you how cool the DVD is. Besides, if your still here reading this, you already know the movie is cool, so it doesn't matter how much of the...

Pros: A gorgeous film. Incredible attention to detail.
Cons: There will never be another movie quite like it.

I don't think I can praise this movie enough. Just words alone simply can't do justice to the sheer beauty of it. Now, normally I don't put so much weight into the appearances of a movie, but this... this is as a work of art, plain and simple.
...

Pros: wonderful scenery, brilliant story
Cons: not enough to mention

"The Dark Crystal" takes the veiwer into a world that is alive in so many ways. Without any foreknowledge of what it is you are about to witness, without even a prior knowledge of the Fantasy genre, you can submerge yourself into this place...

Pros: Grand scenes, a full world to enjoy.
Cons: None

A whole world created by Frank Oz and Jim Henson.
The Dark Crystal was made so long ago and it still rocks. I recently purchased the movie for my DVD. The movie is a classic battle between good and evil, fought in a mythical land. Everything in...

Pros: Beautiful and fun story.
Cons: Looks dated.

In my mind this is one of the best children’s stories ever put on the big screen. Out of the live action children’s stories, I feel this is the best. The Dark Crystal is able to do a couple of things that I think are essential; appeal to ...
