The Dark Crystal

One of the most extraordinary and successful films of recent years, The Dark Crystal is a luxuriantly original, live action fantasy inhabited by alien beings, set in another world, another time, another age of wonder. The tale begins when Jen,a Gelfling (one of the last survivors of the elfin-like race) is told of a prophecy by his master, a wise and gentle mystic. Jen sets to the task of returning the crystal shard to the all powerful Dark Crystal, making it whole again, and restoring light to the world.
