imagine seeing this movie in theaters for the first time in the 80s, like what the fuck must that experience have been like :0 i have vague memories of watching this with my uncle when i was very little, but it wasn't until recently i was able to return to it. as a very big fan of labyrinth, i was very excited to watch the dark crystal, and it was about everything i was expecting it to be! what the film lacks in story/pacing, it more than makes up for in its creative visuals, effects, and worldbuilding. the story itself is rather predictable and characters are flat pretty much the entire read more
