Fun with the Dark Crystal

While I enjoyed the original Dark Crystal, I never really considered it to be my all-time favorite movie. I guess it never really captivated me, like Star Trek, or Star Wars did.

But I really liked Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which debuted on Netflix over the weekend. This was a rousing, fun, and epic fantasy that's rich in storytelling style while also being visually stunning at the same time. I really wasn't expecting to like this show as much as I did. At first I thought I was sitting down to watch a children's show. While the Dark Crystal may entertain children, it's aimed at the whole family.

Even if you're not a big fan of the original film, you might want to give the Dark Crystal series a shot. It has far more depth and resonance, while offering some mesmerizing imagery. Highly recommended.
