The Dark Crystal [SteelBook] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy] [1982]

This movie was ahead of its time because it used puppets instead of computer graphics, but looks really lifelike. Also, the story is a bit dark and intense, which includes death scenes, so be careful to not have little kids watch it.

One of the greatest practical effects puppets films to have ever been crafted

I remember watching this movie back when it came out on VHS and surprisingly never got any nightmares from it. Its so weird and creepy at times. And don't tell me that you didn't try and eat like the Skeksis after watching this as a kid. I love the characters and the story and since it was shot using puppets and not some weird CGI you can still watch it today without it looking weird. I was super excited that Best Buy came out with a steelbook version, the art is amazing.

Pros: Dolby Atmos on my 11.2 (7.2.4) 4k touch up that wows on an OLED Steel case with extras Artwork Cons: Non.

Huge fan of Jim Hensen and has to add this to my collection...plus the price was right

The Dark Crystals is a great film. The puppetry is well done, the world building is very unique, the music is very majestic, and the films darkness really sets the tone for a beautiful, yet eerie world. The 4K presentation is also what makes this film worth watching. The 4K and HDR/Dolby Vision are very bright and colorful, and bring out the best lighting to help make the world of Thra look more vibrant and realistic than ever before. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re collecting 4K films.

One of my top to Henson based movies. Labyrinth being number one. Still great on 4K compared to the prior Blu-ray release.

Good, simple movie. Very impressed with the variety of creatures created.
