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.

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.

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

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

Classic movie that's even better restored to 4K UHD. Worth every penny for the nostalgia! I was shocked at how much better this looked than my previous blu-ray.

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.

Oh those Skeksis. An ancient race, split on this mortal coil between their good and evil sides - which will prevail? Without one another, the evil languish, and the good fade to pass... perhaps the duality of being requires all our traits? Such an epic tale stored within a little shiny spinning disc... who'd have thunk?
