3/4
"A bittersweet spectacle."
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
A
"
Crystal
is a miraculous rush of innovation and storytelling patience, and, in the last 25 years, the film has grown from a 1982 misfire, to a cult wonder, to a bona-fide classic that's timeless in stature and masterful in execution."

Brian Orndorf
4/5
"This attention to detail is what elevates The Dark Crystal as Jim Henson’s most inspired and ambitious work."

"One of the most imaginative films I've ever seen, a fitting tribute to the brilliant career of the late master puppeteer, Jim Henson."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
3/5
"It’s a story as old as time redone in books and films over and over again. But this one’s got the one-of-a-kind Henson vision and style."
Film Threat
Ryan Cracknell
3.5/5
"Points to the Henson team for trying to broaden the scope of their creatures -- and there's little denying that this particular flick still seems to hold up pretty darn well."
DVD Clinic
Scott Weinberg
C
"A distant, uninvolving experience … characters and emotions, even by the archetypal standards of high fantasy, never come to life, and the overarching mythology seems too self-consciously contrived."
