I've watched it 3× just this week. All the work put into it and great minds that made it happen I was not disappointed. Keep the art alive everyone does CGI now and nothing compares to the art of "puppetry". Grew up with the OG and my daughter is named Keira. Live forever 🔮 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Raven M It has the perfect balance of puppetry and cgi as wall as a little bit of Motor controls for the puppets . Eyes and face movements It was written very good it can be Engrossing and adventurous and sad as well give you more background info of this world . The cast was good in their roles I.E the voice actors and the puppeteers and others. It is a shame it was cancelled. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Michael Antony A Mikey's TV Review: The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance (2019) A love letter to fantasy, puppetry and storytelling of the highest order, this prequel to the original 1982 film is a truly magnificent experience. Apart from delightful character performances and a perfect voice cast (including Simon Pegg, Taron Egerton, Nathalie Emmanuel, Mark Hamill and Donna Kimball) kudos must be given to the entire production. From writing to lighting, costume and creature design (Brian Froud) to visual FX and inspired direction from Louis Leterrier (The Transporter). Netflix and The Jim Henson Company have created an exciting and intelligent family drama series, filled with social commentary and progressive gender role models, without being intrusive, overly preachy, or losing sight of characterization. Moving at a pace that rarely lets up, we journey from vast deserts to moist woodland hues and treacherous mountains to deep caves. All with an attention to world building detail that puts most big screen Blockbusters to shame. Flowers swoon, insects creep and indescribable things flutter and fly... There are plenty of laughs, heartbreak and scares too. Some scenes, particularly those featuring the Skeksis, pushing the (12) rating up to the limit. While there are so many adorable moments, it's hard to stop myself grinning from ear to ear as I think about them. Hup, a Podling, is especially endearing both voiced and puppeted brilliantly by Victor Yerrid. If anything lets it down, it's that some of the deeply weighted, intimate scenes lose a little of their impact due to the limited facial expressions of the muppets - particularly the Gelfling. Although once again it's down to the performances of both the actors, puppeteers and voices that one quickly forgets that these are not actually real! It's also such a shame that something this wonderful and lovingly crafted feels the need to rush through the story to get to the end. Not everything these days has to have a sequel, but I for one would very much welcome a return trip to Thra. Hopefully everyone concerned with this production feels the same. At almost 8 hours it's perfect for binging, but may I suggest savouring it an episode or two per day? However you view it, you simply must see it!
