Quote: Ungim/The Dark Crystal

It's been forty two years since The Dark Crystal was released. I count myself among the lucky ones who got to see it as a child, when its maximum impact can be experienced and carried throughout a lifetime. It truly is One of Kind, an exquisite fantasy adventure from the exceptional mind of Jim Henson, told exclusively using muppets and other ingenious forms of puppetry. It's incredible visuals are complemented by one of the most beloved scores ever written. The music by composer Trevor Jones is so powerful, so magnificent and so fantastical that it elevates the movie to a Legendary status the likes of which will probably never be seen again. The Great Conjunction occurs at the climax of the movie and remains to this day one of the most intense and satisfying endings in motion picture history. Truly Magical.
