See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 30 Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is an impressive series that clearly respects Jim Henson’s legacy, but it never fully captured me the way the original film did. The craftsmanship is undeniable: the puppetry, sets, and creature designs are stunning and made with obvious care. From a technical standpoint, the show is beautifully executed. The story feels overly drawn out, taking too long to reach moments that truly matter. Unlike the film, which balanced mystery and momentum, the series often feels sluggish, making it harder to stay emotionally invested. At times, I was more aware that I was watching puppets rather than being immersed in the world. The voice casting is also hit or miss, with certain choices pulling me out of the experience rather than enhancing it. Ultimately, Age of Resistance isn’t bad—it’s well made and easy to watch—but it lacks the magic that made the original timeless. Fans of Jim Henson’s work will appreciate it, but it’s not something I feel the need to revisit See more Jason P @JDOGG Nov 7 Epic fantasy series See more yass m @yassminn Oct 11 What a crap! it drags on with no real story, no spark, and nothing special to justify the time it steals from its audience. See more Is W. @weshenper Jul 23 I adore the original film, and thoroughly enjoyed this series. However, I am extremely disappointed with the lazy use of CGI in certain scenes. The beauty of Henson’s work is the puppetry, am I’m sure working on this series would have been a puppeteer’s dream. Almost all of the show is puppetry, but there is one scene in particular that absolutely haunts me. There’s a shot of a gelfling walking up a spiral staircase (which is really difficult to create with puppetry and tricky camera angles alone), but the whole puppetry world the viewer has immersed themselves in is suddenly converted into a rudimentary CGI mess. I mean it’s much worse than what they did to muppets babies. Animated gelflings are creepy af. The whole shot was completely unnecessary too, it doesn’t add anything (positive) to the story or fantasy environment. It’s still definitely worth it for fans of The Dark Crystal like me. I just wanted to warn people about the occasional smooth-faced gelfling jump scare. See more Olivia C. @ocorbett Jul 15 One of Netflix’s BIGGEST fumbles. See more Read all reviews
