The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
Available on Netflix
THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE opens with a lesson in the history of Thra by the Myth Speaker (voiced by Sigourney Weaver). The land and its inhabitants -- Gelflings, Podlings, and any number of diverse creatures large and small -- draw life from the Crystal of Truth, but a malevolent birdlike species called the Skeksis have manipulated the residents of Thra and seized control of the crystal themselves. While they corrupt it for their own greedy desires of eternal life, generations of Gelflings live in naive ignorance of their actual schemes until the crystal's power begins to wane and the Skeksis must go to extreme lengths to keep up the ruse. But three brave Gelflings -- Rian (Taron Egerton), Brea (Anya Taylor-Joy), and Deet (Nathalie Emmanuel) -- learn of the Skeksis' true intentions and embark on a dangerous quest to reclaim the Crystal of Truth before it's too late.
