In turn it is a source of inspiration for a new video game, presented at E3 2019, out this year, "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics", developed by BonusXP and En Masse Entertainment. The story is partly inspired by the film, and by the various works that have collected its legacy over time (books, graphic novels, video games, etc.), but it is also completely original. The episodic nature of the work manages to give due recognition to the complex and articulated life on Thra and to expand it: starting from the matriarchal social system of the Gelflings, to their politics and division into clans each with their own role, colors, peculiarities, to the point of exploring their religiosity with the blind adoration of the Lords of the Crystal the carefree life of the Podlings, made up of simple relationships, noise and escapes from the bath (in my opinion one of the funniest scenes!) the complex hive civilization of fearsome arachnids Arathim.īathing the little Podlings is no small feat too! The story of "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" His work with the camera is on the verge of transcendental from how revolutionary it is for a puppet film! The camera is never static, always moving to follow the movements of a living world (since even Netflix executives have been "enlisted" to shake trees and other objects, to bring Thra to life). In the director's work Louis Letierrer (The Transporter, Clash of Titans) who, by directing all 10 episodes, has therefore given a continuity of visual language to the whole series, the close collaboration with writers and producers is phenomenal. Who is directing “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance”? From a world where all creatures lived in harmony with each other, we came to a society divided into castes, with the Skeksis at the top. The Podlings, on the other hand, do the most humble jobs. From that point on all Gelflings have begun to worship and worship the Skeksis as something akin to the gods, serving them as guards and paying them tithes. But not only that, they also subjugated the Gelflings and other species of Thra, bending them to their will and proclaiming themselves Lords of the Crystal. During his sleep, the Skeksis began to draw on the power of Crystal of Truth, corrupting it slowly until it becomes the Dark crystal. The latter gave the knowledge of the depths of space to Aughra (Donna Kimball), who left the Crystal of Truth, to be able to dream of the infinite skies. Then, a thousand " triune”(The annual trine of the three suns) ago, they came up THRA two alien entities, the urru, also called Mystics, " part dog and part dinosaur“, Related and interested only in the natural world, and the Skeksis, " part reptile, part bird of prey, part dragon". These, with anthropomorphic features and gentle elven features, are the primary species of the planet. The glittering deserts, the majestic seas, the luxuriant forests and the deep caves, teem with the most disparate multitude of creatures and animals, giant worms and flying races, the adorable ones Podling and above all i Gelfling.
