I agree -- the dark crystal is VISUALLY fascinating , but the plot is
TOTALLY lacking. 
About all I can say is that anyone who thinks the plot of the Dark Crystal
is good knows NOTHING about your basic sci-fi plot.

And, even with that, it is stated at the very beginning that the Gelfling
is fated to return the the shard to the crystal. And he does. And in a not
even very interesting way, either. Big deal. Definitely wait for it to come
to the cheap show places because the visuals are somewhat interesting.
But that's about it.
