The film struggled to build tension, and Suzuki, the main character, didn't stand out. It almost felt like his role could have been left out, since he barely made an impact on the story. The characters mostly acted independently. Although the synopsis suggests their stories converge, the ending felt unnatural and forced, lacking a genuine sense that everything was meant to connect.

Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul is a film filled with intense and sometimes upsetting moments. While the story is often dark, it also highlights how people continue to search for hope, even when things seem impossible.

This film is the fifth film in the Resident Evil whole 3DCG series. Jill appears for the first time in the series.
