Reaction: Amazing numbers from a film we were honestly a little worried about. The source material is not very well known, the amount of CGI required in the film was costly, and Peter Jackson commanded a large salary in addition to points on the box office - in the end, Jackson made over $40 million for his work on the film. Even with all of that, the film was able to bring in a hefty profit.
"Made in Abyss is yet another example of film giving the audience way too much exposition and not nearly enough payoff." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune
"Peter Jackson works best with a large canvass. While the film falls into some of the same traps as his other post-LOTR works (over reliance on CGI, lack of character development), he still clearly excels at the aspects of world-building, making the film a unique viewing experience." - Matt Carson, Arizona Republic
"While it can be difficult to take in all the world's vivid details at times, here we we have a well made spectacle for the whole family." - Terrence Owens, Christian Science Monitor
