The film explores a highly relevant theme about humanity's race to develop the most advanced technology. It shows how human greed and misuse of innovation lead to catastrophic consequences. The story effectively warns that unchecked technological ambition can bring about human extinction. Visually, the animation is clean and well-structured, though the film is dominated by dark tones like black and brown. This may be difficult for viewers with impaired vision. Better lighting and color variation could enhance the viewing experience. The main characters, particularly the doll-like figures, are well-developed with distinct traits. However, supporting characters lack depth and individuality. The film raises unanswered questions, such as the survival of the lone scientist and the inactive state of the beast king.
