These comments are based on watching the English dub of the film on Netflix.Ī precaution one might want to take before viewing this is: if one HASN'T seen the series they are NOT going to get this. Overall I'd say that this is a must see for all Evangelion fans. The animation is impressive, clearly there was more time and money spent on this than the series. Shinji is more irritating than ever but the other characters are great Asuka was particularly pleasing as she battled nine other EVAs in Unit Two Rei is as mysterious as ever and other main characters were well used. In the second things are far more existential, not to mention a little confusing at times. The two halves are quite different the first is where most of the action takes place.
The film is made up of two episodes, with the 'end' credits positioned between them. It provides lots of impressive action but this is tempered by the feeling that ultimately our protagonists might not prevail or even survive. Having watched the series I thought I knew what to expect but this film takes things to another level. Shinji's father plans to use Rei Ayanami to initiate the 'Third Impact'. SEELE launches an attack on NERV headquarters and the unconscious Asuka is moved to Eva Unit Two while Misoto searches for Shinji. As the film opens Asuka is in a coma and Shinji is wracked with more self-loathing than ever. This film is effectively an alternative to the final two episodes of the TV series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' as such if you haven't watched the series it isn't likely to make much sense as no time is wasted in explaining what went before.
