One of my favorite movies, animated or otherwise. As much as I loved the original tv series, this movie adds a fantastic punctuation to the ending of the aforementioned. Focusing particularly on Shinji and Asuka, who are coincidentally my favorite characters in the series, the movie is even more twisted and depressing than the original with many a character death. But at the end of the film is a message, that I believe, is full of hope. Of course, the tv series is a must watch beforehand.

It's hard to describe End of Evangelion. If you gave me five, five-hundred, or five-thousand words I'd struggle. So I'll simply say the facts. End of Evangelion is the perfect way to end a phenomenal series. It's thought provoking, exciting, brilliantly paced and directed, and both emotionally draining and rewarding. I can think of no other film that so viscerally affects it's viewers, nor one that so completely fulfills them. An absolute masterpiece.

què decir.. todo un viaje psicotròpico con baja autoestima.

Anime has its existential apocalypse down pretty well. This one is more surreal than Akira's gritty decline into madness--a climactic finale (seeing the original TV series first is a must) and the nihilistic antithesis to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Best anime movie ever made.

After watching it once I'm tempted to call it a mess, full of silly, overblown symbolism, constantly struggling to seem deep when it is in fact quite shallow (and in my opinion less effective than the end of the tv series). Still though it is pretty and has enough visual imagination to keep me engaged. Sometimes I'm a bit too easy to please..

Movie depends on watching the TV-series first, and is the ending Anno wanted but was unable to fund with episodes 25 and 26. In the end just an overrated alternate ending to an overrated show.

Not as amazing as I wanted it to be but it's a good ending to the series and makes up for terrible one the original anime had.

Anything that involves souls merging into a giant naked chick is a-okay to me.

Without knowledge of the entire series, there's no point in watching this.

Ugh, what completely overwritten tripe. It's not just that it's full of half baked ideas, but also that most of them aren't even examined in the most basic sense. They're just mishmashed together in hamfisted exposition, then put in a convoluted plot so that the effort it takes to discern them gives the impression of depth. I guess it doesn't help that I don't find the film's point of view appealing, nor the fetishistic art style. I did watch the series, BTW, also a mistake.

This series is not all it's cracked up to be. I've still watched it in its entirety three times already, but I never feel that the ideas present are explored to there fullest extent. Not in the least. And there's a handful of filler (as to be expected) so all things said I've got lots of problems here. Am I still thinking about watching the new remixed form currently in production? Hell yes.

Good, but an overrated Sartre wank. Not being the biggest admirer of Kubrick's 2001 to begin with, seeing it basically replayed out but with an inverted Cartesian philosophy wasn't the most engaging thing ever. For all the apparently earnest endeavours to wriggle into worthwhile psychological/philosophical territory, it operates on a universe different to ours and so therefore has a limited purchase. Our world has no AT Fields or Angels. Looks cool at times, interesting enough. Just limited.

The heartbreaking, disturbing, and incomparably apocalyptic ending of the story. I can't even relate in this little space how many awesome elements there are to this show, from the robots and clones to psychological cataclysms and injecting Bakelite into the hallways to keep the secret base safe from armed invaders. This movie is so intense. I have mixed feelings about the ending, but it's an unbelievable film.
