A pummelling depiction of the apocalypse that doesn't pull a single punch. Truly, some of the most creative, bizarre, and outright lurid animation ever put to film -- though you may not fully grasp everything happening, the phantasmagoria of emotionally devastating imagery is wont to stick with you until the end of time. A metaphysical mindbender with the power to clasp your heart and wring it dry.

Yes, it's the end of a TV show released as a movie. It is also one of the most batshit insane things I have ever seen, throwing all caution to the wind to the point where the image of a christ-robot piercing the eye of a giant naked God is merely the midpoint. It's simultaneously incredible AND frustrating to watch a show this high-concept disregard the plot to instead fully focus on the characters' psychology. Not even the end of the world can cure this teenage boy's self-loathing.

It seems like Anno wanted both to give an ending to the series and do a really personal an artistic work about struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. In the end the movie is a gigantic mess and not everything works (I feel particularly conflicted mostly with all the symbolic stuff and whatever the overall point of the movie was). But there is enough brilliant stuff in it (the visuals and the relationship between Shinji and Asuka) to consider it a masterpiece.

Very flawed, even more so than the preceding series. On principle, I hate that this rewrites and even directly contradicts the ending of the series (regardless of quality). Beyond that, the narrative is straight up incomprehensible at times - which is especially inexcusable in the narrative-driven first half. Still, Evangelion is its characters and this movie does exercise them in engaging ways. It could have been better, but it's still a good ride that goes in a very interesting direction.

Review for both the series and movie. Its was good, but not as great as I expected on its reputation as one of the best animes ever. The first 16 episodes are pretty standard. After episode 16 it gets better and more philosophical and introspective. But still the characters aren't that well-rounded and developed to emotional hit me and the philosophical musing not that interesting and insightful to blow me away.

Its like if the most beautiful person in the world jerked off in front of me for 90 minutes and occasionally said my mom's name. Pretentious mess of a film with characters who bluntly say character traits and flaws. A movie that so poorly ignores "Show dont tell" but still can't tell anything. Awful in almost every regard. Art is beautiful tho and has some of the most quality drawn scenes in all of anime

incredibly cold and detached, completely missing even a sliver of the heart the series had. lots of random gobbledygook religion symbols and magical logic, eyeballs emerging from forehead pussies, complete nonsense. I think this was made right when everyone at Gianax started finding out about mushrooms because they've gone completely off the rails. I hate to say it but the insight into misato's background in the orig ep25/26 was more valuable to the story and characters than anything in here.

Contrived and elusive. It merely gave me a sense of 'neither me nor the writers have any idea what's going on'. There's no real plot, more of an avalanche of allusions, hints, metaphors...

The large scale companion to the show's more personal (and budget-restricted) ending. It is a simultaneously harrowing, exciting, depressing and hopeful conclusion that left enough room for interpretation to fuel decades of fan debate. Contains some of the most memorable sequences I have encountered in animation.

Satisfying as an ending to the series in every possible way - killer fights, hypnotic imagery, intense stakes, and headfuckery galore. The emotional and character arcs provide a decent compliment and sometimes counter-point to the final two episodes of the show, and the final scene is a creepy, enigmatic way to keep some mystery.

It probably wasn't smart to watch this without watching the series first, but it was still pretty awesome, if quite hard to understand.
