Read synopsis hereThe plot is almost 100% identical to those of anime I should say. Brutal and all. Literally a cut and paste, with some bit of sophisticated editing. Rather, this is a concised of the anime's chapter 1. While some reviewed saying that this movie was made better by removing some unnecessary part, I say the removal was a total wrong decision.
Honestly, the remake of Evangelion (to a movie) was both abrupt and surprising - the anime featured a whole load of Shinji and Rei's turmoil. Which requires plentiful of detailed narrations. It's the core of the entire anime. We all knew, making this into a movie depicts the deplete of it's originality which breaks my heart to even think of it.
The character's personality wasn't that much elaborated. Focusing only on the process of the battles. It's gonna get real boring seeing evangelion fighting angels all the damn time you know?
Visuals: That's the key selling point (or unique selling point, we say) of remaking an anime isn't it? Else why would anyone wants to watch an anime-made movie?
Direction: Moving, inevitably. However, removal of those many scenes resulted the movie to not correspond the sub title - You are not alone. The ending suggested more episodes to come. Whether it will be screened in Singapore, let's cross our fingers.
Overall: Watch if you are interested. Not a bad idea to spend your 90 mins if you've got nothing to do but roaming about along the busy streets.
If you were to ask me if I'll watch the 2nd evangelion movie, I say I'll contemplate. Would rather go watch the anime all over again, but somehow the idea of it's movie seems to attract me spend and watch their craps. Wonder why. I must have been possessed by one of the angels.
