Synopsis

There was no foreseeable warning before it happened -- a catastrophe of unparalleled scale and magnitude overwhelmed the entire globe. This event, recorded in history as "The Second Impact," caused half the population of the Earth to perish and devastated the world. All that remains of Japan is Tokyo-3, a city that is now being attacked by giant creatures that seek to destroy mankind.

These creatures are called Angels. Fourteen year old Shinji Ikari is called to Tokyo-3 by his father who he hasn’t seen in more than eight years. He is asked to come to the NERV headquarters to meet his father. His father reveals to him a gigantic humanoid weapons system that the special governmental agency has secretly developed to fight the Angels and then orders Shinji to pilot the giant artificial human Evangelion Unit One.

With the fate of the world resting on his shoulders, how will the 14 year old boy Shinji fight? What is the truth behind "The Human Instrumentality Project," an operation somehow related to the "Second Impact"? And who is the true enemy? The Angels, NERV, the mysterious SEELE, or the demons held within the hearts of the people involved?

Gendō Ikari, a man who holds many answers to these questions, watches silently and attentively as his son fights a desperate battle…

Awesome Movie!

I think this is one of the best anime movies I have seen in years. This retells everything that has happened in the first six episodes of the series and adds some new pieces to answer some unanswered questions that Evangelion fans may have asked themselves over the years. The new animation was stunning and the old and new voices for the characters were very well put into their character. The music was amazing and even some music from the episodes were played while there were some music that never was in the episodes played.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes Gundam Seed Destiny and other Mecha-Robot anime! This is a must-see for hardcore anime fans as well! Also, be sure to stay put during the credits to see a sneak preview of the next movie Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance!
