Neon Genesis Evangelion - The End of Evangelion description
When the first Evangelion feature, Death and Rebirth, proved no more satisfying than the last episodes of the original series, Hideaki Anno brought his watershed epic to its conclusion in this final installment. End of Evangelion begins where the series ended: with the Angels defeated, the sinister cabal SEELE attacks NERV headquarters to seize the Evas and realize their plan for humanity. Misato and Ritsuko fight from inside while Asuka decimates a new Eva series. But when Rei merges with Lilith, and Shinji seems to fuse with Unit 01, the final traces of a coherent storyline dissolve into a protracted collage of fantastic images, played against discussions involving Rei, Shinji, Asuka, and Kaoru. Anno's dazzling apocalyptic vision forms a weird but oddly logical finale that ultimately means whatever the viewer chooses to read into it. This unrated feature, suitable for ages 17 and older, contains considerable violence, profanity, grotesque imagery, and sexual situations. --Charles Solomon |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
One of my favorite films
|
"The End of Evangelion" is one of the most bizarre, but brilliant films made in any medium, be it live action or animation. Studio Gainax teamed up with the animation stuidio Production I.G in 1997 to create the theatrical conclusion to their most famous work, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Picking up right where episode 24 left off, EoE acts as an alternate ending to episodes 25 and 26, which abandoned the narrative to give the viewers an abstract view into the minds of the main characters (though the television ending may be the same story presented in the film from a different perspective). As such, this movie should not be viewed before watching the series, as you will be completely lost.
The animation is beautiful in this film, a huge step up from the TV series. Two scenes in particular that I found impressive were Asuka's fight scene against the 9 Mass Production Evangelions, and the strange but beautiful take on the Apocalypse presented in the second half.
This film is not suitable for younger viewers. It has many disturbing psychological themes (particularly the scene in the beginning), and the action is brutal and gory. One of the main characters is also nude for the duration of the movie, but it isn't too graphic. The film poses many questions and doesn't deliver the answers in a clear cut manner, instead allowing the viewers to come to their own conclusions. It is not for viewers who are seeking a fun blockbuster movie that doesn't require much thinking.
I gave this release 4 stars due to the poor video transfer on the DVD. It looks fine, but compared to the release from Japan, it's lacking. The English dub is also very poor in my opnion, and I highley reccomend watching this in Japanese with subtitles. |
