Evangelion is based off of an anime/manga of the same name; well it's technically called Neon Genesis Evangelion, but there are so many spin-offs of it that it's ridiculous. It's one of those classics that pretty much everyone has heard of but maybe not seen. I normally hate mecha (especially reading it) because it's so hard to tell which giant machine is which. In the drawing medium they all seem to look the same and get me confused. But this movie is pretty much one version of the manga adapted into movie style. So I had high expectations for it because I loved the manga.
The entire time I sat through the movie, I waited for something to happen. I just kept on waiting for it to suddenly become awesome as the manga had. And honestly it never really did. The only plot I could somewhat make out was "oh no there's an Angel let's fight it". Oh and the subplot parts that make it like a soap opera. It was the ending of the movie that got me. Well not the literal ending, but the part after the huge overly-dramatic fight scene where Shinji goes and gets Rei out of the Eva. And it only "got me" in the way that it's so sad but yet happy at the same time. Anyways I'd probably only recommend this to crazy Evangelion fans so that's probably not you.
I give it: 5/10
