The entire length carries almost all the classic plots of the EVA TV version, but the new interpretation cannot surpass the past classics. Whether it is the death of the No. 0 machine or the rampage of the No. 1 machine, the picture has changed, but the visual impact is far less than before. With the strange soundtrack, the image of the otaku is a newcomer with a lunatic temperament. The end of the glasses is really "broken" enough.
If the only bright spot in the entire theatrical version should be the awakening of Asuka, she disappeared in the theatrical version inexplicably for an unfinished dinner. But the whole process of disappearing is still moving, especially after the Dummy System was launched, and the girl's soundtrack sung a cappella, it can be regarded as saving a little face for the "broken".
When I was in Hong Kong, because I was too lazy to get up early, I missed the opportunity to share with otaku and otaku girls in the cinema. Now that I think about it, I am a little fortunate. From the very beginning of watching EVA to now, I like it as always. Although many plots have not been understood at all, the shock brought by EVA is never surpassed or even comparable by other animations. So, even if I am a little disappointed, if there is another theatrical version, I will look forward to it without hesitation.
