Evangelion 1.0: You Are [Not] Alone reviews

I may be slightly biased as I love NGE the series so as soon as the dvd of the first movie was released I bought it. For everyone who has seen or read NGE the story will be easy to understand as the film covers the first 6 episodes of the series. There are 4 films to in total the next coming out end 09. You are not alone basically introduces you to the cast of characters and sets the backdrop for the coming movies. The animation is beautiful and the musical score is similar to the series. The story flows at a faster pace and for 90 minutes you are absorbed into the world of EVA. I loved this version as it stays true to the series and I can't wait to see the next. If you have never seen NGE I would suggest to watch the series first as it is very complicated.

I didn't realise it wasn't english dubbed, so had to use subtitles.

A fan of anime… this DVD was a “lets try a show I've never seen” branch out. An it's one I'm glad I took. While it jumps straight into the story, its interesting an keeps you captivated. Can't wait to get next movie. Worth the buy.

I haven't seen NGE but I watched this and managed to get not only myself but a few of my friends hooked just from this and 2.22. you don't need to watch NGE to know what is happening, and it is a totally great movie experience.
I recommend it to all those who like seeing big robots fighting and things blowing up.

A good remake of an Anime that left it's fans confused and dissapointed. This is a remake that not only pleases it's fanbase, but it also makes a good first impression to those new to the Evangelion series.

I started watching this movie, and barely 5 minutes in I was struggling to find a reason to keep watching. To people who have already seen the tv series there is no real need to see this movie. A few new scenes, and shinier animation is all thats new. Most of the movie is pretty much a shot-for-shot reconstruction of the original show. Which to me seems incredibly dull.

My only recommendation is that it is an excellent way to introduce yourself or a friend to Evangelion if you haven't seen it before, otherwise I would avoid.
