Description
Prepare yourself to experience "Neon Genesis Evangelion" like you've never before--director Hideaki Anno and the main staff behind the original 1990s "Evangelion" animation series return with the help of some new faces to bring you a completely revamped new "Neon Genesis Evangelion" animated theatrical feature.
Fifteen years since the apocalyptical "Second Impact" event, 14-year-old Shinji Ikari is summoned to the headquarters of the special forces group NERV by his father, the commander Gendo Ikari. Now this helpless child must take on the gigantic and mysterious angels in a man-made automaton called an Evangelion, without knowing the truth about his endeavors The classic, beloved Anime series returns! The first in a planned quadrilogy of movies, Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone has all new scenes, CGI, narrative and structure making it the perfect companion to the landmark series while also being the perfect introduction for those who have yet to be entranced by Shinji and the Eva's. Press: "Hulking human-dimensioned modules with design pointing the way to prophesied amalgamations of flesh and circuitry, the Evangelions rank in the top bracket of contraptions dreamt up by Japanese animators. Battle scenes deliver everything required, and imaginative touches include the sight of Tokyo-3 retreating from the Earth's surface when danger approaches. Assembled by a team of returning key creatives, tech package is geared up with the latest CGI software without betraying the sharp lines and simple facial expressions of the original material. Credited as "chief director," Anno's input extends to personally laying down tracks used in the film's sophisticated sound design." - Variety Related News

"Fantastic!"
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.

"Pointless!"
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. FeedbackIf you think we've made a mistake or omitted details, please send us your feedback. |
