Ryan W Almost a 1-to-1 remake, nothing exciting. The ending fight looked cool, I suppose.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Chanr3y k It may be a rehash of the first 6 episodes of the show, but everything about this movie is still awesome. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Cody W You can feel the tension and the suspense flow within these characters. It's what makes EVANGELION 1.11: YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE an intense sci-fi thriller that honors the classic anime television series in more ways than one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review Liam D Despite a drag in the middle of the movie this is a beautifully animated and exciting entry into the Evangelion canon Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/22 Full Review Christopher B If you're a fan of the original anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion then you will not be disappointed with this reboot, at least not this first theatrical release. The series ran 26 episodes and had two films that were made to give fans more of a meaningful resolution than the finally two episodes of the series offered which was more of a psychological mash-up of Shinji's mind. The first film of these two was Death and Rebirth (1997) which has the first hour devoted to retelling the series primary plot points and the last half hour dedicated to new footage. This last half of Death and Rebirth make up the beginning half hour of what would be The End of Evangelion (Also 1997) and gives viewers a more tangible, albeit horrific, close to the series story and the character's fates. While the last couple episodes of the series were a psychological delve into Shinji's mind, The End of Evangelion is the outright devastating physical conclusion to the series and a harsh reality to accept. The first of the proposed four film rebuild of Evangelion, Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone is essentially an introduction to the characters and story line of the series and one that sticks very closely to the original series narrative. There are some slight differences in story and certainly the film boasts a much bigger budget and utilizes the advances in the decade or more since the earlier films and boasts both hand-drawn animation and the latest CGI blended together seamlessly and visually it is gorgeous to view! While I've seen it on Blu-ray and admired the quality, seeing it at my local cinema recently along with Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance (2009) Evangelion: 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo (2012)and in a three-film marathon was a totally engrossing and visually sensational experience unlike any other! The C.G.I. involved really adds to the style and feel of the series and breathes new life into the proceedings, especially the angels and their functionality. This first film is condensed certainly but still does a fantastic job at capturing the many battles with the various angels but more importantly it clings to the psychological and humanity of the central story arc and it's Jewish and Christian symbolism all of which add dramatic and visual depth to the series and of course this/these films!
