So, I just came back from watching “Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone” few minutes ago, and my impression of the movie is…SUPERB!!! It’s worth my time watching it. Watched the 7.15 PM slot and was sitting 2nd row from the front. It was almost full house, but……………there’s one most disappointing part when I watched it. They bloody cut out the trailer for the 2nd movie after the credits ended!!! ( > _ < ) and they can’t even cut it out properly. After the credits ended we can still hear the naration. It went like “In the next…!” then the screen went black. The whole cinema went nuts after that lol.
Anyway, putting aside the trailer removal, the movie was really great. Basically it covers the 1st 6 episodes of the TV series with NERV defeating the 1st three Angels and it ends after. The first half of the movie used most of the original TV series scenes with some animation improvement, but the best part is the 2nd half of it. The 2nd half of the movie is a total remake and you can really see the difference compared to the 1st half.
The animation quality, 3D effects, cell-shading, etc was awesome. It covers the part where Shinji fought the 6th “Cube” Angel. I won’t really say much, but I really like how they “recreate” the 6th Angel and make it really powerful. It can shapeshifts and has some new abilities that was never shown in the TV series before. Anyway it was a blast!!
After watching it, I really can’t wait for the 2nd movie ^^ If only they didn’t remove the “Evangelion: 2.0” trailer ( = _ = )
