Despite largely effective English dialogue that allows key characters to acquire dimension, the plot is hard to follow, especially early on. Yet the film pulls you in as it explores Shinji's perplexing dilemma and his maturing.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Just another giant robot movie.
