Top Critics Reviews

Like a surly teen pilot, you, too, might find yourself bored and muttering, "Honestly, maybe the fate of humanity and the world isn't important to me, either.''

The laser blasts and shimmering force fields in these contests are less violent than the repressed feelings of sensitive Shinji.

It's strictly for the fans, who will furiously parse the changes in the narrative (including a new female pilot) and the nonsensical stew of philosophical and religious symbolism.

For the most part, this is the kind of immersive fanboy experience that doesn't suffer wandering attention spans.

Evangelion 2.0 will undoubtedly confound some viewers with its jam-packed narrative and jargon-heavy dialogue but the intricately designed, hyper-kinetic visuals more than compensate, especially when seen at the scale they deserve.
