Evangelion 1.0 : You Are (Not) Alone
I have never watched a single episode of Evangelion ever before but I enjoyed this movie. Watched the 1915hrs session at The Cathay after a nice high tea session with another friend. Almost didn't make it to the start cos my friend though it was 1950, not 1915. lol.
The movie is supposed to cover about six episodes for each movie (There is a total of four movies). Apparently, there are some changes to the movie version. I guess they will make it more, marketable in terms of storyline maybe?
A boy named Shinji is brought to Nerv and asked to pilot the EVA Unit-01. He initially refuses, but upon seeing an injured Rei trying to pilot Unit-01, he agrees. His maiden task is to fight the fourth angel. Now being a non Eva fan I have no idea where the angels come from but I guess they are just out to destroy the world. I still enjoy the show, as this brings an element of mystery, which i like in watching stuff. He manages to get trough this first fight and throughout the movie, he pilots the Eva to fight 2 more of the angels.
As it turns out, it seems that what is happening to Shinji and Rei does not happen by chance. It seems to be a carefully scripted life.......... which I guess we non fans will get to find out over the next 3 movies, or if we go and watch the original anime.
Definitely a movie to catch, and something to kill yourself over, if you're an otaku and missed this.
I love the music.
