Tokyo-3 still stands after most of civilization was decimated in the Second Impact. Now the city endures the ceaseless onslaught of the deadly Angels, bizarre creatures bent on eradicating the human race. To combat this strange and ruthless enemy, the government agency NERV constructs a fleet of towering humanoid machines - the Evas - and Shinji Ikari is called into action, reluctantly taking his place at the controls of Eva Unit 01.
Living a life of loneliness and questioning his existence, Shinji struggles to accept responsibility for mankind's battle for survival in this visually striking rebuild of one of the most important anime of all time. Shinji will fight the Angels alongside the only person who might understand his plight - Rei Ayanami, the elusive and frail pilot of Eva Unit 00. In this film experience not to be missed, Shinji and Rei will struggle to learn a simple truth: when carrying the burden of humanity's survival on your shoulders, you are not alone.

The story of a whiny 14-year-old kid who doesn't know what he wants or why he wants it, who gets put in a mecha and wham, go save the world. The boy goes, even though he's never driven a mecha. Why wouldn't he? As long as his papa watches and acknowledges his existence. And shows him love. So we have the existential problems of a 14-year-old and the existential problems of all of humanity intersecting throughout the film. (God knows what else they're crossing there, I can only guess.) I'll admit that it's nicely drawn, but it still didn't grab me. Looks like I won't be a fan of mecha anime... Seen with Czech dubbing.
