Evangerion shin gekijôban: Jo (2007) -- There was no foreseeable warning before it happened -- a catastrophe of unparalleled scale and magnitude overwhelmed the entire globe. This event, recorded in history as "The Second Impact," caused half the population of the Earth to perish and devastated the world. All that remains of Japan is Tokyo-3, a city that is now being attacked by giant creatures that seek to destroy mankind. These creatures are called Angels. Fourteen year old Shinji Ikari is called to Tokyo-3 by his father who he hasn’t seen in more than eight years. He is asked to come to the NERV headquarters to meet his father. His father reveals to him a gigantic humanoid weapons system that the special governmental agency has secretly developed to fight the Angels and then orders Shinji to pilot the giant artificial human Evangelion Unit One. With the fate of the world resting on his shoulders, how will the 14 year old boy Shinji fight? Wht is the truth behind "The Human Instrumentality Project," an operation somehow related to the "Second Impact"? And who is the true enemy? The Angels, NERV, the mysterious SEELE, or the demons held within the hearts of the people involved? Gendo Ikari, a man who holds many answers to these questions, watches silently and attentively as his son fights a desperate battle…

Fun Stuff

Trivia:
As an April Fools joke for 2009, USA and Canada distributor FUNimation Entertainment released a bogus but well known cast list for the main characters, in the vein of the success of the Hollywood cast in Afro Samurai: Resurrection (2009) (TV). It included Shia LaBeouf as Shinji Ikari, Lindsay Lohan as Rei Ayanami, Miley Cyrus as Asuka Langley Sohryu, Angelina Jolie as Misato Katsuragi, Samuel L. Jackson as Gendou Ikari, and Sean Penn as Pen Pen. more

Well worth it, 19 January 2008
10/10
Author: zeak_888 from Australia

I recently viewed the new movie and WOW is the word that sums it up. About 85% is the same as the original 5 episodes but the story starts to turn away from them a tad.

Some of the things that amazed me where there was so much happening all at once like kids playing whilst there where cars and trucks passing with all the other things happening around. Everything was doing something. Now I'm waiting for the English dub to be done and very impatiently I may add, My only Question is will the original voice cast play the characters eg Spike Spensor played Shinji.

10 out of 10 and there is no way this as recked the original series so that you don't have to cry about.
