Evangelion 2.22
Despite being initially not that keen, I warmed to the film as it went on and I think generally, it's a good time. Once it starts to really break away from the original storyline, it's fun to see what it would have been like if things had happened differently, and it really ramps up the spectacle throughout. The dialogue seems incredibly direct though. I don’t know if this is just down to Khara’s new translation or a feeling that retelling the story in a more condensed format left less room for ambiguity, but it seemed to take great pains to tell you exactly what was happening every time someone opens their mouth. Having been curious for a long time about what Mari would bring to the story, I can also report that she is definitely... there.
Beyond that, I think I'll need more time to process the film and see how I feel about it in the context of the other rebuilds. I certainly enjoyed it more than I feared I might do and I wouldn't mind seeing it again on a larger screen.
