Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance

Hideaki Anno’s second Rebuild movie returns to Hong Kong screens, playing 25 times across nine cinemas in eight districts over the next week. The 112‑minute animation is rated IIB, with tickets from HK$100 and both English and Chinese subtitles available. The action is relentless once the Eighth Angel hits NERV HQ and the EVA‑03 test goes wrong, forcing Shinji into a confrontation where the cockpit holds more than an enemy. Anno’s staging favours long, punishing silences between the mecha clashes, and the digital backgrounds give the Angels a glassy, weightless menace that the original series never had. The mythology is dense — this is not a standalone entry — so anyone walking in cold will spend the first act catching up. It suits viewers who already know their NERV from their SEELE and want the spectacle at cinema scale.
