The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. Category IIB · 88 minutes.

What it is about

The story is a alternate ending of the final two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion tv series. “Air / Love is destructive”: After the failure of the artificially induced Third Impact, SEELE launches an attack on NERV. In a critical moment, Asuka confirms the existence of her mother and herself, revives, and begins to fight back. However, a new enemy descends from the sky. “One More Final: I need you”: After Shinji boards Unit-01, what he sees is the wreckage of Asuka’s Unit-02. Surrounding Unit-01, the mass-produced Evangelion units perform a solemn ritual. What exactly is the Human Instrumentality Project?

What to expect

Hideaki Anno's 1997 theatrical finale to the original Neon Genesis Evangelion series returns to Hong Kong screens. It presents an alternate ending to the TV show's final two episodes. The first half, 'Air / Love is Destructive,' follows the aftermath of a failed Third Impact as SEELE attacks NERV, while Asuka revives to fight back. The second, 'One More Final: I need you,' finds Shinji inside Unit-01 witnessing a ritual involving mass-produced Evangelions. The movie is dense, philosophical mecha drama—not a light action movie—and assumes familiarity with the series. It is rated IIB and runs 88 minutes. Over the next week, there are 73 screenings across 9 cinemas in 8 districts. Tickets start at HK$100, and screenings include English and Chinese subtitles.
