Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Sep 25, 2009
3/5
Despite largely effective English dialogue that allows key characters to acquire dimension, the plot is hard to follow, especially early on. Yet the film pulls you in as it explores Shinji's perplexing dilemma and his maturing. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times Sep 18, 2009
2.5/5
Just another giant robot movie. Go to Full Review Aaron Hillis Village Voice Sep 15, 2009
This is mighty perplexing nerd kibble, its highfalutin' philosophical and psychological banter way too outlandish to seriously engage. Yet as a visceral experience, it's entrancing. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine Feb 2, 2026
5/10
On its own merits it is a deeply ordinary exercise in brand maintenance, but viewers wanting to see the vastly more accomplished sequels are stuck needing to watch it first. Go to Full Review Chase Burns The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 9, 2021
It obviously moves at a much quicker pace than the anime, for better and for worse, but the final battle between a giant floating crystal pyramid and a sexy purple mecha with a supergun is enough to hook even the anime-phobic. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Jul 4, 2015
7/10
While [it's] absolutely promising as the first movie in a series, it signs far too many IOUs to pretend that it's a great stand-alone movie in and of itself. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
