Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
I liked the soundtrack. And I guess the pretty lights too.
Still gonna watch it as soon as I can :/ hopefully it won't disappoint meOpinions on this film seem pretty divisive. It's either amazing or terrible with little in between.
CG EVA's are the worst thing to ever happen
I haven't watched it yet but I've rewatched gunbuster like three times in the past week. Am I setting myself up for mass disappointment.
*I wish for once they stop being vague and just start telling us things.What is that thing in central dogma?
Talk about being vague!Which thing?
Many things in this film don't make sense at all.
*Why don't anyone from WillE talk or explain things to Shinji at all. Okay, you're butthurt because he caused 3rd impact. But it's fucking obvious from the beginning that he has no idea whatsoever that he caused it. How fucking dumb do you have to be not explaining things to him and therefore allowing him to defect to the other side? These dumbasses deserve to die.
*Why the fuck is Kaworu dumb enough to put the collar on himself after taking it off from Shinji? WTF? What's the point of it? On that note, I'm not even sure if he died due to the collar or because he self-suicide via EVA-13.
* Not enough character background stories.Which leads me to wonder if this Revival thing wouldn't be better as TV series instead of movies.Those times showing the now decrepit NERV and Shinji playing piano with Kaworu could have been used to show what happened during 3rd impact and how every character changed. On that note, I kind of like the new crews but we don't even know anything about them.
Interesting stuff:
*I wish for once they stop being vague and just start telling us things.What is that thing in central dogma?
i believe he's refering to the lilin corpse in central dogma, but more importantly, what the fuck is mk 06 doing riding on her? didn't it pretty much pierced unit 1 with a spear and casually float down to earth by the end of 2.0?
Since people are dropping explanations...
What's the deal with that giant head in front of Gendo?
Zeroth said:It's implied in that scene that the collar would blow off if it wasn't being used by anyone, and he mentioned he would do it at some point, probably in case he had to kill himself.

So? I fail to see the problem with the bolded.I don't know, I just thought it makes more sense that way.It's not like the collar self-destruct upon removal. It was benign for quite long period of time between him removing it and putting it on his neck. What's wrong with just throwing it off to the crater or some kind?
This is merely conjecture of my part based on what we've seen, but the collar triggered when Kaworu became the 13th Angel because it was built to prevent the event of a person "ascending", kinda like Shinji in the end of 2.0. He wanted to use it because if that event happened, he would need to die anyway.
Like what was the point of his role here apart frombeing Shinji's temporary friend?
The rest of your post is (sadly) quite accurate, but aboutMany things in this film don't make sense at all.
*Rei III's question when posed with imminent destruction: "What would Ayanami Rei" do? Her answer was surprisingly that of self-preservation as evidenced by her ejecting herself away from her EVA unit. This is the opposite of what Rei 2 & 3 in the TV series would do in the face of similar situation. They'd just sacrifice themselves like the dolls that they were.
I'm not sure where you are getting at. Even in the TV series he worked as a "temporary friend". You could say his main point is thathe had to pay with his life for Shinji's desire to make things go back to what they once were. It's more serious when you remember that in the entire movie, Shinji was running away from his actions and their consequences, and when he finally decided to do something about that, he killed the only person who supported him through that moment by listening to his selfish desires of ridding himself of the guilt, instead of stopping like Kaworu pleaded. The way I see it, Shinji is far more impacted by his death in 3.0 than he was in the TV series.

Fair enough. I did see a scene where. But that'd also mean that his role in this one is miniscule. Like what was the point of his role here apart froma monitor that track the collar's progress indicating that its pattern has shifted to blueIn the original, his presence was devastating because he was a friend who turned into an enemy.being Shinji's temporary friend?
Didn't he sayBut Kaworu had an active role of actuallyIn this one, the only role left for him was that ofbeing an Angel and actually fighting Shinji for a good while before eventually realizing that he's going after the wrong creature and then he gave up..Shinji's friend. His Angel role is completely subliminated
AgreedThis is what pissed me off the most. Bullshit contrived writing needed in order to make bullshit events occur.
He does question it,Agreedjust finished watching and what is wrong with shinja? He's been gone for 14 years and does not wonder what happen or why does no on explain what happen?
Nah, when Shinja finally catches on that he's just a pawn and everyone is playing him he packs his bags and attempts to fuck off. Not before another angel attacks and he's forced to return out of guilt, of course.Here's what happens when you every time you explain things to Shinji:
![]()
Yeah I wouldn't want him moping around my battlecruiser either.
It's gonna be probably a year or more for the western release.Wow, impressions here are not good =/
When is the DVD available in the UK? I need to see this.
While very pretty, this wasn't a very good film. Nothing makes sense. And not in the Evangelion "If you think about it, you can piece things together...", just in strange for the sake of strange.
In the manner of Red Letter Media, I ask the following questions.
How did Unit 01 get into space?
How did Kaworu's Unit 06 end up in Central Dogma?
Where is everyone? Toji's sister survived, so where is he? Kensuke? Class Rep?
Unit 08, 09, 13, where is 07, 10, 11, 12?
What the hell was NERV doing the last 14 years?
What has WILLE been doing the last 14 years?
The entire time skip was a nice idea, but it seems so wasted.
How did Unit 01 get into space?
I'm fine with it. It doesn't bother me at all. I think some fans are just 2D animation purists (which I do understand).Everyone hates the CG? The plot is what it is, but I thought the visuals looked great, just like all the other Rebuild movies.
I thought the CG works pretty well in several scenes and not so much in others. Would I prefer it all in 2D animation? Yeah sure but it's really not a huge deal to me.Everyone hates the CG? The plot is what it is, but I thought the visuals looked great, just like all the other Rebuild movies.

Though I will say that 4.0 preview looks really rough.Here's hoping it's unfinished footage or better yet, doesn't appear at all in the whole film lol
Well, while it's silly to disagree over aesthetics because they're so subjective, I really do think that Evangelion 3.33 is astonishingly ugly, even when compared compared to the previous Rebuild films which aren't exactly lookers to begin with.While very pretty, this wasn't a very good film. Nothing makes sense. And not in the Evangelion "If you think about it, you can piece things together...", just in strange for the sake of strange.
Almost nothing from the end of the 2.0 teaser showed up in 3.0.

Exactly!
Still waiting for 1080p/5.1... Fuck that weird 810p thing.

I posted this in the spoiler thread, butit's possible that everything that was shown in the 2.0 preview happened during the 14 year time skip
