It's definitely not all CG.
As somebody who hates the original series but digs the new films, 3.0 was a good time. A lot to take in though.
They're all CG? I thought everyone complained about bad CG everything on the previous films. :|
The wait's going to suck.

what you got against clocks man
No, it's actually mostly positive. There are very vocal minorities which consider the CG in the movies bad, and go on and on about the death of traditional animation like a broken record.

Yeah, for all my complaints about the use of CGI in the movies it's actually well-done CGI.
Fake edit: waiting for the movie has made me check out the PS2 game "secret information"s and lol this shit is bananaz.

What exactly do you find so appealing about the new films? :|
um, it's called a cold open. fairly common movie technique. it'll get explained after the fact.
Many were! Below are all the BGM theme names from Evangelion: 2.0, as seen on the original sound track release:
『ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版：破』Blu-ray＆DVD said:
On that list, we have the annotations for each where "2EM" is 'Second Evangelion Movie' followed by a number that denotes the order of the composition as it appears on the film. After the underscore and talking about the part of the alphanumeric code I can understand, it figures the original source work of the composition re-arranged, with "KK" signaling tracks from His and Her Circumstances or 'KareKano' (while "EM" makes reference to the 'First Evangelion Movie', and "E" to an old series' theme rescued for this film but not for the previous one). "F" is final or fin. "A","B" and "C" mark different variations inside each hierarchy but, as in the case of His and Her Circumstances compositions, this can correspond to the exact same variation letter used for the original track, as Mr. Sagisu has been using this type of nomenclature since time and time ago.
For example; the track 19 called '2EM20_KK_A09_Kuriya' is based on 'KareKano's 'ichi-go ichi-e' (一期一会<A-9>, as I mentioned the same variation it figures on one OST of 'KareKano'), this is an expression translated habitually on this context as 'Treasure Every Moment'.
It is interesting to say that apparently those same tracks from His and Her Circumstances re-used were supposed to be on the original Neon Genesis Evangelion series, but it was decided not to include them. I don't know why.
As it always, always happens with this franchise... that or 'vice versa', were some people say this is closer to a really forced fan-fiction. No middle-of-the-road opinion here... and I love that! Insanity for all!

This thread.... HGGNNN MUST RESIST SPOILERS.
I just hope for a theatrical release in France. I saw 1.0, subbed, in a classy theater on a big ass screen and comfortable leather seats (And the theatre was almost empty).
But if that happens, it'll be probably a year after the asian BD release...

Stop being so tsundere Femme :l
And Yamashita is the best track. I was giddy when when that ended up being the track used in the Blu Ray menu
I was precisely thinking earlier if commenting about that specific track given the different nomenclature they gave it! It comes from the Japanese film The Man Who Stole The Sun:Stop being so tsundere Femme :l

The Man Who Stole Evangelion 2.22?!

Yeah, I actually came across that very article when I was looking up the Yamashita track a year ago. I was quite taken with it and wanted to know who composed it, but thanks for reminding me, I'll have to seek out The Man Who Stole the Sun sometime
That's rather in-depth. How did people learn that those Kare Kano songs were originally meant to be used in the Evangelion TV series?

Kare Kano also reused footage from Eva if I remember correctly. The first (only?) one that comes to mind is the explosion around episode thirteen or twelve or eleven with the loli.
I'll try to find you the source, but I think it was Mr. Sagisu himself who explained it.
He had blogs I visited around the time he released SHIRO'S SOONGBOOK ver 7.0, where you could see some insight into the production of past and (at the time) future songs for the franchise new theatrical movies, and I linked to them on some occasion (http://forum.evageeks.org/post/83273/Songs-and-BGM-For-Rebuild/#83273), but that has disappeared now and is difficult to search for specific related information now. Sorry!

First box office results are in, but not the national total for the first day. Instead the report right now only covers Shinjuku Wald 9, which is the cineplex which had the midnight opening for the film.
There are 9 screens in the cineplex, and from midnight until 6am on the opening day, it made 7,115,900yen with 4,087 tickets sold. The first day total at the cineplex for Eva 3.0 is 25,675,800yen with 15,290 tickets sold. All 9 screens at the cineplex was completely sold out for each of the 8 screenings during the day for each screen.

That sounds good, right?
Well, I saw it.
That was a very good movie. There was a certain pretty major plot point that I didn't quite get until I looked at the spoiler thread afterwards, but beyond that, it made sense. Like all the movies so far, it's pretty tightly focused on Shinji's story, and I kind of like the way they played with his character after the events of 2.0. His relationship with Kaworu works better here than it did in the series, IMO.
The logistics of what these organizations do makes no sense, but the show's never really cared about that stuff anyway, so whatever. Some of it looks pretty awesome. There's tons of CG, but I don't think everything is CG, and most of it looks great. Duckroll's future has arrived.
There are some ways it could have been better, but I don't want to blame too much on the movie when my poor Japanese comprehension got in the way an awful lot. I think the pacing is kind of unbalanced. There's nonstop action in the beginning, nonstop action in the end, and a lot of very introspective stuff through the middle section. I think some parts of the beginning could have used some room to breathe.
As someone who liked the TV series and liked 2.0, I liked this one too. Worth seeing.

This is what was worrying me about all those spoilers. There didn't seem to be enough balance between the character development and the action parts. Strangely, I think 1.0 is the only movie that reaches a perfect compromise.
I feel like the TV series hit upon such a great, special balance of action, plot progression and character development over the course of its run that this whole Rebuild business is superfluous. Even 1.0 felt compressed and lacking in depth compared to the same portion of the series (gee, I wonder why).
Should have made a sequel instead

Must resist the urges!!!!
I think a film about decades older versions of the surviving characters going through normal human problems, in a style like Anno's live action work, would be totally fascinating.
Yeah, I know it's a terrible idea

A million thanks guys! So much emotionz from the leads in 15 seconds. Hmmm at that Utada single. I was mostly ambivalent towards Heart Station but Beautiful World really grew on me due to being the Rebuild theme. Guess i'll check it out in iTunes
The new theme song sounds really sad, so it'll probably work great as the credits roll. Depression total.

It's a fantastic song that plays really well following the final chunk of the film.
Why isn't 4.0 out yet.
http://www.cinematoday.jp/page/N0047890
Yup. 1,131,004,600yen 2-day weekend total on 224 screens. That's about 14 million USD.

Completely random, but digging your new avatar.
I've commented elsewhere, but I live in Nagasaki City (not huge by any stretch of the imagination), but all the showings were pretty much booked. Me and my friend got the last two seats for a 1:00pm showing, and all the ones after were extremely close to being sold out. Huge lines going around the lobby. If Nagasaki City was like that, I can only imagine what the bigger cities must have looked like.
I also want to stress how wide the demographic seemed to be. You had some of the normal otaku types, but there were lots of middle/high school students, boys and girls, families, some elementary school kids, college students etc. At least in my area, everybody came out. Me and my buddy were sitting next to a kid who was probably 11, and when the movie finished he just looked at us and said (in JP) "Wasn't that AWESOME?" Yeah kid, it was.
220% increase from 2.0. Its great start. Hopefully it continues.
Thanks, but I'm not digging it! I lost a bet in Manga-GAF! >_<
