Evangelion Beyond

About This Movie

Evangelion Beyond (2023) presents a fresh take on the familiar Evangelion universe, crafting an atmosphere thick with despair and resilience. The Earth feels haunting, a character in itself, devastated and worn. The survivors, a new cast of boys and girls, bring a mix of youthful bravado and raw vulnerability as they pilot the Evangelions against the relentless Apostles. The use of practical effects and puppetry adds a tactile quality, grounding the surreal aspects of the story. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing the weight of loss and struggle to resonate deeply. It’s intriguing how this alternative narrative diverges yet somehow feels like a reflection of the original's themes of loneliness and connection. A distinct piece for fans looking to explore new dimensions of the franchise.
