Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time
In the aftermath of the Fourth Impact, stranded without their Evangelions, Shinji, Asuka and Rei find refuge in one of the rare pockets of humanity that still exist on the ruined planet Earth. There, each lives a life far different from their days as an Evangelion pilot. However, the danger to the world is far from over. A new impact is looming on the horizon—one that will prove to be the true end of Evangelion.
Critics Sentiment
Shinji provides closure to Gendo after seeing his trauma
Gendo reveals clone conspiracy and transcends humanity using Nebuchadnezzar
The film drops significantly during Gendo's exposition-heavy revelation sequence before soaring to its emotional peak with the father-son reconciliation.
The film starts strong with praised character development and village sequences, stumbles through complex middle exposition that many found incomprehensible, then recovers powerfully with emotional reconciliation and a satisfying hopeful conclusion. Critics consistently highlighted the character moments and thematic resolution while criticizing the dense technobabble and overly busy visuals in the action sequences.
