The movie Evangelion 1.0: you are (not) alone follows the depressed teenage boy Shinji as he is dragged into a fight for the survival of the human race. His father being head of NERV, humanity's last line of defence against the Angels, beings seemingly desiring nothing more than to reach Lillith, a being locked deep withing NERV, and initiating the Third Impact, an event that would probably wipe humanity from the face of the Earth. Shinji gets dragged into piloting an Eva, a machine capable of fighting the Angels.
The characters in this movie are amazing. Well it is really strange that something this great could be created by a depressed suicidal man but sometimes the stranges things happen. I am not sure wether is should be explaining the characters here because I think it is better to let everyone get to know them on their own. I can't help but cheer Shinji on in his fight against the angels, wanting to give up at every turn he is without doubt not your typical hero type. He is more of a regular schoolboy that just happened to get dragged into something beyond his control. This leads to the audience being able to connect with him to a certain degree. I certainly wouldn't want to be in his position.
The CG is top notch in this film and the voice acting is superb. Seeing that this is perhaps the most famous robot/mech anime in the world, only other real competitor is Gundam imo. The pure epicness of the film is bound to turn almost anyone into a fan. That said, I can't say that there is much of a soundtrack in this, probably just about 2-3 songs in the whole. The flow of the film is really normal and natural too. I doesn't come to a point where you feel that plot is being forced onward, it just flows naturally.
Well I would really recommend this one.
