Wow, the other reviewers are salt licks. At least the most popular one, with the score of 3. This was an excellent way to end Eva, and there are way less open questions and loopholes than you think if you just take the time to give it some thought instead of hating. Or those things simply do not matter, or they're just as open as any question you had before. More or less everything important is closed.
Are people hating this also because it's a middle finger to otakus, when NGE and EoE were EXACTLY the same? Didn't you see all of this coming by film
...
2, which mocked it super hard?
I think this is much more straightforward and kind of "too straightforward" actually of a movie, which is why I prefer EoE by far, but it is an excellent way to end the franchise. Just closes all the important questions and hits a few more times on the nail of the main message of Evangelion overall: "go enjoy life and stop using escapism through anime for everything".
I don't believe Anno is against anime entirely, he's against using it as escapism for your problems, and it probably reminds him of himself. And the message he's trying to convey is pretty good. Life is worth it in itself, you don't have to choose to exist in another, imaginary world.
I thought the choice of making the story easier to understand this time was great, too.
