Evangelion 3.0, left me feeling bewildered and dissatisfied as it was difficult to follow the plot, and the characters appeared unrecognizable from their previous depictions. I found myself questioning who these new characters were and what was happening in the story. It was disappointing to see that Shinji's actions from the previous movie were not properly addressed and explained to him. Even though Shinji was rescued from danger, it felt like a pointless effort as he had a high likelihood of acting recklessly and endangering everyone again. Furthermore, it was disheartening to witness the way Shinji was treated, as if he was of no value and his concerns were disregarded. This only served to increase the probability of him acting out and potentially causing harm.
Although the music was excellent and the animation was beautiful, the overall tone of the movie was bleak and depressing. There was one scene that was particularly memorable. The "Curse of the Eva" did not provide any clarity on the ageless characters.
In conclusion, 3.0 did not meet the high standards set by the franchise, but it was not a terrible film either.
