the thing that got me writing this review is the fact that this movie is one of (and maybe the only) the movies that has dared to venture so deep into human mind and emotion thus bringing to my mind the outstandingly-laid message of the heavily philosophical, emotionally-armed thoughts that plague humanity's mind in our everyday of life
the first half provides a very good measure of action in a wonderfully crafted artwork , so it delivers some of the much-awaited action this series has been lacking in the beginning
the second half however, is the whole depth of the movie (in my opinion)
again the fearless delving into core human relationships, emotions and subconsciously resurfacing introspective questions that race into the mind of all our characters as the world comes to an end, are all interwoven in a mind-blowing complex which kicks off a highly materialized climax as the main protagonist reaches deeply into himself for a choice
The movie leaves you with a sensation of loss, gratitude, and striking-awe the likes of which I have seldom experienced
Again to the people who have been disappointed by the show and how it ended, I say give it a try now with episodes 25-26 and then the movie because now they both work in tandem with each other, and hopefully they answer some of the irritating questions that arise from gaps in the plot
I for one think that some animes much like this one do not need a heavy closure, it is not made to be a full-understand-it-all show, and quite frankly if it did, it would have lost its luster and everlasting impact on any viewer willing to experience the unimaginable
