I just want to briefly offer a counter to a point I keep seeing brought up by negative reviews of this movie. The most often parroted point is that Evangelion 3.0+1.0 is bad fanfiction. And in regards to a number of elements or moments in the movie, they are completely correct. But they also seem to be under the impression that these things were unintentional. It was completely obvious to me upon my first watch that Anno was deliberately going way over the top with many elements to the point of intentional self-parody. Now if you want to criticize it from that perspective, that is ... totally fair. However, I feel like many people kind of missed the joke in all of this. And while it is certainly a messy story, the true heart and humanity of this film offers a counterbalance to the insanity that transpires throughout.
