‘The End Of Evangelion’ To Play In Theaters For Two Days Only

Brace yourselves for profound misery and catharsis — Hideaki Anno’s The End of Evangelion is playing theatrically. As a follow-up to Anno’s iconic anime series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, the film will play in theaters nationwide for two nights only on March 17 and 20, 2024.

Distributed by GKIDS, the release marks the first time the acclaimed film plays in theaters in North America. Originally released in 1997, the final movie version was initially created as an alternative ending to the ambiguous series finale. The original series, first released in 1995, buried itself in the abstract, especially its divisive finale. It ignited controversy, prompting the excess, gore, and nihilism of The End of Evangelion. Anno would once again go on to re-explore his own work and legacy with the rebuild series, with Evangelion 3.0+1.11 Thrice Upon a Time delivering a final note of hope.

The End of Evangelion is a dizzying, rapturous exercise in sheer abandon. While many fans have seen the film, there’s no denying its theatrical effect, and seeing certain scenes on the big screen is thrilling.

What is The End of Evangelion About

This final movie version was created as an alternative ending to the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION TV series, remaking the final two episodes from the series. SEELE plans an attack on NERV after failing to create a man-made Third Impact. After reaffirming both her own and her mother’s existence in a state of despair, Asuka returns and begins the counterattack. However, new enemies descend from the heavens. Meanwhile, Shinji witnesses the horrifying wreckage of Asuka’s EVA-02 while piloting EVA-01. Mass production models surround EVA-01 and perform a solemn ceremony. What does it mean to complete a human heart?

Release Date

Experience The End of Evangelion in theaters on March 17 and 20, 2024. Tickets are available now.
