There was no foreseeable warning before it happened - a catastrophe of unparalleled scale and magnitude overwhelmed the entire globe. This event, recorded in history as "The Second Impact," caused half the population of the Earth to perish and devastated the world. All that remains of Japan is Tokyo-3, a city that is now being attacked by giant creatures that seek to destroy mankind. These creatures are called Angels.
Fourteen year old Shinji Ikari is called to Tokyo-3 by his father who he hasn't seen in more than eight years. He is asked to come to the NERV headquarters to meet his father. His father reveals to him a gigantic humanoid weapons system that the special governmental agency has secretly developed to fight the Angels and then orders Shinji to pilot the giant artificial human Evangelion Unit One. With the fate of the world resting on his shoulders, how will the 14 year old boy Shinji fight? Wht is the truth behind "The Human Instrumentality Project," an operation somehow related to the "Second Impact"? And who is the true enemy? The Angels, NERV, the mysterious SEELE, or the demons held within the hearts of the people involved? Gendō Ikari, a man who holds many answers to these questions, watches silently and attentively as his son fights a desperate battle...

The story of a whiny 14-year-old kid who doesn't know what he wants or why he wants it, who gets put in a mecha and wham, go save the world. The boy goes, even though he's never driven a mecha. Why wouldn't he? As long as his papa watches and acknowledges his existence. And shows him love. So we have the existential problems of a 14-year-old and the existential problems of all of humanity intersecting throughout the film. (God knows what else they're crossing there, I can only guess.) I'll admit that it's nicely drawn, but it still didn't grab me. Looks like I won't be a fan of mecha anime... Seen with Czech dubbing.
