| Here
is a brief summary about the movies Death & Rebirth, End of
Evangelion, and Revival of Evangelion:
Evangelion: DEATH
is a 60 minute edit of Evangelion TV eps 1-24 (the image was cropped to fill the
1.85:1 film aspect ratio). Approximately 20 minutes of this film is new footage,
the rest is from the original TV episodes. The new footage used in DEATH
was being actually done for the Director's Cut of episode 21 through 24.
However, it was felt the new scenes that had been completed should also be added
to the theatrical run of the film.
Evangelion: REBIRTH was shown with DEATH as a double feature. REBIRTH
is the first 30 minutes of the film The End of Evangelion.
REBIRTH is composed entirely of new footage.
The End of Evangelion contains the
re-done episodes 25 and 26. Eps 25, movie edition, is entitled "Air"
and is given the subtitle of "Love is destructive."
Episode 26, movie edition, is entitled "Yours Sincerely" and the final
scene of this episode is given its own title, "One More Final: I need
you." Each episode of the film contain the "eye-catch" scenes
that the TV episodes included (white english text on black background in the
middle of the episode).
This is the film that completes the Evangelion saga.
Revival of Evangelion
was released in March of 1998 in Japan and contains a new edit of the original
Death film. It also contains the episodes that made up The End of Evangelion.
The full title of the film, therefore, is: Revival of Evangelion: Death(true)^2/Air/Yours
Sincerely
