It's pretty, but it's much more straightforward than the show, and can't really surprise you the way that original did. Anno is not in the headspace he was with that original show, and some people will definitely notice and dislike that. It's all a lot of small deviations until the middle of the second movie. And even then many of those changes have yet to pay off. Some characters are closer to their manga interpretations than their anime ones, and that's fine with me too. I think this is mostly a function of having to cram 26 episodes into four two hour movies. The passage of time does feel weird though. There's also a new character, who seems to exist solely to sell merch, and that's kind of just trash. And I still don't know what to make of that third movie.

Cool things. Newly arranged soundtrack. There's a lot of classic EVA tracks here, but there are also some new ones and all of it sounds amazing. Every movie also releases with two versions of the soundtrack on which the songs are slightly different or even unique. If that's something that interests you, check those out. Also, yes. The show is really pretty. If you like high production values, it delivers.
