Evangelion: 3.0+1.01: Thrice Upon a Time is the Final Evangelion Film from the much-loved franchise. The movie is a continuation of the Rebuild of Evangelion series. The film was released 8 years after its predecessor Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. Director Hideaki Anno made it clear that the intention is not to reboot the Neon Genesis Evangelion story but to retell what lies at the very heart of it.
The movie was released in Japan on Mach 8th 2021 and with a run time of 154 minutes, it is one of the longest animated feature films, only behind the likes of films like the Revival of Evangelion, In This Corner of the World and some more.
The Final Evangelion Film takes up everything that is much celebrated in the franchise and pieces it together in a 2.5-hour film. The Synopsis of The Final Evangelion Film given on IMDb says
Shinji Ikari is still adrift after losing his will to live, but the place he arrives at teaches him what it means to hope. Finally, the Instrumentality Project is set in motion and he will make one last grueling stand to prevent the Final Impact.
The project underwent multiple delays and was finally released in March 2021, 15 years after the release of the first movie.
