Synopsis
Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone (2007) is the first film in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, available to watch online on iFILM. Directors Hideaki Anno, Kazuya Tsurumaki and Masayuki — the trio behind the original 1995 GAINAX series — rebuilt the opening arc from scratch at their new studio Khara, with Megumi Ogata returning to voice Shinji.
After an apocalyptic event called the Second Impact, Tokyo-3 is under attack from beings known as Angels. The only things that can stop them are Evangelion units — massive biomechanical weapons that need a human pilot. Shinji Ikari is fourteen, estranged from his father, and given exactly no time to think about it before he's strapped into EVA-01 and told to fight. The film doesn't ask whether that's fair.
The theatrical cut retells the first six episodes with overhauled animation and a closing sequence that quietly diverges from the original timeline. Fans of the TV series get a sharper, more cinematic version of a story they know; newcomers get a self-contained film about a kid used as a weapon by people who should know better. Watch Evangelion: 1.11 (2007) online on iFILM.
