If you're already an Evangelion fan, absolutely watch it tonight—this sequel delivers stunning animation and deepens the mind-bending mythology. But if you're new to the franchise, skip this; it's a dense, confusing middle chapter that assumes you're already invested in Shinji's existential nightmare.

Plot

Under constant attack by monstrous creatures called Angels that seek to eradicate humankind, U.N. Special Agency NERV introduces two new EVA pilots to help defend the city of Tokyo-3: the mysterious Makinami Mari Illustrous and the intense Asuka Langley Shikinami. Meanwhile, Gendo Ikari and SEELE proceed with a secret project that involves both Rei and Shinji.
