Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. (ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:Q Evangerion Shin Gekijōban: Kyū?, "Evangelion: The New Movie: Q", where the "Q" stands for "Quickening") is a 2012 Japanese animated science fiction film written and directed by Hideaki Anno and the third of four films released in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, based on the original anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. It was produced and co-distributed by Anno's Studio Khara and released in Japanese theaters on November 17, 2012.
Fourteen years after a worldwide cataclysm called Third Impact devastated the Earth, Asuka Langley Shikinami and Mari Illustrious Makinami, pilots of the Evangelion cyborgs, are sent into space to retrieve a container in which Evangelion Unit 01 and its pilot Shinji Ikari are sealed. When Asuka grabs the container with her Evangelion unit, it releases attack drones. Unit 01 awakens and destroys the drones, then deactivates and descends back to Earth. Kaworu Nagisa watches and says he has been waiting for Shinji.
Salvaged from Unit 01, Shinji is fitted with an explosive collar by WILLE, an organization headed by Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi. WILLE intends to destroy the paramilitary organization NERV and the Evangelion units. When more drones attack, WILLE launches the flying battleship Wunder and destroys them.
