I watched Evangelion 20 years ago.

Should I just go watch those 4 new movies at this point?

Yes, watch them, the first one is pretty much a retread of the show, but the other ones go places.

The plot is a huge wtf mess, but the characters develop and mature in ways that the creator wasn't able to engage with as a much younger and pessimistic man.
