I've never bought the theory that EoE was Anno's big "F.U." to fans who didn't like the TV ending...the movie is simply made with too much care and attention to detail, the characters remain true to themselves, and the story hangs together quite well.
Admittedly, the first time I saw it, I was baffled by a lot of it, but that's probably mostly because I was watching it raw.
