I find it problematic a lot of people are conflating the idealized world Shinji sees in the TV ending with instrumentality. Instrumentality is the dissolving of souls--there are no divisions between people, and as such, and idealized world where there is a distinct Asuka, distinct Shinji, etc. can't be instrumentality. The idealized world is more to show that there are many possible worlds out there. This is blatantly spelled out; Shinji says, "this is me who isn't an Eva pilot." And that "thinking like that, the real world isn't so bad."
The idealized world in Eva episode 26 is to show how you can change your perspective on things; it's not at all what instrumentality is. The idealized world segment goes into everyone telling Shinji that he has control how to perceive the world, and this is his truth. Yes, you can be gloomy as many people are when it rains, yet there is the possibility to choose happiness. This ties into the idealized world because Shinji, the whole series, keeps obsessing over Eva Pilot! Shinji; yet he can choose to expand his world and see the other selves that are him, for example, happy student Shinji in the 'idealized world.'
Saying, "I belong here," doesn't mean here=instrumentality. He flexes his hand, which I think symbolizes control throughout the series ("what are your hands for?"), and is owning up to being able to control his truth in the world. 'Here' IS the real world. Now that he realizes he has control in how to perceive it, he feels comfortable returning to it.
Er. But you probably knew that.
Basically, the movie was not made because of death threats. It is the more coherent/more plot-filled version. If the TV ending happens in Shinji's mind/an interior of that, the movie is the external landscape of when this is going on. The reason there are 2 endings is becaus Gainax had no money. Not because they're different or because Anno was 'forced.' So yeah, I highly encourage watching it. It's dark, beautiful, and while not as uplifting in tone, the message is the same.
