Can't say I agree with you, Chibi-Poe. The film completely revises and inverts several key relationships (most notably Touga-Utena), alters the personalities of several characters (flaky as Kozue is in the TV series, I don't think she's quite the kind of nuts we see in the bath scene), and eliminates some key themes and motifs -- like, for instance, the castle in the sky. If this is an "explanation" of the end of the series, it's on the same level of revisionism as the Evangelion "explanations". It's ultimately unsatisfying and mystifying. If you view it as an alternate universe, you don't have to expect it to make sense relative to the TV series.
