UrsusArctos: This shelter, it turns out, is inside the Geofront. How did Shinji get into the Geofront to confront Zeruel faster than it would take an Eva to reach the surface on those high-speed launch rails, that too after he was outside the city? Dramatic license or not, it's ridiculous. It would've made far more sense for Shinji to have never left the Geofront before Zeruel struck.
