well, the movie was poo-pooed for many reasons, one of them being that IT JUST WASNT VERY GOOD...
It was also American, which threw people from the get-go, cause, c'mon, Who is a British show, how can Americans produce it and come up with the same thing? Aaaaannnndddd let's see, according to the movie, Seven died in a hospital in California because they couldn't figure out why he had two hearts and ended up killing him because they didn't realize he wasn't human, and he regenerated in a morgue away from his TARDIS and woke up with amnesia, and then later said he was "half human on his mother's side."
I know a lot of people dismiss the movie but... I guess technically is is canon, I mean, this isn't the first time Who has contradicted itself, right?
And Paul McGann, the actor who played Eight, is still playing Eight in the audio shows, and Eight is a totally messed up Doctor, always crossing his own timeline and stuff because he doesn't remember where and when he's already been. So basically, there's a whole other storyline out there going on with Eight that takes place after the movie but before the Time War, and it has still it was never actually been revealed how Eight regenerated into Nine, except we know that it must have been right before the episode "Rose" cause he was checkin' out his reflection.
