I thought the movie could have been a lot longer or that they could have split it up into two films to explain more things, but I think the end of that movie was appropriate--it's the only way that would eventually make sense, sad but true. I wanted to know more about the old lady. I wanted to know what he could do with his visions, but time ran out and the movie had to end.
