Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It’s a very clever concept, and a cute touch that the very last vision might actually be real.
Con: Nothing is really done with the idea, and if the last scene isn’t meant to be real, then the story doesn’t even end.

Mildly amusing, but there's not enough to it.
