Like they spent 30 minutes revealing the "twist" of who the baby was and who the father/husband was as if we didn't immediately know within half a second.

I did think that too. It becomes obvious he's the father the second you realise the visions are of the future, not the past, so it was a bit odd that a few of the later visions still treated it as a mystery who the father was. Not really a big deal though.

Spent 30 minutes?! Lol.
Would you rather the film have been like DING DING DING "he is him" - THE END - CREDITS
Yes, I knew too at the reveal and as I started to realise what we saw wasn't the past, but future. But that did not lesson the impact at all

Well, I didn't know. I prefer not to jump to conclusions with a movie.
Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?
