I liked it they spent far too long on the big twist at the end though..

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.

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?

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

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.
