I think it's time to bring back discussion about this movie (SPOILER ALERT)

I don't think Jack was killed in Iraq, I think his amnesia was real. The portal was created as a result of it. One thing bugs me at the end when Jackie says : how much time do we have. Does it mean she knows Jack even though he altered the future by bringing back her mother to life ? Another crazy theory I read on here is that the boy who shot jack in Iraq and Dr Lorenson's friend's son who had seizures are the same person, if so what does it mean plot wise, I'm confused about that one. Also what happened to Damian the staff member turned patient in 2007 ? Last but not least, what medication is Dr Berth under ? What did he mean by "we're all dead Jack"

Weird, I always assumed they gave Jack a bunch of weird medication and pushed him into a type of isolation tank, and from there he traveled between possible realities. There is no evidence he died in Iraq and somehow made up the rest of the movie, those interpretations are lazy.

that theory is plain stupid as it doesn't justify what happens next.
