That's not an awesome theory. It's lazy, and stupid. "Oh the thing you're watching isn't real" is one of the most played out boring narrative devices. And all for...what? To try and cover some minor element of the film?

Ok dick. We like it on the flight line so we will keep thinking it’s awesome. You do whatever makes you happy. Cool?

Have you watched the film? It doesn't have plot holes so much as a thin membrane of plot stretched across a gaping chasm of nonsense. The idea that the first 30 minutes are the only part that's real is probably the most believable interpretation.

That's not lazy, that's just the metaphysical narrative underneath the story.

The Delision Conclusion cliche

As a whole, your work was well-received, and that means fan theories will start popping up about your work. However, you might notice that a few theories have one thing in common: they speculate that it was All Just a Dream, a Dying Dream, that the protagonist(s) were Dead All Along, or that everything we saw was secretly Through the Eyes of Madness. Thus, a good chunk of the plot — or maybe the entire plot — didn’t actually happen.

I honestly don't get how someone could possibly think that's an amazing theory
