Two major inconsistencies:

There was one line in time, it originally went something like this (chronologically): Doug is revived at hospital, drives ambulance to Carroll, smashes through house, gets shot, saves Claire, goes to her house, she answers Beth, he moves magnets around on refrigerator (‘u can save her’), she tends his wounds, leaving the bloody gaze there. Now, he can’t have stopped the ferry from exploding, since this is the same line in time as we see in the present, because all of these things mentioned is there in the present, and therefore him stopping the ferry from exploding would also be there in the present. If there was more branches, there still wouldn’t be magnets and so on in the present, since they would be on a different branch in the time/space continuum (the one where the ferry doesn’t explode), which Doug would’ve created when going back into time and started changing significant things.

And the second one: He can’t possibly go back in time and prevent the ferry from blowing up, since, if it hasn’t blown up, why would he have any reason to go back in time? There’s one way to make this work, like they talked about, if he had created a new branch in time, a parellel universe, where the only change is the addition of him, which means there’ll be two of him, not connected. But they make that theory impossible from the first inconsistency, where some things have been changed in the past, and other things haven’t, which proves it’s not a different branch in time. The ferry blows up, but the magnets, ambulance and so on is also in the present, which means he must’ve done some of the things in the past, but not all, which doesn’t make sense since we know he saved Claire and the ferry in the past.

What I’m getting at is this: If the last part of the movie was a different branch in time we wouldn’t have seen stuff he changed in this branch, in the original branch, the present.

Just had to get that off my chest before I forgot it, I’ll write some more tomorrow. The movie went from a potentiel 7 or 8 out of 10 to a 6/10. Too bad.
