I never had a problem with that 3rd act. I get why people might find it a little jarring genre-wise, but it was pretty damned relevant thematically. It wasn't gratuitous -- the ideas and themes introduced earlier played out in the 3rd act in a manner that created an actual synthesis, bringing them into sharp relief.

(Keeping the details intentionally vague since at least one person here hasn't seen the movie yet)
