I get the symbolism, it just fell flat to me because of how much it felt like a cop-out. To each their own, though.

I don't necessarily disagree with you; I'm just saying that it seemed to me that it was an intentional choice by the writers and director rather than a cop-out. A little bit of magical realism about how his drive manifested the technology he "needed" creating a monkey's paw situation.

Then again, I don't think I've seen the movie more than once since I saw it theaters, so I might just be reading too much into it and remembering it with rose-colored glasses.
