For those who have not seen the movie, read no further. Alan had some spoilers, here will be more.I like your idea and can agree with much of it. However, I believe this idea could have been implemented in a much more satisfying manner. Specifically, again, I refer to the final half hour of the movie, which is a structural mess.
Specifically, pulled out of the air are virtually omnipotent beings, but with extreme limitations which are apparently imposed strictly for dramatic purposes. They can recreate a human, given DNA, and the bear remarkably has a strand of hair. This much I can swallow. But then, nonsensically, comes a rap about the space-time stream which means that this human only has one day to be alive. Can there be any justification for this beyond the Spielbergian desire to evoke tears? It is arbitrary and manipulative. There are so many ways that this final meeting and parting could have been arranged that would not have felt like plot manipulations pulled completely out of the air. That is how it felt to me. That is why the emotional ending fell flat for me.
