Rachel isn’t especially annoying, only when she screams but then it’s supposed to be irritating because that’s the effect it has on Ray. Plus, by the end she has run out of screams because she’s so disturbed by the whole ordeal, which is quite a dark ending for her.
I’d be very interested to discover that Robbie was supposed to have died, I mean that would be very bleak, and actually a deviation from the book which I believe has the main character’s wife ‘die’ only to miraculously appear at the end.
But I’m telling you something is very ‘off’ about Robbie at the end and the fact we don’t see his face, nor Rachel’s reaction to seeing him.
Yes, his character is irritating. Again, he’s sorta supposed to be because Ray is such a deadbeat dad plus he’s at that rebellious age. If the story is about a dysfunctional family bonding under extreme circumstances then they sorta have to be dicks to each other initially so that they can go on that ‘journey’.

Ha, I actually looked back a bit further to compare he and Tom's heights...the comparison at the end matches the rest of the movie so they got that right.
And good point about Rachel's reaction to him being there at the end too....there isn't one.
I never considered this being an altered ending before today. I like this movie overall, and you've added an interesting aspect.
