Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Brett Ratner
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Piven, Téa Leoni
After spending several days with his new family, Jack Campbell finds out that he actually likes the new way of living. However, the day he realises that he wants to continue this kind of life, Jack Campbells daughter, Annie, rings her bell. According to Cash, this is a sign that the "vision" will end. When Jack falls asleep, he wakes up the next day in his "real" life, in a hotel, as an investment broker again. He decides to take the last chance and prevent Kate from leaving to Paris. He stops her at the airport and tells her that he wants at least to talk to her, drinking coffee. The movie ends with a shot of Jack and Kate sitting in a cafe, talking.

Answer: More of an alternate reality. He really was living the life he'd have lived if he'd come back from his flight. The "angel" placed Jack in an alternate reality, then put him into the past in his original reality after he'd learned from his experience.
