*spoiler*
A few families from a resort go to a secluded beach recommended by a resort.
Something about the rocks makes time act differently on the beach. People age 1 year every 30 minutes.
The reveal is that a medical research company runs the sham resort and gets a bunch of different people with debilitating diseases to go to the beach after giving them a welcome cocktail which is really an experimental medicine.
The beach allows them to get a lifetime worth of research about the drug in roughly 1 day.
There is a lot of things that happen including a 20 minute gestation period between 6 year olds
The plot hole that drove me crazy is that they go out of the way to explain that the reason hair and fingernails don't grow is because the magic rocks only effect living cells. Then why the frick do dead bodies decompose in a matter of hours?!? That was part of how they discovered how fast time was passing.

That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

Good Lord, the synopsis for this movie sounds even worse than the shitty graphic novel from which it was adapted.

Sorry, school pet peeve. They are the most commonly confused words.
Like infer, imply...infamous, famous. Disinterested, uninterested.

Incorrect
The beach was basically sitting on and adjacent to magnets and they attributed the magnets as what caused the physical aging. Equally as stupid though
Anyway, this movie was awful. The way that the doctor dies was pretty cool and they had two gorgeous women, the woman in the beginning, and the doctors wife. But that was pretty much the only good things about the movie. I really wish they would’ve expounded on how the kids’ mental capacity was able to evolve as their physical aging evolved. Because I don’t think they ever touched on that at all. You have a six-year-old and an 11-year-old who by the end of the movie are in their 40s, and are able to rationalize like 40-year-olds

I wonder why the writer chose that pace. That’s too fast to even contemplate the changes. Aging 48 years in 24 hours? Gawdam.
