some bugs

I really like this movie. It belongs to a psychological thriller, and it is not very particular about its sci-fi setting. It can be seen that Shyamalan doesn't care much about the logic of the setting. But some bugs are quite obvious.

1) The adults are obviously not getting old as fast as the children.

Probably because the cast of adults can't be changed.

2) Their hunger is not reflected.

If a few minutes equates to a few days, then they should feel the physical sensation of "haven't eaten in a few days" and "haven't slept in a few days" from time to time. But it didn't show up in the movie. Just passing the bus driver gave them a lot of food hastily. But even more food is not enough.

3) Children grow up quickly, but their IQ, vocabulary, and language skills have suddenly become great. It doesn't make sense at all.

4) How did the male protagonist learn to doi? And have a baby with Kayla?

5) If a knife is cut on the body in a few seconds, it will recover, but some scars will leave permanent traces, but there is no such thing in the movie.

Additions are welcome. But don't criticize the movie for these bugs. Originally, this movie is a fantasy setting. It is normal to have bugs, and this beach cannot exist in the world.
