I wasn't planning on watching the movie so I read the synopsis on Wikipedia, and even though I thought it was dumb, the twist is pretty unexpected.

So the beach is real and actually does cause people to age like crazy.

But there's a team of medical researchers using the people who go to the beach (which is near a resort) as test subjects for drugs. The people take the drug and then it allows the researchers to see how the drug impacts people over their entire lifetime in only a single day.

His twists aren't bad because they're obvious, they're bad because they're so random that the average person couldn't guess them since he usually sucks at giving cluse.

Thank you, but why don't the folks simply leave the beach?

Why did that need to be added in? I didn't see the movie but that sounds needlessly added in for no reason.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

I mean, Sixth Sense was an astonishingly well made movie before we even saw the twist. And Unbreakable was ok. Still the best movie in the trilogy.

I'm glad I didn't waste my money to see this.

Nope. Its supposed to be a fable (at least the original story was), its just magic.

Because all his movies like this have some insane twist.

The source material never actually answered the question of how the beach worked, but evidently it drops a lot of hints that it's an experiment of some kind, so he obviously just ran with that to come up with his twist.

How do they monitor the results of the drug trial if no one can enter the beach?

The source material from what I see implies its aliens since if you try to leave the beach you see a flash of light and you end up back on the beach.

If it had been, this topic would've been nuked. You're kinda giving away that that's not the twist.

To be fair, I'm not going to see the movie. So I don't care what the twist is.

I read the synopsis on Wikipedia as I didn't plan on watching it and just the fact that a character is named Mid Size Sedan make me think I made the right choice.

Choose between:

"So the movie can happen"

Or

"Sir, I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about leaving the beach"
