Plot hole

I actually loved this movie despite its flaws. But I found a plot hole.
As the time change was like a layer, as you're passing through the layer, especially with such differences in time, you're going to have a few seconds where different parts of your body are running at different times.
Holy moly, I can't imagine what that would actually do to you. I would imagine instant death.

Obviously they had to just kinda leave this out to make the story work. But with the way they said they felt the air change, there was a distinct layer between times. Your entire body would have to pass through that layer instantly in order to avoid splitting yourself between different time speeds.

For a while, I forgot it was a movie. SPOILER - - - - - - the cut ropes freaked me out. But they were not cut?

The ropes break of age, at this part of the cave more likely several days/months/years passed.
Another theory more fitting to the overall rules: The ropes were untouched as they were in the same time bubble, but not the part they were attached to. So by going up the rope, they basically moved the rope that fast that they get cut through by friction.

There were some movie rules active in the movie. It might even justifible via the special relativity. So the whole body is moving all the time in the same time bubble and won't change until completly pass over. In the end, it's a movie and definitely one of the lesser problems.

I kept expecting something like that to happen. Like in the TNG episode when someone reaches for an apple in a fruit bowl that’s out of sync, their fingernails grow quickly. Or something.

It's not really a plot hole as they don't explain it, so in the story they could pass through and not have the body affected. If they had a scene like the one mentioned above from TNG, and then ignored it later on that would be a plot hole.

I'll throw a rope through your hole. There is one scene after the professor has been wounded that he is seen as speaking and moving slowly compared to the other actors but not completely frozen.
