Clockstoppers

Clockstoppers (2002) is an American sci-fi adventure you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jonathan Frakes and starring Jesse Bradford and Paula Garcés. Released under the Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies banner, it was aimed squarely at family audiences.

Zak Gibbs digs through his scientist father's clutter and finds what looks like an ordinary wristwatch. It isn't. The device accelerates whoever wears it to roughly twenty-five times normal speed — everyone around them freezes mid-motion while the wearer moves freely. Zak and his new friend Francesca have a field day with it, until they learn a shadowy corporation is hunting the prototype and will do whatever it takes to get it back.

Frakes — best known for Star Trek — keeps the pace tight and the ninety-four minutes move without dragging. It's exactly the kind of movie that plays well for a twelve-year-old and holds up as a breezy rewatch years later. Stream Clockstoppers (2002) online on iFILM.
