There are shows (Star Trek, The Outer Limits) with episodes similar to the plot I’ve described but I’m looking for a movie.

It’s not:  
The Time Travelers\* (1964).  
Journey to the Center of Time (1967).

**Release date: 1970-1990.**  
**Genre: Sci-fi.**

When the team arrives, it appears that everyone at the research stations is dead and frozen but later they find out that they’re alive and moving, but at a very slow rate.  
Inanimiate objects are affected by the mysterious circumstances as well, e.g. water can’t be poured out of a pitcher.

They find a car which doesn’t appear to be in a parked state and when they open the hood, they notice a cooling fan is very slowly rotating inside.

They try to communicate with the scientists but it takes them hours to scribble down a couple of words.
