Still shot from the movie: Pandorum.

Pandorum

It is normal to be a little confused when you first wake up, but the problem is bigger than that for Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Cpl. Bower (Ben Foster). Coming out of hibernation, the astronauts can’t remember who they are, or what they are doing in space. And their attempts to find some answers only leads to darker and more horrific questions.
