Pandorum (2009 film)

Two astronauts, Bower and Payton , wake up from suspended animation to find themselves alone, with no memory of who they are, what they are doing, or what has happened to the crew of their 60,000 passenger sleeper ship, the Elysium. They are unable to access the ship's bridge and cannot communicate with any other members of the crew, including the flight team they are supposed to relieve.[5] While exploring the spacecraft under Payton's radio guidance, Bower talks with Payton about Pandorum, a psychological condition brought on by extended periods of deep-space travel and hyper-sleep (suspended animation) and its symptoms and effects, including severe paranoia, vivid hallucinations, and homicidal tendencies.

As Bower explores on, he encounters dead bodies and fast-moving humanoid creatures. Escaping from one of them, he then encounters other human survivors, and they work together to reach the ship's nuclear reactor. The reactor will fail permanently if Bower does not reset it very soon. Moving on, the group encounters another survivor, Leland, who tells them the story of what had happened before they awakened. Their mission is revealed to be one of desperation. Earth, suffering from massive overpopulation, dispatched the sleeper ship and its crew on a 123-year voyage to a new, Earth-like planet called Tanis to create a settlement. When the ship receives one last message from Earth, informing them that Earth was no more and that they were the last survivors, one of the three crew members (as there are usually three flight crew active at any one shift) went insane, killed his other two crew mates, then played God by awakening most of the crew and doing what he pleased with them. When he grew bored of it, he went back into suspended animation and left the rest of the crew awake. Genetic augments that every crew member had received prior to the mission (for quick adaptation to the new planet) had instead adapted them to the ship, turning them into the cannibalistic monsters that Bower and the other survivors have been encountering. Leland then renders them unconscious with gas. Upon awakening they find themselves chained up with the survivor about to kill them for food.

Meanwhile, Payton discovers another crew member, Gallo, who reveals that he was part of the flight crew that received the final message from Earth. But Gallo's account then diverges from what Bower had heard from the survivor. He claims that his other two crewmates suffered from an onset of Pandorum and that he was eventually obliged to kill them in self-defense. By now, most of the ship's population is either dead or mutated.

Bower manages to convince Leland to allow them to restart the ship's nuclear reactor. The group fights their way down there, and Bower gets it online in the nick of time. While moving through the passenger hypersleep storage area, he sees the pod for Payton's wife, and his memories now allow him to realize that Payton is not who he says he is. Payton is actually Gallo, and the "Gallo" that the audience has been seeing, is actually just the other part of "Payton"'s consciousness (a representation of his younger self), and the man who has been calling himself Payton is in fact the aged Gallo, who was the one to succumb to Pandorum and kill his other two crew mates. The other survivor that Bower met earlier, Leland, finds his way to Payton/Gallo but is killed when Payton stabs him through the left eye with a sedative. Bower finds his way to the bridge then fights with Payton/Gallo while simultaneously battling the symptoms of Pandorum, and during this he inadvertently causes a hull breach. The ship at this point is revealed to have actually been under water for 800 years now, having successfully arrived at the Earth-like planet of Tanis, their original destination, after 123 years of spaceflight. The ship's log shows the mission has been ongoing for a total of 923 years and it is now February of the year 3097. Water then starts pouring in, drowning Payton/Gallo.

Bower escapes with the last known survivor Nadia by ejecting his hypersleep pod from the ship. The hull breach causes the ship's computer to initiate an emergency evacuation, ejecting the remaining 1211 hibernating and unmutating crew members onto the watery surface of Tanis, with its beautiful scenery and two moons visible in the sky, that is to be the new home for humanity.
