Pandorum* sees Ben Foster as Corporal Bower: a member of the crew of the sleeper ship, Elysium, and a member of the crew who awakens from suspended animation with no memory of who he is.
It’s only when fellow flight crew member, Lieutenant Payton (Dennis Quaid) also awakens, he slowly begins to realise that they’re part of the crew on a ship destined to take the remains of the people of a heavily overpopulated Earth to an Earth-like planet called Tanis, that the two crew men realise that they can’t access the bridge.
Or the engine room, with its seriously unstable nuclear reactor.
And that some of the hibernating passengers appear to have been damaged in transit.
It’s only when Bower meets one or two other survivors he begins to realise that what and how he felt at the start of proceedings … isn’t quite the whole story …
