Passengers (Movie, 2016)

On a spacecraft carrying 5,000 settlers and 250 crewmen - all cryogenically suspended - to a distant planet 120 earth-years away, something terrible happens. This is a very good character study movie of how people would react when placed in a situation of being completely alone. Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt deliver fine performances and manage to steam up the spaceship with their chemistry. 

As for Avalon itself, why bother with luxury space when everyone is asleep for 120 years, and why wake everyone up four months prior to arrival when it only takes two days to "recover" from suspended animation?
