Upon rousing themselves from hyper-sleep, Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Bower (Ben Foster), a pair of crewmen assigned to work on a spacecraft, discover startling gaps in their collective memory -- including who they are and what, exactly, their mission was in the first place. The plot thickens when they realize they're not the only ones on board the ship.

Gotta concur with everyone else who has said anything about this movie. Frankly the most interesting parts were the (frustratingly brief) back-story on the mission, how the main character decided to become a crewman on the ship, and the twist at the end. The 'space monsters onboard killing people!' plot focus could have been done away with entirely and the movie would have been ten times more interesting.

Although I have to say the one flashback where Bower is outside the Brandenburg gate in Germany wearing an oxygen mask because of a dust storm and is looking up at a billboard advertising the chance to colonize another planet was an incredibly powerful image of the future.
