It has its moments, but not enough of them

Rating: 5/10 (15 January 2017)

A man wakes up from deep sleep, ninety years too early, on a spacecraft hurtling through deep space, on a mission to colonise another planet. He gets bored, lonely, and decides to wake up a fellow female for companionship. They attempt to figure how to go back to sleep for the next century, while falling in love.
Awwww, innit cute?
No. No, it's not. It's creepy and manipulative.
While an interesting tale of stalking, manipulation, and possessiveness might have followed (maybe) what we get for a considerable portion of the run time is a wholly implausible, dippy little love story, a space opera which we know is meandering toward a contrived happy ending, given its A-list cast, and family friendly PG-rating.
Things do get a bit interesting when Lawrence Fishburne's character shows up, but he doesn't add a lot to the story, and has basically an extended cameo appearance, before the predictable tale of redemption and forgiveness kicks in.
The screenplay manipulates its audience as much as the characters manipulate each other, and while the film never sinks to being *bad*, it never has anything worth caring about. In a week, I'll probably forget I've even seen this one.
