At first the film had me expecting yet another variant on the "alien" formula. However, that turned out to be untrue. Actually, the movie's pretty atypical.
Essentially, there are people transporting supplies. Due to the long journey the crew enter hyper-sleep in shifts. The second shift people awoke and found they'd been asleep longer than had been intended. The first shift people were missing.
From there the mystery develops. There's no creature lurking around, though. Actually the threat is bacterial in nature. Meanwhile there's another ship attempting a rescue mission. The hyper-sleep crew are kept asleep, those being awake not wanting to introduce these people to a probably hopeless situation (the ship's low on energy and/or fuel).
Although the contamination behaves oddly - apparently infection can render someone delusional in seconds, and also get cured in seconds which strains credibility (it's also not clear exactly what the delusional people were thinking), ultimately I was interested in these people and what their eventual fate would be, so ultimately the premise is effective.
