I can’t recall the name or enough info to google. What I do remember…

The movie takes place in a space ship. The astronauts awaken from suspended animation not knowing where they are. They awaken at different times. There is mistrust. Apparently this has been going on a while as there are others on board who have evolved into other beings. The last shot shows the ship in a sea on another planet?

Ring any bells?

Sounds like Planet of the Apes, except for the distrust part. I think they argue about where they are, though.

Is [this](http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/planetoftheapes/images/e/e7/Icarus.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20061101150335)the ship?

No. Not that ship but similar. It’s not PotAs.

It sounds like _[Pandorum](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188729/)_. The [Wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandorum) has more plot description.

ETA: I am not **Morbo**. I only think and talk like him.
