To my pleasant surprise, that movie didn't suck nearly as much as I expected it to.

Recently finished a Jerry Pournelle book series that relied on a similar technology. The problem there was that too many of the passengers ended up with “ice on the brain”, i,e, ice crystals causing small but permanent damage.

Besides "passengers", there is the Robinson Family in Lost In Space, disrupted from their sleep en route to Alpha Centauri.

There is also Forever Young, where the one guy who knew about Mel Gibson died and he woke up 50 years late. (I worked at Pratt & Whitney in East Hartford, CT as a contractor. I could imagine such an experiment being overlooked for 50 years in the bowels of the "M" building.

Oh, and let us not forget "Idiocracy". Like Gibson, the parties stay in place, but for all practical purposes wake up in another world.
