The cryogenic freezing wouldn't be necessary if you could get really close to the speed of light due to time dilation.  That's one pretty big if though...

 

 Exactly right. This is one of the major problems I have with the backstory of Killzone 2. They have developer a space ship that can travel near the speed of light. They then develop a cryotek system to prevent the astronauts from aging which is entirely useless. Couple that with an ability to instantly communicate with a planet that is nearly 10 light years away and I have completely lost my ability to take the story seriously. Don't use a scifi background if you don't understand the basics behind the technology. I can accept technology that may or may not ever be possible because that is what scifi is about. I can't accept using it poorly.

Incidentally, this is another thing that Halo handles pretty well.
