When a spaceship transporting colonists on a 90 year journey to a distant planet malfunctions causing a passenger to awaken from hibernation early, he must find a way to resume hibernation or die of old age.
This is a good concept to stretch ones loglineing muscles on because the premise needs as much an explanation as the plot - good choice. I haven't seen the film and so can only speculate on the story's particulars. It sounds, from the logline, as if the most immediate danger the MC faces is old age.Read more

I haven’t seen the film and so can only speculate on the story’s particulars. It sounds, from the logline, as if the most immediate danger the MC faces is old age.? Thinking about the concept alone would likely put most people to sleep, so what else was added to the story to increase the stakes? Did the authorities find out? Did the ship’s computer activate a system to try and kill him in fear that he may endanger the mission?

Bottom line is, it’s not clear what specifically happens to the girl, why, what she wants and to what end.

This is both vague and confusing. Sorry for the negative opening to my post, but the primary function of a logline is to clearly describe a plot, but in this case, the plot is unclear and the wording is confusing.
The main character is a biker girl ? good.
What is her inciting incident, or in other words, what motivates her to HAVE to take action for fear of something very bad happening?
What is her flaw, what is the characteristic that she must overcome over the course of the story?
Lastly, and most importantly, what is her goal? Without this last item there is no plot and without a plot there is no story.
I suggest you check out the ?Formula? tab for more information about constructing loglines.

In my opinion the concept suffers from a few fundemental problems which I have described in my post above, therefore, I won’t recount what has already been posted. You’re welcome to read back through the notes you’ve received already and study them in more detial instead of posting explenations as to why they’re wrong.
However, seeing as the major issues are not being understood I will elaborate on them for clarity’s sake. The first big problem is the lack of a clear, visual, and outer goal. This means the concept lacks a single objective that the MC can achieve, will be visibe to a camera and is clearly defined. To prove one’s love could mean any number of things;
Does he save all his food rations to prevent her from starving?
Does he break her instead of himself out of the camp?
Does he write a poem, a song or a novel to imortelize her in?
Any one of the above options could fall under the umbreal of “…prove his love to her…”. Therefore,? whatever his objective is needs to be made clear in the logline. Without a clearly described objective, or goal, the plot is unclear and describing the plot is the primary function of a logline.
Secondly, his inner journey is a derivative of his flaw and currently he has no flaw described in the logline. Your explenation of inner journey “… to evolve into a person who wants to define the reality from the isolated boy he was through his desire of love and pain…” doesn’t describe a flaw rather it elaborates on the situation he is in.? Ask yourself; Is he naive? Is he childish? Is he delusional? What is it about his character that needs to change in order for him to become a better person? then add that in.
