I'm surprised this isn't the central plot device of some blockbuster property.

They didn't make a movie, but The Forever War is one of my all time favorite novels and deals with this situation exactly.

It's an important world building device in the book Chasm City, by Alastair Reynolds. Which is a fantastic book, highly recommend!
