That's not a plot hole, that is leaving the ending up to your own imagination using the information that was provided to you earlier in the film. It was stated many many times he was coming back, and why/when.
They don't have to fucking show it to you if they've explained it already. That's the problem with shitty movies these days. Everyone expects everything to be wrapped up in a neat little package for them.
It's like with the movie
Seven Pounds, it should have ended at the black screen after he commits suicide. Everything that happened after was the whole plot line that was explained throughout the whole movie, showing it wasn't necessary. If anyone watched that movie and didn't know what was going to happen after he killed himself, well you're the reason movies suck these days and Hollywood has to dumb down their shit.

(3) Just where are they going that they can be there and back in just 3 years? The next closest star would take 4 years even at the speed of light!

Good questions, wouldn't consider them plot holes though right?
1. The physics of space travel even suggest that the amount of energy required for long distances. Negates any need for the travel in the first place. ie: To have that ability, you either have Unlimited power at your fingertips and have no need to find any - and/or- you are so enlightened there is no reason to search for anything.
So, I would just say - it's a movie - whatever.
2. We don't know if it was out of fuel
completely. We only know they didn't have enough fuel to get home.
3. Eh, we don't know what their space travel capabilities were. There were never any specifics mentioned on it. Maybe they could travel at five times the speed of light, and their home planet was 7.5 light years away (15 total both ways = 3 years).
Again, it's a movie - whatever
