Summary: Futuristic Jason In Space?
Review: WOW! I thought the Friday the 13th line could not come up with any more dumb ideas. I was sadly mistaken. In this film set in the future has Jason somehow getting into a space ship creating havoc to everything on board. This script/idea plus lack of star power puts in an hour and a half of garbage. However if you want to see Kane Hodder's last appearance of Jason then watch this. If you are planning on watching this for backstory for Freddy vs. Jason don't the script is way different, or for back story on Jason himself, Forget it. Just buy the previous sequels.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Why?
Review: They killed Jason Voorhees in "Jason Goes To Hell". Don't they know when to end a trilogy? Many of them tend to go downhill very fast when they decide to ressurrect a killer. This is no exception. They did not get anything right versus how they ended Part 9. All this movie is, for the most part, is Jason slashing people in a space craft. Nothing else fits: the storyline, the effects, etc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Obvious best of them all..."
Review: Jason X is not half as bad as everybody says it is. I mean, I really like the idea that Jason Voorhees, who is well-played once again by Kane Hodder, is now in space, stalking victims on a large spaceship. The plot is, Jason has been chained in some underground facility for over 10 years, and all that time, scientists have been studying him to find out why he can't be killed. While he's chained up, he has a drug needle stuck in his neck, loading him up good, but when a nonchalant security guard throws a cloth over him (apparently sick of being watched) it knocks the needle out of Jason's neck, and the behemoth comes back to his senses, breaks free, and the bloodbath begins, but very soon, he is cryogenically frozen all with, accidentally, a beautiful young woman named Rowan (Lexa Doig). Four-hundred and fifty-five years later, Jason and Rowan are discovered by a group of teens on an archeological dig on old Earth, which is a deserted wasteland in the film. They take the bodies back to their ship, and reanimate Rowan. But, unfortunately, Jason Voorhees defrosts himself and begins stalking and killing anyone he says aboard this massive ship. That's the reason I like this out of all the others, because it is different. You really do not always want Jason stalking brainless teens through the woods right after they've gotten off, that's just getting old. That's the problem with society these days, everybody's so fixated on the old stuff that they just shut out the new. Okay, so just because Freddy and Jason are going to fight each other, people are probably going to rant and rave on and on for months about that, complaining about the stupidest aspects possible, such as Freddy and Jason being in the same movie, or maybe Jason doesn't look good enough, or maybe Freddy looks too fake or too real, or perhaps . Jason X is a piece of Jason history, and whether people like it our not, it's here to stay and nobody can change that. But anyway, another reason that I really enjoyed this flick is because of Uber Jason. He's one of the reasons this film got five stars. I'd say Uber Jason is worth about a star and a half. In case you don't know, Uber Jason is a hulking, metal Jason that was formed on a supposedly wrecked reanimation table after the ship collided with a space station, and the ship's local and very sexy android reduced (shot) him to a steaming pile of meat on top of this reanimation table. Uber Jason is also a lot stronger. He must have busted down at least three metal doors, and he even managed to punch, quite easily, through a wall in the ship when an exploding walkway unexpectedly but at the same time intentionally propelled him out of the ship. Another reason I enjoyed Jason X is because of the scene, which lasts about ten minutes, where they go into the cargo hold of the ship, which is very large, stocked with crates, assorted chains, cranes, etc, many places for Jason to hide. Be warned, Jason X has an extremely high body count, which is 28. There are seven people dispatched in the prologue, which only lasts about six minutes. There's basically one kill after another. The humor level is above what you think you would see in a Jason movie, but many times it's very dark humor, because in one scene, Uber Jason does away with two virtual reality teenaged girls in a very odd way. All in all, Jason X is definitely the best Jason movie, hands down. It's somewhat funny, very suspenseful, and entirely entertaining. Any Jason fan should enjoy it if they have taste for something new and different. Thanks for reading my review.

Summary: Very Decent..
Review: Jason X, is a futureistick film, that has a simple plot. That being Jason killing everyone. Haven't we seen this before? Anyway, Jason X contains a list of kinda unknown actors, who do an ok good of getting killed. The only good thing about this movie, is that it has a nice arrange of deaths. Ranging from Jason Freezing a women's head frozen, then busting against the counter, to beating two topless women wrapped up in sleeping bags against the tree, and against each other.

This movie is your average horror movie, with no real good plot, but lots of killing. If you are into this types of movies, please rent this movie right now. If your not, then stay far away from this movie. Very..very...very far away.

Overall, Jason X is an OK movie to watch ONE TIME, not one to have on your shelf for future viewing. This movie is very decent, but not an Oscar winning movie.

Summary: "Jason X"
Review: This series has always been stupid and this TENTH! enstalment dosent help! Jason in space was the stupidest idea sience "Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal"! The effects are not even TV calibur and the acting is the worst I have ever sceen! The rookie director: James Issac will never get another job directing movie. The set desings are so bad, its like they put up a wall made some designs and put shiny things on it!
There is only one cool part in this movie (thats why I gave it 1 Star) when Jason impails the dude on a giant cork screw and the body spins around till it hits the botton! That was cool! But besides that the movie BLOWS!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Movie is a disgrace to the Jason legacy
Review: What kind of Mickey Mouse, PG rated,MTV real world, sci fi mini-series is this. This is no way compares to the other jason films. Infact is stains the Jason legacy. this movie is stupid and not worth watching. The film makes put no effort in making outer space or the space ship and the actors are stupid and can't act period. The space ship and looks extremely fake like somethin off a mini-series. The only good part in the film was when jason's body turned into all metal and that's at the end of the movie (go figure). I mean i could have made a better movie than this with a home video camra.The actors on this movie look like they were MTV real world. this film is completely [weak] and should have never been made. this crapy film makes jason look [weak] to me. [...]

Summary: Same old, same old
Review: This is the reason why they should just let this series rest in piece. It's the same mindless killing, stupid people getting slaughtered, and no plot. In the earlier parts of the series, he killed to get revenge, but after he became a zombie he just started doing it for no reason. Same with this movie, except he is in space killing the same type of people that show up in just about every other Friday the 13th movie! The acting is terrible, they were obviously just there to have fun and get killed. Also, wouldn't Jason have noticed the change in the setting? He did in Jason Takes Manhatten. It doesn't even look like a spaceship. It looks Farscape inspired (another series I don't care for) and just fake looking. Check out the original Nightmare On Elm Street and Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors(Freddy at his finest) instead. Those two movies have great plots, great acting, and Freddy is way scarier and kills people in more creative ways because he kills them in their dreams. Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: the WORST Jason movie ever!!!
Review: This movie is absolutely horrible. The plot is excruciating and is a constant bore during the duration of the film. I don't suggest anyone watch this movie unless they are ready to take a nap.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: interesting and suspensful
Review: jason X is the tenth film of this horror series that offers a whole different scene --- a spaceship ! Jason returns after his body is frozen using cryogenics and the bloody hunt is on ! But , towards the end something quite surprising . Terminator Jason ! This somewhat sci-fi / horror film will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through .

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jason in space
Review: This is a good horror movie.I like all the Friday The 13th movies, but this one is ok. It's good to have a new story, some special effects and scary good music.The composer Harry Manfredini has done a great job.I think "Friday the 13th-part 2 (1981),"Friday The 13th-The Final Chapter" (1984) and "Friday the 13th-part 7" (1988) is the best of the series.If you are a Jason-fan, buy this DVD and you will not be sorry.
I can't wait for "Jason XI".
