Summary: Take for what it is...
Review: In order to do something different, which everyone complains is not done enough these days, the producers of Jason X decided to put the walking murderous mongaloid into space. Set in the future, Jasons luck holds out as he is cryogeniclly frozen and discovered over 450 years later. As you can imagine, chaos ensues and the creative killing juices flow. Wastefully knocking off gorgeous female scientist students, professors and military grunts. Jason X is a lot of fun. I may have enjoyed it just because I was expecting something so much worse. But I have to admit, it was fun to watch Jason finally meet his match when he comes up against the lovely cybernetic android. Intrestingly, there are a few smart glimpses into Jason's biology explaining why he is the unstoppable killing machine that he is, giving some reason to the madness. Just don't take it to seriously and ignore those who expected someting more from a sci-fi slasher flick.

Summary: ...
Review: "Jason X" is such a waste of time and effort I wonder if all the names in the credits are maybe fake. It's basicly Jason by way of Alien as Jason is frozen in our time and thawed out 400 years later. Then he kills off students on a science vessle, much like the kids camping out on his lake. This is so bad it's hard to know where to start. Bad acting you've come to expect, but the stalk and slash scenes are badly done, and I thought the Uber-Jason idea was absolutely the scum at the bottom of this barrel. Humor is bad, setting is bad (looks like a basement). Despite how bad this and the last few others have been, I'm still looking forward to "Jason vs. Freddy". Glutten for punishment, I guess.

Summary: Please...Please...Don't Waste Your Time
Review: I love horror movies...the worse it is the more I love it (Read my other reviews and I think that will be obvious). But come on...what is going on with this movie?

Some may call me a purist, but Jason X is nothing like the rest of the series. I know this is not the first time that the writers tried to take a departure from the played out story line, but why not stick with what works. Perhaps if I lived under a rock for the last 25 years and had never heard of Friday the 13th, maybe I would have seen some light at the end of the tunnel for this movie. But I haven't and I didn't.

The one thing that always brings me back to the Friday the 13th series is the feeling of dread that I get when I watch them. You know what I mean, a house full of teenagers, never knowing where Jason is or what he is doing. Jason X didn't have that at all, and totally ruined the movie for me. It was more 'predictable' than the others and they showed far less gore than any other Jason movie.

Redeeming Qualities:
- The holographic camper seen (Hell Yeah! That was cool)
- Jason's first killing when he wakes up (creativity, I like that)

Other than that the movie was lackluster and uninspired. There is nothing wrong with taking a departure and trying something new, but never forget your roots.

Summary: I can't believe any studio released this.....
Review: Bad movies are nothing new and,at times, are quite enjoyable. This movie however is so bad that you can't help but wonder just what the hell the people making this film were on. I must admit that when I first heard of the premis of the film I was at least interested becouse I finally thought that some time and effort was going into the script. Well no such luck. This is just stupidity in space.
The plot surrounds the indestructable killer Jason Voorhees
has finally been caught and is now being sought after by the millitary to find out just what makes him the way he is. Well of course Jason kills everyone but one women who freezes herself and Jason solid. Well hundreds of years later Earth is now a barren wasteland (much like this series has become) and is only visited. On one mission a group of explores (Kids mostly) come to earth and find both Jason and the women. Well of course Jason gets unfrozen and he is now free to go hunting ...teens as he wants and in some very inventive ways (which is more than I can say for anything else in this movie).
This movie is so insulting that you find yourself rolling your eyes very early in the film. I have become very irritated when I see people making jokes right as their about to die and people acting in ways that are so unrealalistic that you can't help but be both bored and angry at the same time. The movie could have been at least entertainimg if they just tried a little but I guess that is way to much to ask for. I have often thought that in the right hands the last of the 13th movies could be somthing entertaining if not even scary. So I and sending a plea out to good horror directors like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, George A Romero, Sam Riami, Tobe Hooper, or Steven Spielberg (remember he did Duel and Jaws the man knows suspense) to please take over the next Friday the 13th project and try to save it. We can onlt hope it's not too late...

Summary: Improves on the series!
Review: I am a big time horror movie buff. Although my favorite series is The Nightmare on Elm Street movie, I love the Friday The 13th series. This movie provides no explanation for Jason's removal from hell because Freddy vs. Jason covers that. The premise was just [great], Jason's "upgrade" was really cool. If you collect this series of horror films, JASON X is ready for your collection. JUST A FUN FILM!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: bad if really sometimes watchable
Review: I didn't like this film well only neat special effects and seeing Andromeda's Lexa Doig,but this one could done better like filming it in hell not space,but this one featues Kane Hodder as frozen Jason and when not frozen he kills and gets a shiny suit at the end.awesome special effects but to routine and dull plot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What will they think of next?
Review: I personally hav not seen all of the the Friday the 13th movies but I have seen the first one and thought it was pretty good. Jason X starts off at Camp Crystal Lake were jason is waiting to be transported by the army. At it again jason begins knocking off the cast one by one, in a spectacular fashion. The one and only female to make it some how manages to get jason frozen and in the process getting stabbed and frozen to. A group of young kids stumble apon jason and the young female in the year 2455! As they bring the young female to life. Jason goes to work killing everyone in his path. It's really a good movie all of the way through and a good ending. I would reccomend this film to anybody a fan of the series. I can't wait to see Jason VS Freddy coming out this summer.

Summary: Im a fan of the series, but not of this film
Review: I have been a fan of the "Friday the 13th" movies, for as long as I can remember. I always enjoyed the films and even though they had no budget and sub-par acting at best they have alwasy been entertaining to sit through. That was at least until part 8. But when New Line Cinema took over the series, they ruruned it. Jason goes to Hell was the worst movies in the series (a plot would have help), and Jason X isn't far behind. I like most people waited 9 years to see this film, and I was very dissipointed. There was barely any plot, at least the others had character devolopment. Buy to complete a set, not to enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Second favorite in the series.
Review: Jason Voorees who had murdered a hell of a lot of people in the last 9 movies has now been crygenetically frozen, 400 years later somewhere in the distant future, a elite team of space researchers uncover Jason and a victim frozen. They bring them back to their spaceship, Jason is thawed out and now causing trouble on board, will they finally destroy him for sure?

Awesome Jason movie with great Efx, good gore, great new look for Jason Voorees, some decent acting, good script and nice new slaughterground for Jason to kill. There is a suprise apperence by famed horror/sci-fi director " David Cronenberg" ( Creator of "Scanners", " The Fly" and " Videodrome"), this is my second favorite next to " Jason Takes Manhatten", " Part III" and " Jason Lives", A must see!

The DVD is excellent with awesome digital sound and picture quality, Trailers, Commentary, Jump to a Death menu, and Documentaries, a must own DVD for horror and Sci-fi fans.

Can't wait for " Jason Vs. Freddy" coming this summer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I Don't Know Why This Was Even Made
Review: I've been a fan of the "Friday the 13th" series ever since I was in college, but this last installment really disappointed me. I thought "Jason X" was corny and even more unrealistic than the previous nine.

In this installment, Jason Vorhees is finally captured and kept locked up. That is until he escapes and begins to kill random people at will again. To keep him at bay, he is frozen and remains that way for many, many years until he is thawed out by a bunch of....you guessed it, teenagers, who are now living in space. Of course that was their death wish because Jason awakens angrier than ever (with new armor and facemask to boot) and is determined to wreak havoc and kill as much as he can.

To me, this film was made just to say that 10 films total in this series were completed. I am, however, looking forward to the future Jason vs. Freddie movie. I hope it's better than this one!
