Summary: More of an action
Review: The series of friday the 13th is so played out now that i'm so happy they made a plot change. Camp crystal lake was getting old. This movie was action packed but not scary.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Evil Gets an Upgrade... BIG TIME
Review: Believe it or not, this proved to be a pleasant surprise. After seeing "Freddy vs. Jason" I felt it was time to finally see the Jason movies once and for all. I have watched all 10 of them this weekend. Some were great... others were horrible. I was dreading the day I'd finally give this one a chance as I thought it would be terrible. Surprise, surprise, "Jason X" proves to be an entertaining addition to the Jason series that dishes out a bloody good time.

We've seen Jason in all sorts of periods of time... except for the future. That's right. The date is 2455 and a group of students stumble upon the body of Jason Voorhees. They take him to their ship hoping to find out more about him. Big mistake, as they have awaken the beast. Now he's controlling the ultimate bloodbath in space where nobody can save them now.

Like I said, I really did not expect this to be good. I was really surprised by how entertained I was by the movie. It is TEN TIMES better than "Jason Goes to Hell" (which in my mind was a complete disaster). Let's face it, when you go to see a Jason movie you're not looking for Shakespeare. You're not looking for an Orson Welles masterpiece. You want to see Jason brutally tear people apart with an assault of various weapons. And that's what "Jason X" accomplishes. And it even does it in a neat way. It sounds like it could be a mess, but the "space" setting is actually a neat and different approach to the already "legend" Jason movies. After all, you can only have Jason attacking campers at Crystal Lake so many times before it becomes old and tired. My hat is off to the originality that went behind the script.

The DVD has some really cool features. First, the movie looks AMAZING. A crystal clear picture quality all the way. The sound is impressive as well, as you can watch it in DTS if your system allows it. Special features include commentary, "Jump to a Death" option, a behind-the-scenes featurette, trailers and so much more. The best feature is the "Jump to a Death" feature which enables you to watch certain killings from the movie separately, at random, or all together. A very cool DVD that is more than impressive.

"Jason X" is what it is; a slasher flick with a new idea behind it. You're not going to watch it for the great acting, the in-depth plot or storyline, or to be intrigued and intellectually stimulated. You see it to watch Jason kill many, many people. You see it for the mayhem, the chaos and the brutality behind this masked fiend's bloodlust. While it's not the best one in the series, it definitely surpasses the bad ones in every way (mainly naming parts 3, 5 and "Jason Goes to Hell"). I have to admit it, it is a very enjoyable addition to the Jason series. If you're a fan of the hockey-masked killer, then I recommend it. You may be surprised. I know I was.

Summary: very cool
Review: C'mon people, this was a very cool film. Afterall, it great action, good special effects, awesome deaths, a high body count, and uber jason was awesome. What more could you ask for? Ok the whole Jason in space thing was dumb but that is the only thing that is the problem with this movie. Just look beyond and you'll see ths a good film. get it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is it a bird? No! Is it a plane? No! It's Jason!
Review: In a timeline far after FREDDY VS. JASON,the super-psycho killer Jason Vorhees is caught.But the schientists want to take him out of his prison,so they can understand the reason of his super-human powers.But they only manage to set him free.An accident then happens,and mr. Vorhees is frozen, waking up after 400 years!
The plot is much more simpler then in JASON GOES TO HELL,but the deaths are much more amusing.And to be honest with you, that's what I seek from this kind of movie.There is no horror in the movie,at least not for the horror fans.
The end leaves you with a big questionmark about the FRIDAY THE 13th saga, but I believe that this will be the last movie on the FRIDAY THE 13th timeline(but sure not the last movie,with FREDDY VS. JASON now playing in theatres).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Space?!?!
Review: This movie was terrible - the worst in the series after part 8. Jason in space cheapens the whole story and franchise. Good to see "Freddy v. Jason" improving on the damage done by this film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is killer
Review: This is a great movie in the Friday the 13th series. This movie is kinda gory, but sometimes its good for a Friday flick. Jason is really awsome in this one. Although he's not really the original looking Jason, the disfigured freak. When it shows his face in this one, his head is a normal shape. But other than that, this movie keeps to the original plot. Jason's out for blood in revenge of his mother's death. In this one, alot of people die, Jason's second death in this one is really cool. This girl gets a missle launcher and blows off his head, leg, arm, and heart. Then he turns into like a Terminator type of Jason, with this look, Freddy wouldn't have stood a chance against him. But the end is pretty good when they finally kill him for the third time.
In this one, it shows some of the original cast members of the original movie, along with camp crystal lake for a few minuets. Jason gets a body count of fourteen, this one is definately a great buy, lots of guns and explosions.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bodies will hit the floor.
Review: Here's the scoop: Jason Vorhees is cryogenically frozen with a victom and they both end up in the year 2455. A scientist wants to use Jason to boost his financail support. After he is brought back to life "Let the bodies hit the floor". He gets a cybernetic makeover and is deadlier than ever(if that's even possable). He kicks...and he don't care about taking names. I highly recomend this for any horror movie fan or any Friday the 13th fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jason X
Review: This movie is great but it is not as goo as Friday The 13th 8. It is cool when he has that cool knife and is new suit that was really cool. WORTH MONEY.

Jason X, Rated R, Starring Kane Hobber, AVALIABLE NOW

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 2 hours I will never get back
Review: Thank goodness that I only borrowed this movie from a friend! If I had actually paid money for it, even if only the couple bucks rental fee, I would be really really mad right now. As it is, I'm upset that I wasted 2 hours of my life for this garbage!!! I've never been a huge fan of the Jason movies, I prefer the Freddy movies, but I've seen all the Friday the 13th movies, so I felt somewhat obligated to watch this. What a huge mistake that was. Completely asinine, even for a horror film. I won't go into the plot, for 2 reasons. Everyone else already has, and I really didn't see much of a plot to begin with. This movie doesn't even rate B-flick status (and I like B movies). I hope they stop with the Jason movies, as it is completely obvious that they are running out of ways to bring him back. Although judging by the ending of this garbage film, I fear they just might be thinking of Friday the 13th Part 11. I really really hope I'm wrong. I obviously do not recommend this movie to anyone, even a fan of the series. If you do already own this, my condolences, and have you considered using this DVD as a drink coaster? That's really all it's good for.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Jason Goes To Space!!!
Review: Perhaps taking a cue from Pinhead and the Leprechaun, Jason has decided to take the always laughable and sometimes series-damning trip into outer space. He's already been to Manhatten and Hell so "space" should be a piece of cake, right?

This is less of a sequel and more of a good-natured lampooning of the series as a whole. We got slaughtered teens going back to the lab to reattach dismembered limbs, Jason beating up virtual nymphos, and of course, we get the big guy transforming into "Uber-Jason", an upgrade that makes him look like a villian in the next Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. Memo to Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Chucky, and all of the others: STAY OUT OF SPACE!!!
