Summary: Jason Goes to Space
Review: Jason X is the tenth film about Jason Voorhees where he is the subject of research on regeneration, but as expected something goes terrible wrong. Jason gets free and slaughters all in his presence, but a young female scientist gets away and luckily gets Jason caged in a cryogenic freezer. However, she gets stabbed through the door and gets frozen together with Jason. Almost a half millennium later a small group of researching students stumble across the room where Jason is frozen, and they are about to get a blood splatter surprise on their throats. Jason X does not provide much more than a gory and timid roller coaster that is extremely predictable, almost laughable.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Huge disappointment
Review: Horrible movie! People were cracking jokes as they were being killed, there were unnecessary sex scenes that didn't fit into the movie, a talking decapitated head- whatever. I was looking forward to this movie for a year because the theatrical release kept getting pushed back. I certainly won't get my hopes up for "Freddy Vs. Jason". I work at a video store and I've asked everyone who returned this movie what they thought, they all said it was the worst! BORING!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE KILLINGS ARE HILLARIOUS
Review: THE BEST PART AND THE FUNNIEST IS THE PART WHERE JASON FREEZES THIS CHICKS HEAD AND THEN BUSTS IT WIDE OPEN

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: can I be next??
Review: Jason! chop off my head! Please!
Maybe then the pain might go away. Believe me, pain is what you will get watching this low budget pile of tripe. Watch, say friday part 1-4 and then this. Its all over for this series. It has to be.
Here we have jason in space. He joins other notables such as pinhead from hellrasier and that leprechaun guy to make the journey. Hes frozen. So is some chick. There in a basement. $00 hundred years pass and knowone bothers to check on the guy with the machete in the freezer. The earth is uninhabitable in the future. Nonetheless, the power is still on. A team of explorers bring the two frozen folks on their spaceship and when thawed, chaos ensues.
The DVD is sharp and the sound is clear..but the effects are so bad, the clarity is wasted. The set for this looks like something from the old star trek TV series. I haven't seen the scorched earth thing (you know..the howling wind, the dust, the fires) done so poorly since alien 3 with a runner up award going to "Soldier". Then theres the acting. Yes i know, we can't expect to much from this series but at least the shleps in the earlier films were passable. This crew is made up of nothing but cardboard cut-outs. Theres the heroine of course. Always an innocent female trying to do the right thing. Theres the ship slut. Theres a nerd. Theres the macho man. Theres the weasily doctor (two of them actually!), and then theres the blond bombshell, supposedly a smart scientist type except she workes in tight strtch pants and a sports bra!!!!
Seriously folks,the best actor in this thing is Kane Hodder, the guy who plays Jason. He brings a certain something to the character that i like. The scene where he wants his machete back from one of the weasily doctors illustrates what i am saying here.
So whats good about this dvd other than kane Hodder. Well, the bimbo's are easy on the eyes. Thats about it.

Summary: I screamed even though nobody would hear it in space!
Review: This movie is so unbelievably cool, it's unbelievable! I was so excited when "Jason X" came out that I knew I would buy the DVD on the first possible day. The movie didn't dissapoint me, and neither does the DVD!!!

To summarize the plot: Jason (rejected from Hell) is captured and frozen in cyrogenic preservation. Many years go by, and Jason is thawed out by a band of scientists in the future. He is taken aboard their wicked-cool spaceship and his healing powers awake him. His rampage begins and eventually "evil gets an upgrade"!!!!!

Dispite having a low budget this movie makes the most of Jason. All but the smartest scientists are killed and even they have a tough time escaping. The last ten minutes reminded me of "Alien" which was a cool way to pay respect to another great movie. Jasons new look is very scary and he is not happy to be in the future!

If you are a Jason movie fan you will want this DVD. It has intresting narration by the directer and some "Jason's Life" type features. I'm so glad my Jason collection is complete. I just hope they make more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome movie....
Review: Despite mixed feelings from everyone about Jason X, I was pleased with the movie. Kinda like Jason goes to Hell, it throws a new twist on Jason. That, for one, got high marks from me. Admittedly, we've seen other horror icons in outer space before(i.e. Pinhead, Leprachaun) and that idea has worn thin through the years but we've never seen Jason there. Til' now.
Not only that but he gets a bold new look. Gone is the white hockey mask. Now, he sports a sleek new metal one, with demon red eyes to boot. Even his machete gets a sleek new design. It's about time that some of our favorite horror icons get a new facelift and are dusted off for a new generation. These guys had the guts to do it and I admire that.
Sure, it's not your average Jason movie but who wants it to be average, anyways. I really enjoyed it and aim on adding it to my Friday the 13th collection. You should, too.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's decent... for a Jason Vorhees film
Review: Jason X, the first Friday the 13th film in several years, tries to reinvent the classic serial killer. It's successful by having some good ideas, but it's a Jason Voorhees movie, how good can it possibly be?

Obviously I wasn't expecting anything phenomenal when I sat down to watch this film, just a fun slasher flick with my old buddy Jason. Not that I'm a big fan of the murderer, but I do, from time to time, enjoy his films on the guilty pleasure level. For the most part, though, I found this film to be sub par of most of his earlier films. Maybe it's just the slicker special effects and clearer picture that makes it seem like it's supposed to be better, but has the same bad acting and lousy plot as the others.

Of course, this one isn't meant to be quite as serious as most of his other films, just some of the corny acting, especially at the end, goes a little too far for my taste. There are some pretty cool moments though, such as when a female android gets tough and wails on Jason, when the monster becomes Uber-Jason, and a particular funny bit in a holographic-produced Crystal Lake. But these good moments take too much wading through uninspired scenes that have already been done to the umpteenth time in other slasher movies.

This one's good for a one time viewing for most horror fans, and maybe a spot on the DVD rack for the Friday the 13th completists out there, but otherwise not worth your time.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: barely transcends B movie
Review: The added sci-fi spin was a good ploy, and at first added interest for me, but the cheese just got more and more unbearable. I was glad when it was over. Rent, if you must.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Final Friday? I Think Not
Review: Once again Jason Voorhees strikes back after is so called "Final Friday". The tenth installment of the hockey-masked killer has arrived on video and dvd and it is killer, expecially the bonus materials!!! Jason X is one hell of a ride!
