Summary: IN SPACE NO ONE WEARS HOCKEY MASKS
Review: In the long, tired Jason series, you have to admit putting him into space was a risk...and for the most part, it works. The special effex are very well done, and the use of holograms is neat and different. It just seems that they haven't improved much in the casting department; most of the victims were people we never got to know, so their deaths were rather meaningless. Lisa Ryder as the android was lively and an asset to the cast; David Cronenberg's cameo is effective. Jonathan Potts as Professor Lowe was too hammy without ever being threatening, as Paul Reiser was in Aliens. They needed somebody like Bruce Dern or Bill Paxton. Anyway, there's little new in this movie, Jason runs around killing people and the end has two or three climaxes. Jason has been fun for about eleven or twelve movies now; let's put him to rest and find a new kind of horror.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jason... IN SPACE!
Review: I thought the idea of Jason Voorhees in outer space was really dumb. I watched Jason X on Starz one day because I was bored. Jason X turned out to be a pretty good movie that I thoroghly enjoyed. I has plenty of humor and awesome kills. I recommend renting it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: so boooooring!!!!!
Review: i didnt like this movie because basically it has the same plot over and over again with nothin new added to it. and i thought the idea of jason killing people in a spaceship was really stupid who the hell ever came up with this crap? its so old and tiring. people in Hollywod obviously dont know how to make scary movies anymore.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Certainly Entertaining
Review: Jason certainly isn't a great movie when considering the overall movie entertainment industry output. However, for fans of the genre, it has more than enough to hold your interest.

I saw Parts I through III during their original release at theaters, but I hadn't seen any of the sequels since. I rented this on a whim to see in anything had changed. While the general theme remains intact--Jason slices and dices a group of young adults--this movie certainly throws a lot at the viewer. You've got cryonics, nanotechnology, space travel, androids, and holodecks.

The makers of the film obviously spent a great deal of money in putting it together. The special effects are pretty convincing and the sets are reasonably impressive. The acting is what you would expect in the series. Still, I found the KM android character, played by Lisa Ryder of Andromeda and Forever Knight fame, to be endearing. I especially liked the gleeful, and throughly macho, manner in which she dispatches the original Jason. Kane Hodder was...well...Kane Hodder.

I know traditionalists didn't like Jason's uber look after the nanites got ahold of him, but I rather liked it. The makeup and suit were visually impressive. I also liked the soundtrack. The music meshed quite well with story and flow.

Certainly worth a rental.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, enjoyable and cool
Review: Reading previous reviews two things struck me as rather hillarious. The first being reviews that disect this film for good or bad. Really, I enjoyed the film, but it shouldn't be something anyone puts a lot of thought into. It's fun, mindless and entertaining. Nuff said. If you like sci-fi and horror this film is great. It's no Aliens, but come on, what is?
The other funny thing was one reviewers comments on not wasting your money on this film and getting a good film like Freddy vs Jason instead. Strangely enough, I can't tell the difference. They're exactly the same type of film. If you can accept people coming back in dreams and from the grave/hell then why can't you accept them existing in the future? Bizarre. I guess if you don't like sci-fi AT ALL, don't watch this, but otherwise, don't miss it, it's a lot of fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jason X-cellent!
Review: I never saw a Friday the 13 flick in the theatres. The whole slasher trend passed me by. I am a fan of traditional horror in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft. But I was intrigued recently by Freddy versus Jason and decided to watch couple more of the more recent ones.

Jason X was surprisingly good! I liked the way they have evolved the conception of the character, which one would have to do, given the essential one-dimensionality of Jason. They have taken the path of the old Frankenstein movies and explained that Jason is some kind of super-mutant, not just a guy who, implausibly, can survive hails of bullets by sheer force of will. And now to take him into the future is another clever spin-off, especially the "upgrade"!

The Slasher in space motif seems much like the sequence in Hellraiser 4 when Pinhead and the gang appear on the space ship, but Jason X was much, much better. And the inevitable similarity to "Alien" was forgiveable.It didn't occupy too much of the movie.

The characters aren't bad; some are actually interesting. The present-day jargon was anachronistic, but then I realized: people will saying equivalent stupid stuff in the future, so what the heck?

This movie is funny, scary, gross, imaginative and, most surprising of all, has plenty of surprises when you thought they had utterly worn out the premise.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yuck!
Review: Horrible! Jason in space come on! Jason is frozen and is taken to space where the ship becomes a bloodbath.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A total waste of X dollars
Review: If are you feel like flushing federal bills down a toilet, then go ahead and buy Jason X. On the other hand, if you would like to have a good Jason movie, then buy Freddy vs. Jason.

Jason X (Jason in space) is a very bad movie. There are only 2 funny sceens that might make you laugh. The rest of the movie is just dumb.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Letter To America
