Rating: Summary: Good Movie Unneeded humor Review: Jason x was an excellent movie! Some people say Jason in space was a bad idea, but to be perfectly honest it was a great idea. It had a very good plot in which Jason has finally been captured and is being researched. The head of the facility wants to transport him to another location but an intelligent scientist whose name is Rowan (Lexa Doig) thinks it is not safe to transport him because he is very capable of escaping. Rowan wants to cryogenically freeze him until they find a solution to execute him. Jason does escape, but Rowan intelligently tricks him into getting into the cryogenic chamber. But just as she turns on the chamber he stabs her and she gets frozen too. 400 years later they are discovered by a group of college kids on a field trip. They take both of them back to the ship and as they focus on unfreezing Rowan Jason unfreezes on his own. Then Jason begins his killing spree. There are some very creative deaths in this movie. But there is some dirty humor in this movie that is not needed. But all in all Jason X was truthfully the most worthy sequel to the Friday the 13th franchise. I would recomend any Jason fan or any person who goes to the movies to see this.
Rating: Summary: A Half Pleased F13 Fan Review: Like a lot of movies out there, there are people who will like the movie, or have total distaste for it. Jason X is one of those movies. After nine sequels, it's got to be pretty hard to think of something to keep a franchise fresh and new. Especially if your last sequel was almost a decade ago. Todd Farmer (writer) came up with the idea to place Jason in space and put a group of scientific teenagers up against him. Sounds entertaining enough yes? Of course! If it wasn't already done in Leprechaun In Space or that very bad Hellraiser movie that also took place in space. But, me being the movie lover I am and being a fan of the Friday the 13th films, I gave Jason X the benefit of a doubt and saw it on opening weekend. I was only half pleased. The first half of the film actually had me wanting to leave the theatre. I can count on one, well, with one finger how many entertaining moments there was for me in the first half. I began to get into Jason X when android girl, Kay-Em 14 (Lisa Ryder), found out she could kick Jason's butt. Their duel made for quite an entertaining watch. But she makes a mistake, by throwing him into a machine that makes him Uber-Jason. For me, this is when the film picked up as the remaining live ones run for their lives from the unbeatable Uber-Jason. Among the many disposable characters, I believe I found 2 that I could generally like. Or well, I absolutely loved Melyssa Ade's Janessa. She was full of spunk and had many good lines. I believe she and the last 40 or 30 minutes of the film is what's going to have me buying the dvd when it's released. I must make note that James Isaac did make good of use of shadows and spaceship lighting in the stalk scenes. That made for a bit more suspense. Jason X will undoubtedly become a forgettable part of the Friday the 13th series, and that's such a shame. It could have been better. Or not . . .
Rating: Summary: Wretched Film... Review: After originally hearing the plotline of Jason X about a year ago, the idea of having Jason Vorhees in space striked me as very idiotic. How did they sell this plot, honestly? Jason became a pop culture icon in the early 80s and was known worldwide for stalking and killing horny teenages at Camp Crystal Lake. While all the sequels weren't exactly stellar movies, the formula seemed to work well enough to pave the road for another sequel. They didn't all contain a great cast, or great storylines for that matter, but they did provide somewhat satisfying entertainment. Jason X, didn't hardly have that. After hearing the plotline, I immediately thought of how ridiculous it sounded and how horrible it would be. Then, I decided to keep an open mind. At least they were attempting something new with this very dead and exhausted franchise. And I couldn't help getting excited when I thought about the 80's Slashers possibly making a comeback. I allowed myself to develop hopes for this movie, and actually started anticipating its release. When I first saw the trailer, it looked amazingly good. My hopes for this film became very high. Jason in Space? Heck, it may actually be good! Shame on me. What was I thinking? This movie was hardly watchable. My friends and I were competing on who could release the most yawns during this snoozefest. It starts off as Jason in the year 2010, and he is cryogenically frozen alive only to be found several centuries in the future. His frozen body is then taken aboard a spaceship where he thaws out and starts stalking people once again. It was hardly believable, but then again, the whole series wasn't believable, so I didn't hold that against it. The series contained some of the worst acting, worst storylines, and worst dialogue ever produced. But most of them were at least enjoyable and considered by many as 'classics'. But, there was something very different and wrong about this movie. I don't know if taking him into space was overdoing it or what, but this movie is just plain bad. Not "guilty pleasure" bad as were its predecessors, but this was just bad all around. There were a few saving points however. There is one flashback type scene that is a somewhat of an ode to Camp Crystal Lake. It was certainly a joy and refreshment to see this scene, but it didn't last long, and it's one of the only saving points of this movie. However, there are also maybe one or two characters that you actually develop emotions for in this film. But, ultimately, this movie has got to be the worst film in the series. If you're going to do a Jason movie, do it right. Take him back to Camp Crystal Lake where he belongs. I wouldn't waste much money on this movie. It may not be bad to shell out a few bucks at the rental store when it's released if you're a loyal fan of the franchise, and want to see how it's continued, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for multiple viewing.
Rating: Summary: THIS IS THE STUPIDEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN LONG TIME!! Review: ...do not waste your money or time of your life to see such a dumb movie! i should sew the people that made this movie for making it so stupid! even though i never liked any of the friday th 13th's as much as halloween's but thats a whole dfferent subject. but there were no scares. the acting was corny. the plot was corny. the music was corny. the ending was corny and basically the whole thing was cony except one kill when jason freezes a girls head and smashes it on the counter, BUT THATS IT. and i was not the only one who didnt like it, the whole crowded theater thought it [stunk]...
Rating: Summary: X -tremely Bad Review: Jason in space?. Come on people!. That tells you something right there!. This is a movie that is a horrid attempt at bringing back the 80's slasher craze. It was fun, sure, but it just doesn't hold any water these days. This movie was excruciatingly awful. As bad as they come. The kills were okay, but there were too many and they happened too fast. The movie had horrible pacing. The director obviously had no clues on that subject. It was a mess and the film itself looked like a botched science experiment. Jason should've stayed dead. Very,very bad.
Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing!!!!! Review: This is the best Friday the 13th they have made to date!!!! It is a fantastic dark comedy with the gore we all adore!!! Long live Jason!!!!
Rating: Summary: WORST JASON MOVIE EVER BUT THE KILLINGS WHERE GOOD Review: THIS was the worst jason movie i have ever seen. what was the point of him going to space they just should of had it on earth where the other ones took plkace. the only reason i gave this 3 stars was one the killins where cool he freezes this girls head and then crushes it. that got one star the 2nd star came from when he killed so many people and the third one is when he pictures earth and these topless girls ask jason if he wants to have sex that was pretty funny so if you are going to watch this m,ovie watch it for those reasons.
Rating: Summary: What is going on??? Review: Okay, I seem to be alone on this, but I think that Jason X was awful. I mean, it had the basic elements of a Friday the 13th movie... horny teens and crazy killings, but it was in space! Who decided to put Jason Vorhees in space? I thought that was a horrible thing to do. I felt like I was watching Star Trek. I did give this three stars though because I thought that some of the killings were great. That one where he froze the girl's head and smashed it.. wonderful! I don't know... the other Jason movies are way better.
Rating: Summary: A Great Horror Film Review: To all Horror Film Fan(s) ... Jason Voorhies is back but the new Krystal Lake is outer space, and the first earth has been destroyed due to pollution or nuclear waste, and there is an earth 2. Jason is sealed up in 2008 with some cryogenic material that freezes him in time, and once he is let loose the plot gets good. The film has some elements from the past, such as the "hahaaaaa eehhheeeee" indicating when jason is going to slice some one. for me this motion picture rates an 9 and not 10 as to John Carpenters Ghosts of Mars. Jason X's producer/director did i believe a good job. He took it to another level and abandoned the earth vision. i feel as a fan(my opinion)that future friday the thirteenth parts should be held in space. space holds so many doors "portals" . the director/writer/producer can may place Jason Voorhees in other visions when fighting against mortal humans or space vampires. any way jason x the movie-super plot, and fine vision. movie is worth it.
Rating: Summary: A Great Horror Film Review: To all Horror Film Fan(s) I have to say That I viewed this film all by myself at the Cinemark Sunrise Mall 16 in Late or mid May when it came out and I have to say that the film was worth the price of the ticket.
