rambofanlife-41678 Un watchable I can't stand this movie boring as hell. I couldn't continue watching it. Jason X more Jason in space is really awful horrible movie in my opinion. Whole movie makes no sense to me. This movie is unwatchable and incredible bad to watch. I can't comment anymore cause after 5 minutes in the movie I throw the disk out of my Blu-ray player. I can't decide which one is worse this or Jason Goes to Hell. Those two movies I can't stand. 1/10.

Sam Panico In 2010 - 9 years in the future! - Jason is captured by the U.S. government but can't be killed, so government scientist Rowan LaFontaine decides to place the killer is suspended animation. Of course, a bunch of soldiers screws the whole thing up and Jason kills everyone in his path before he stabs Rowan and freezing both of them.445 years later, Earth is ruined so everyone moves to Earth 2. So why not send some students back to the old Earth on a field trip? Why not send their professor and an android, too? While exploring the Crystal Lake facility where Jason was experimented on? And why not put the still frozen bodies of Jason and Rowan on the Grendel, their ship? Nothing bad can happen, right?Well, it turns out that Jason is dead and his body could be worth plenty. The Professor calls his money man, Dieter Perez (Robert A. Silverman, who has been in five Cronenberg* movies and the two episodes of Friday the 13th: The Series that he directed, too) and they discuss how Jason's body could be worth something to collectors. Luckily - or maybe not - they bring Rowan back to life.Of course, kids keep having sex around Jason, which brings the maniac back to life. He wipes out nearly everyone on the ship, including all of the soldiers that are on board. He even takes out an entire space station!The teens upgrade their android, KM-14, who wipes out Jason. Or so everyone thinks - a medical station brings him back as Uber Jason, filled with cybernetics so powerful that he can punch the android's head off. Not even a holographic simulation or a shuttle crash can slow him down! It takes flying him through re-entry and burning him up to take him out.That said - two teens see his mask land on Earth 2, so he could always come back. He can come back, right?This was written by Todd Farmer (Drive Angry, the remake of My Bloody Valentine) and directed by James Isaac (House 3). I have a real weakness for this film as it really goes places none of the others did. It's the Abbott and Costello school of running out of ideas and just doing something completely off the wall.*Cronenberg shows up in a cameo as Dr. Wimmer, too!

FreedomWatchTower (I am Reviewing this Film in the Context of the Series and as mildly as possible as an actual Film on its own)To quote a line from the Film itself which perfectly describes the Whole experience "This sucks on so many levels!". If one would want to describe the Whole Film in as sparse words as possible it could simply be described as "Jason in Space" or "Imagine Alien without the Alien but with Jason instead and much cheaper looking".First a bit about the Background of this Flick, it had the Biggest Budget of the main series (1-10) and it was meant as an re-igniter for the franchise, for the reason of "Jason goes to Hell" being the introduction for the long planned "Freddy vs Jason" (which finally came to fruition in 2003), one of the writers had the idea of Sending him to Space so the series could get a fresh entry.The problems of this sequel are to many to count, from unnecessary transition scenes that break the mood to a horrible and cheap sounding Film Score, Bad lighting, and and and. The Worst problem of this Sequel is that you can see and feel that the Sets got made cheap and fast and the CGI was worse than on most TV Shows that where made in the 90s and the Dialogues where laughable Bad (even for a Friday the 13th Film). There are so many scenes where you force yourself trough and think how in the F#@*ing Hell did this get green-lit. Some examples: One of the Characters gets grabbed trough a Wall by his throat and Jason Pushes his Machete through the Wall and his back, the character says something like "aah oh god, how could you think you can kill me like this" and Jason Punches another Sharp object through and the Character says "ah that's it two is better than one" and he faints. Or a scene near the End Where a protagonist gets sucked trough a whole and right before she falls trough she says "this sucks on so many levels". This Film made me angry as i was plowing through the Whole Series, which grew to my Heart even if most of them where Trash they at least where a Big Bumper Bag of Fun, this one is not. One highlight of this Flick was a Scene where trough VR technology Jason gets transported to the 80s Crystal Lake and kills two Chicks in old Classic fashion, and as a wink to one of his predecessors, he hammers a girl in a sleeping bag against a tree.This Film was an affront to everything that was Fun to the Series, the other Films where made way cheaper but managed to look way more expensive. The Director didn't seem to have enough of Fantasy and Vision, as laughable as the Idea may be imagine a more talented Director at the Helm. Ugly, Laughable, Boring and a Machete to the heart to one or mostly many fans of the Series. Don't watch this Film!!!

MaximumMadness Look, I'm gonna be up-front about this....I don't know why "Jason X" gets a free-pass from so many people. And I especially don't understand how so many people actually really enjoy it or find it "entertaining." I really just don't get the appeal of it at all, nor can I really figure out what it hopes to accomplish.It's a film that aspires to be so much more than it is, but it never lives up to even a hint of what it promises. It's a contradictory film from scene to scene. On one hand, it fancies itself a subversive satire along the lines of "Jason Lives", yet it only delivers the occasional jest at its own expense. On the other hand, if often plays the material straight for attempts at honest thrills, yet these are contradictory to its lighter moments. It occasionally gets the idea that it's an effects spectacle on the rare occasion for more complex sequences, but it's hindered by a low budget. Yet it also frequently seems aware of its cheap cost in other scenes.It's like watching someone trying desperately to put together two different jigsaw puzzles after the pieces have become inadvertently mixed together. Nothing fits.We all know the plot... It's "Friday the 13th" in space. Jason gets cryogenically frozen (along with sexy scientist Rowan, portrayed by Lexa Doig) in modern times, only to be awakened on a spaceship 400 years later, so he can hack up stupid, nubile teens... in the future!Blah, blah, blah. He kills a few, gets blown apart by a sexy android chick (Lisa Ryder), gets brought back with magical future medical-technology as a half-robotic "Uber Jason", and chaos ensues. (That was all in the trailer, so there's no spoilers there.) It's a rinse and repeat of almost every previous film, except now Jason gets a hokey new metallic costume and there's a lot of bad CGI and green-screen effects because, you know... the future! And space!To be fair and give credit where it is due, there's a few positive aspects here. Lisa Ryder steals the show as robotic "KM-14" in a delightful little role. There's also some fun to be had with a few high-concept gags like a laugh-out-loud holographic simulation of Crystal Lake in the 80's. And I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few creative kills. (Cryo-freezing someone's face and then smashing it? Yes, please!) There's also a cameo from filmmaking god David Cronenberg, who chews the scenery in a fun-albeit-brief role! (How did they even get him for this movie?! Is he a big Jason fan?)But the film never comes together as I said. I can't help but feel screenwriter Todd Farmer was aiming at something a lot bigger and more bombastic, but kept having to be dialed back by studio-suits and producers over budgetary concerns. A lot of the scenes and plot lines come across as last-minute back-ups that were thrown in in case the studio couldn't afford the intended sequences.The tragedy is that it had a golden opportunity to do so much more. The "Killer in Space" trope is such a widely-known cliché, that putting more effort into subverting and parodying the concept would have given the film a fresher, more unique flavor. It needed to drop its more serious moments and take full advantage of delivering self-aware laughs based around its setting and location. The few times it tries, it works. But it doesn't take enough advantage of this... it's not commenting on the silly "killer in space" trope. It's just another example of it being done poorly, while giving us an occasional fleeting wink and nod.Even beyond the failed potential, there's just a whole lot of nothing going on. The effects budget eats up too much money, so everything else- sets, costume design, etc. look cheap and fake. Director James Isaac seems in over his head, and only delivers a minimum effort in his visuals. Series composer Harry Manfredini- usually a reliable musician in his own right- barely seems to try with a really bad and often artificial-sounding synth soundtrack. And supporting roles are among the series worst, with grating characters being portrayed by dime-a-dozen "pretty face" actors who would be more at home on Hollister billboards than on-screen. (Shelly from Part III and Megan from Part VI still remain the high point of supporting roles even to this day.)So sadly, "Jason X" emerges as one of the weakest films in the series in my opinion. It may think it's something grander than it is, but we as an audience can see that this just isn't the case.It's a 2 out of 10 just for it's few fun moments. But they aren't worth having to slog through 90 minutes to get to.
