The year is 2455. The Place is Old Earth. Once the shimmering blue jewel of the galaxy, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled. Not to live, but to research the ancient rusting artifacts of the bygone civilizations that caused this environmental disaster. And little does the most recent landing party of intrepid young explorers realize the fate that awaits them.

By now, despite the nine years since the last Friday the 13th sequel, Jason and his hockey mask are as predictable a franchise as McDonald's. Moviegoers know what they are going to get. Go to Full Review

Jason X conjures up more giggles than scares, assuming you make it through the first 15 minutes. Go to Full Review

As far as the Friday series goes, this is more fun than anyone had any right to imagine. Go to Full Review

2/5
Abandons any sense of seriousness, which makes it a slight improvement on what came before it, though it comes across as more of a parody than anything else. Go to Full Review

3/5
Ten movies in, the franchise finally and mercifully becomes self-aware. Despite the weak plot and absence of a compelling final girl, the film’s sense of humor keeps the ship on course in one of the franchise’s more entertaining outings. Go to Full Review

It's not a good movie. Literally no one expects Jason X -- the 10th sequel in the Friday the 13th series -- to be good. Go to Full Review

B P @Bradster69 2d Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Alex B @AlexBioni 4d Jason in Space! This movie has male nipple grabbing, belly button licking, and VR heads getting cut off. What am I watching? The soundtrack is just as awful as Jason Goes to Hell, and the characters act like it's still 2000 even though they're in the future. The plot makes no sense and it's cheesy sci fi horror. However, this is stupid fun and a perfect turn your brain off movie. The blood and gore are finally here, and I liked the change of pace of putting Jason in the future as ridiculous as that sounds. Some of the kills are crazy, especially the face in the ice. I also like that the movie is self aware and knows exactly what kind of movie it is. I also like the upgraded Uber Jason design. He looks ridiculous but badass. The futuristic setting also reminded me of early 2000s sci fi movies like Doom and Resident Evil. Overall, it's pretty forgettable except for the fact that it's Jason in space. Honestly, that's enough to make it memorable. See more Bruce M @BruceMc 5d Oh, yeah, it's incredibly bad and stupid, but "Jason X" is a lot of fun and even has a David Cronenberg cameo. Certainly is better than "Jason Takes Manhattan." Plus, its always good to see Lexa Doig, Peter Mensah and Lisa Ryder. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 11 Se o outro era o pior este eu já não sei. See more Shadow R @GeminiShadowRealm Jul 3 Set 400 years in the future (the year 2455), a cryogenically frozen Jason Voorhees is awakened aboard a futuristic spaceship populated by military personnel and students. Upgraded into a futuristic cyborg, Jason stalks the sci-fi corridors with hyper-advanced speed and strength. Features an incredibly fast-paced, advanced version of Jason and incorporates highly unique, sci-fi environmental kills. The iconic liquid nitrogen face-smash is a franchise standout. The sudden sci-fi pivot completely strips away the classic, atmospheric camp horror aesthetic of the earlier films. See more Aram R @RT72234243 May 31 A clear example of what happens when a franchise is stretched too far. An over-the-top film with a forgettable soundtrack and absurd dialogue. It offers no meaningful reflection or criticism of any kind. The only noteworthy aspect is Jason’s new appearance, but it takes much more than good makeup to make a movie worthwhile.
