Jason X-cellent!, Avril 5 2004
Par Un client
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.

A total waste of X dollars, Avril 1 2004
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.

Good beginning but not enough to make it a good one !, Mars 28 2004
The opening is great and the beginning is interesting but quickly it becomes a joke. It's Jason meets Terminator in the Star Trek world ! From bad to worse. Great SFX though but the story is simply ridiculous. The last scene is a masterpiece in the STUPID genre but well, what can you expect by putting Jason in the space ! Good documentary in the special features about the friday the 13 th serie ;) Finally better than the whole movie.

If you're a fan, well worth the retnal, Mars 22 2004
There are those fans that want a slasher movie where Jason just hacks people up, and those fans that enjoy seeing the traditional slasher film (you know, the one that's been done nine other times already) with a new twist. Jason Goes to Hell was a throw away attempt that was semi-successful in its creativity. This time, Jason X gets a juiced up budget and a serious attempt at doing something new with everybody's favorite hockey masked serial killer. It's telling that Jason X doesn't have Friday the 13th in the title. Jason's killings were only loosely connected to Friday the 13th anyway. Now, Jason has taken his rightful throne as the lead character. This movie is for fans that like Jason. Just as Jason Goes to Hell took the ludicrous and made it sane by having a SWAT team blow Jason away in a trap, Jason X does the reverse: Jason has been captured, a logical outcome given that the government is aware of him, and sentenced to death. But he doesn't die. Thus, two different government factions attempt to deal with Jason in their own way. One group, at the Crystal Lake Cryogenics Facility, wants to freeze him and "shelve him away." The other group, led by the military, want to examine Jason for his regenerative capabilities. Of course, the government gets the upper hand and Jason escapes, only to be locked into cryogenic hibernation Rowan. But Jason is unstoppable and manages to shove his machete through the steel door, wounding Rowan and causing a leak that cryogenically freezes her as well. In 2455, the Earth has gone to crap. Exploring this barren wasteland are an archeologist and his class of attractive students, who discover Jason and Rowan and bring them back aboard their ship. Using nanite technology, they revive Rowan. Using Jason technology, he revives himself. Slice, kill, repeat. By moving Jason into space and using futuristic technology, there's a lot more possibilities to spice up the film. In fact, there are so many possibilities that the movie turns into a parody of Alien, right down to the EX-Grunts (Colonial Marines) and oily bureaucrat who wants to sell his find to get rich. If you're going to mimic a horror movie in space, Alien is the one to copy. The EX-Grunts die first, then the adults, then the students. Along the way, we see more nanite technology in action, witness a female andriod's nipples fall off, see a holodeck in action (like Star Trek: The Next Generation), watch really big guns have no effect on Jason, and see spaceships crash into each other. By far the most hilarious part of the movie is when the resident techie uses the holodeck to slow Jason down by creating an illusionary Camp Crystal Lake, complete with two naked teenage girls who proclaim "we love pre-marital sex!" as they climb into their sleeping bags. You know what happens next... Ultimately, Jason gets an upgrade, when nanite technology rebuilds him into a bigger, stronger, nastier version of himself. And then he falls through the atmosphere into Earth 2. And you know what happens next... I haven't seen all the Jason films, but I do know that they long stopped being scary and turned into campy fun at least around Jason Goes to Hell. Jason X is no different, with humorous nods to the genre and homage to Alien. The only movie that has more fun than Jason X is Freddy vs. Jason. If you're a fan of Friday the 13th or a fan of Alien, it's well worth the rental.

Could be alot better., Mars 13 2004
Par Un client
This movie is really a movie that you can only see once and say "we'll it wasn't bad". The movie could have been alot better, it takes to long for jason to get his up-grade, leaving the audience waiting with boredom. And one thing that really got to me is that Jason has a different hockey mask this time around, i liked the old hockey mask better. If theres a sequel and it's set at camp crystal lake it should be pretty good, but all the orginal "friday the 13th" movies were better than this.Maybe if this movie wasn't set aboard a space ship it would have been better.To improve this movie they should have made Jason get an up-grade quicker and half-way through they should end up at camp crystal lake.So if you're going to by this movie,don't. Just go and rent it out.If you do make the mistake of bying then you'll watch it once and never lay eyes upon it again.

Not too bad, Mars 12 2004
The plot is a bit slow, but the appearances by the robot girl and her cute creator make this watchable. Uber-Jason doesn't show up til the last few minutes of the film and the ending is a bit anti-climactic, but this film is light years ahead of Jason Goes To Hell.

"Jason X: Crap From The Future", Mars 4 2004
"New Line Cinema" continues to beat this series like a wounded dog & the fat lady is still singing. For anyone who cares, Jason is finally captured by the U.S. Government and is under biological study for his superhuman recuperative healing abilities. Jason, the big mouth that he is, has his say by killing all the guards and agents in the room. A female agent, however, lures Jason into a cryogenic freezing chamber & tries to freeze him. Of course this doesn't fit well with old hockeypuck and as he tries to break out of the chamber the room goes into automatic lockdown freezing everything in the room including the female agent and Big J. Fast forward to the year 4255. A group of high school students on a galactic field trip find the frigid female and the Jason-sicle intact. Things turn grim when its decided that both "specimens" should be brought back to their starship and thawed out for examination.This installment has the most special effects in any of the previous "Friday the 13th"'s but, the film as a whole just plain sucks. No character developement (like there was any in any of the earlier films with the exception of say, "Friday the 13th Part 3-D", where Jason donned his hockey mask). The last half of "Jason X" is just plain ludicrous (Uber-Jason?!, come on, people) The problem with the "Friday" films is this - with all the sequels & all the imitations ("Nightmare on Elm Street", "Hellraiser", "Scream", "Cabin Fever", etc.) it gets harder and harder to make a scary film. Because, its all formualic (kids go to destination to get layed, high, whatever + killer on the loose + gruesome deaths - character developement + scary ending = original "Friday the 13th"). In other words the films are getting old & some not all ("Friday the 13th", & "Halloween" are still great movies) do not stand the test of time. However, this film shouldn't have been given a chance. Avoid like a scorching, chaffing case of V.D.
