Truly Dreadful Film
Dynamixor
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Jason X, the 10th installment of the Friday the 13th series, leaves the serene and eerie woodland backdrop behind and seeks out a new frontier... You guessed it: Space! (the final frontier). While at times you might not be able to shake the feeling that you are watching an even worse rip-off of 'Hellraiser: Bloodline", don't let that deter you from watching this little gem of a film. If you love gore and campy humor, Jason X delivers in spades. In fact, and perhaps not surprisingly (if you've seen the cover art and/or read the synopsis), this is quite possibly the silliest, campiest, most ridiculously implausible Friday the 13th in the series--and that's what makes it so great! Think 'Friday the 13th part IV' meets 'Lost in Space' meets the gag reel from 'Alien: Resurrection'--What could possibly go wrong?!Here are some highlights (mild spoiler alert): Jason is captured and brought to a crystal lake research facility where, thwarted in their many attempts to kill him, the scientists resolve to study his regenerative properties for the good of mankind (and some fat $$$, presumably). Following a struggle at the lab leading to a rupture in a cryogenic pod, Jason and a scientist both wind up frozen, and despite his otherwise steel imperviousness, Jason is somehow rendered inert. Fast forward 445 years and (all while the bogey man was sawing logs, mind you) humans have polluted the earth to the point of complete uninhabitability and have moved to a new planet: Earth 2. Ah hahahaha--ahem--excuse me... Some students on a trip to earth (and yes, crystal lake is a hot spot for post apocalypse Earth 1 vacationers) find the frozen bodies and bring them back to their spaceship where calamity (and hilarity) ensues. You might think that by the 10th Friday the 13th film they would be running out of inventive ways to kill people, but in this you would be mistaken (thanks, especially, to the new 'outer space' setting). As expected, Jason comes out of his 445 year nap swinging, slamming VR space campers against a tree while they're zipped up in a sleeping bag, and shattering another young lady's face against a table after shoving it into liquid nitrogen, just to mention a couple. All in all, it's a fast-paced, raucous good time, and the twists and turns are innumerable, as Jason is presumed dead no less than 3 times throughout the film, eventually falling victim to an explosion only to be resurrected as 'UBER-JASON'... Delightfully ridiculous!... Such a 'film' obviously deserves better than a 4.4. I'll give it a solid 5.5

Jason X is the second Friday the 13th movie I ever saw, while the movie isnt perfect I can still enjoy the movie some problem that I have about the movie is the CGI, it's terrible, I don't know why people hate this movie much I like how this movie tried something different with the franchise and it succeeds in that this movie isn't just a couple of teens go out in the woods and get killed this movie doesn't do that. So anyway you should check this movie out

For the fan Jason X was the worst thing that has ever happened to Friday the 13th series but as a guy that find Camp Crystal Lake freaking boring the idea of taking Jason Voorhees to outer space where he can slice dumb futuristic teenager into pieces sound bloody genius to me.All characters in this movie is just an object for Jason to testing his new workout location and upgrade beside Kay-Em 14 an android girl who pull out while a fight with Jason that both incredibly stupid and awesome at the same time.Of all the Friday the 13th movie I really can find myself watch Jason X again if i want a quick fun slasher time

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!
