  Most people would contend that the idea of putting Jason in space would be the worst idea that the filmmakers ever came up with in the history of the Friday the 13th series. Well, they would be both right and wrong at the same time. Let me put it this way: it is an awful idea, but the resulting movie, Jason X, is just so much fun that it's hard to overlook. It's bad, yes, but in an enjoyable way. It actually has a strange charm to it, even in the worst of scenes. It definitely has a hell of a lot more charm than the worst films in the series (such as the previous one). The story is that Jason and a woman, who he is in the middle of murdering, are cryogenically frozen and unthawed almost five centuries later on a ship in outer space, whereupon Jason runs amuck and kills everything in his path. Later in the film, he is reborn, yet again, and is basically a super-cyborg killing machine. Insane right? Well, it IS over-the-top (and I'm sure I'm gonna be accused of having double standards here), but for some reason, this whole concept and the way it's executed just works for me. It's not perfect by any means, but it is fun, and a good way for the original series to go out on, particulary with the ending that it has. Jason goes to space, kills everybody and lands on a new planet to kill everything again. So the original series of films ends on not a high note, but a mid-range note. I can't even begin to defend it any real way, but most people tend to think of it as the worst of the series. However, I don't, as it contains too much unintentional entertainment value.

  Professor Lowe: Guys, it's okay! He just wanted his machete back!  "Evil Gets An Upgrade" You know what the funniest thing is about how bad this movie is? It's still, in my opinion, not the worst in the Friday The 13th series. That's saying a lot because this movie blows. If there's one thing I don't understand; it's  Friday The 13th fans. All of the movies suck. There are 3 or 4 movies, I consider watchable; that's not to say they are likable. The whole series is shit. All of them are, for the most part, the exact same movie. There's nothing on the level of suspense because we've seen the movie before, the first 9 times it was done and guess what it sucked then too. I love how the makers of these movies think anyone gives a flying fuck about Jason. There's nothing scary about a retard who won't die. Jason X is definitely the worst idea in the franchise, but the sum total is a little more watchable then Jason Goes to Hell and Jason Takes Manhattan. I'd probably rank this as the third worst in the series. But it did give the viewers some valuable information for the future. One is that hockey is going to be outlawed in about 30 years. So everyone in North Dakota better get their hockey on hard for the next few decades. Another is that the future intergalactic researchers are going to be stupid, hot chicks with nice perky breasts, which means, we're fucked. There's nothing about this movie that can be considered entertaining. The special effects were some of the worst you'll ever see. The acting and dialogue was right down there with the rest of the series. No scares and no suspense kind of sums up this movie pretty well, and for that matter the entire franchise.

  It's so bad it's hilarious. All the deaths are hilarious. Grade: F

  While I can't say it's the greatest movie ever, this is a masterpiece among the stars. Jason not only causes havoc in his normal look, he turns into Uber Jason and completely destroys his adversaries. This movie's premise and execution is completely over the top and utterly ridiculous, but you have the most fun time watching it. The death scenes are overly violent and creative, just like they're supposed to be. Kane Hodder goes out with a bang and proves again how awesome he is as Jason Voorhees.

  Jason X sucks. Why the fu*k would you make Jason a Goddamn space cadet? Cheeeeeeeesy. Ultra Jason stars in this ultra stupid movie ruined by lots of HORRIBLE CGI. Bad, bad choice. Go back to Crystal Lake where you belong. Jeeze.

  Jason X is the worst in the series. The concept seemed pretty decent, Jason in space. But really, the film falls flat. This is actually the best looking Friday film because of the sets, but even nice looking sets don't redeem the film. Jason is a joke. During the film, Jason is reborn into Cyborg Jason, an armored plated Jason, which was the funniest part of the film, I mean the guy is really indestructible (not that he wasn't in the past) But the fact that he's become a bullet proof cyborg, adds a lot more comic relief to the film in my opinion. Jason X is a silly ride and is a film that asks the question, have the film makers finally run out of good ideas? My answer? Yes they have, they should've skipped and made Freddy Vs Jason instead of the film.

  I guess the only way is up! ..and into the future. It?s one way of continuing the franchise anyway. Not a bad film but I didn't like the cyborg Jason at the end much. Still, they can always do prequels to this film before he was frozen. How about a film about how they tried to… More
  I guess the only way is up! ..and into the future. It?s one way of continuing the franchise anyway. Not a bad film but I didn't like the cyborg Jason at the end much. Still, they can always do prequels to this film before he was frozen. How about a film about how they tried to kill him? A bit more original than the upcoming remake by Marcus 'I haven't an original bone in my body' Nispel!

  I went into Jason X thinking that this movie is going to be crap. It's Jason in space, of course it's going to be crap. And it is crap. Yet I'm still satisfied with it. It exceeded my expectations. Yeah, he was captured, frozen, found four hundred years later, taken on a ship, thawed, starts killing, blown to hell, regenerated, kills some more, but I was actually entertained because I knew I was going to have to think. It's like watching a Joe DeRita Three Stooges movie. You know it sucks, but it's still a good time. And he kills David Cronenberg. THE David Cronenberg!

  Jason X is the most fun in the franchise after the original. Yes it's stupid, but nowhere near as stupid as the body hopping of the last outing. Jason X is a simple fantasy of "what if Jason were in space?". He finds futuristic ways to kill people but mostly relies on ol' faithful. Some of the lines are genuinely funny "That'll do it" and "It's OK he just wanted his machete back". Lots of gore and a plot that is basically a cheap version of Alien. It kept me the most enthralled since the original and with punctuation between kills expanded to include an alien shoot 'em up simulation etc. It makes a change from all the same characters/settings, but in a good way. Fun if you like dumb enjoyable horror and naff sci-fi.

  Not so bad....It could have been a lot worse

  I think this was supposed to be a comedy. There's no other explanation. Much as I like seeing David Cronenberg onscreen, there is little else redeeming about this movie. Maybe it was going for camp. I don't know.

• A.D. V

  
  Scary, top-notch acting, a solid and original plot and it's told with dead seriousness; if you're expecting anything along those lines then you'll be severely disappointed. This is a gory, funny, one-liners abound goofball movie. A guilty pleasure pure and simple.

  In the tenth Friday the 13th franchise film, all bets are off: Any remaining fright factor left in the series is eschewed in favor of outright horror camp, and anyone expecting otherwise will be almost completely disappointed. The days of Jason's formulaic killing sprees on Camp Crystal Lake are long over, replaced instead with a "Jason Goes To Space" gimmick that cries out with pure cheese. But, if you're willing to accept this fact, and are properly prepared to take a dive into the "So bad it's good" movie genre, you may actually like what you get. Regardless of the fan-base's opinion, the writing team of Victor Miller and Todd Farmer seem to have sensed the fact that Jason's schtick was getting old, especially with the two less than stellar films that came before it in the series, "Jason Takes New York" and "Jason Goes To Hell," both of which suffered from the fact that bargain-basement production value had finally begun to work against the series. In response, they have Jason take his third field trip, this time into outer space, as well as centuries into the future. At face value this seems to be little more than just another desperate gimmick to keep the low-budget yet profitable series alive. But Jason X easily stakes its claim as the corniest of all the movies, and the only one able to laugh at itself, at least to any effective degree (disregarding the disastrously bad Jason Takes New York), allowing characters to utter Schwarzenegger-like one-liners for the first time in the series, while also adding in tongue-in-cheek subplots that make no pretense of being anything other than goofy. Be advised: Friday the 13th does not take itself seriously any more, though the script-writers may be the last people on earth that did to begin with. Meanwhile, the movie continues deliver on the standard that its predecessors set--a porn movie plot with gruesome murders instead of gratuitous sex. It is, after all, the painstakingly crafted death scenes that keep audiences coming back. Jason continues to alternate between murderous acts of machine-like efficiency, intermixed with more inventive gorefests of impalement, dismemberment, and other terrible fates for the film's C-list actors. The violence remains top-notch, even if the formula has been subtly altered

  Jason in space in the future! We all knew it would happen. Jason stumbles into a freezing chamber and is woken up in the far future, where a group of space kids(?!) are on a field trip. They bring him back to their space ship to study; but he gets accidentally thawed out and brought back to life. The fun begins! Like the Alien series, there's a greedy corporation who wants to use Jason. There's a wicked showdown with a sexy female android "K-M", a "holodeck" simulation of Camp Crystal Lake, vacuum chambers to kill people, an alien-like hunt through the dark cargo holds, a space-ship crash, and more! It's comedy. Things get really wild when Jason is upgraded into a metallic cyborg and becomes twice as powerful. Like all space-monster movies, the survivors need to set the ship on auto-destruct and hope that Jason will go boom! The ending is funny. It feels a bit medium-budget, but is everything a fan could want in a space-Jason movie. There's plenty of violence and topless-girls in space too. Enjoy!

  ... I liked this one. :) This film gets bashed a lot, but I found it quite entertaining. The whole idea of having 'Jason Vorhees' roaming around a spaceship in the year 2455 is a sight to see in itself! It was also fun to see Jason make good use of the futuristic impliments and technology to dismember the members of the unfortunate crew. Towards the end things did get a little bit too silly with the female android and then Jason getting upgraded to 'Cyborg' status, even though he looked quite awesome, it was a little over the top.

• Dean !

  
  It seems to be missing comedy from the lists of genres?? That's the only reason you should watch this as they try desperately to breathe new life into Jason who has died more than enough times already!

• Kylie B

  
  Okay but could've been better.

• Steve B

  
  It's like they looked at the script for ALIEN: RESURRECTION and wrote JASON in over all the Alien references.
