Brilliant and touching

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

'Friday the 13th' may have been panned by critics when first released but since then it is one of the most famous and influential horror films, the franchise containing one of horror's most iconic villains. The film is popular enough to become a franchise and spawn several sequels of varying quality and generally inferior to the one that started it all off. Due to the location and incorporating space and sci-fi, on top of all the expected 'Friday the 13th' elements then some, 'Jason X' is certainly different and a little credit is due for that. For a 'Friday the 13th' film it and 'Jason Takes Manhattan' are pretty unique as far as the series goes. 'Jason X' is an example of different not really being a good thing. Interesting idea and understand totally what the film was trying to do, but it was messily executed. The strengths and faults are pretty much the same as with the previous entry 'Jason Goes to Hell', excepting 'Jason X' is marginally better because it tried to be different.A couple of creative and disturbing deaths and some inventive and stylish camera work lift 'Jason X' to a better level.One good performance too, which comes from Kane Hodder. Again creeping and chilling the socks off the viewer as Jason. However, those are the only praises really that can be given. The music is a little appealing on the ears, but it still doesn't have the eeriness and mystery that the pre-'Jason Goes to Hell' films had so brilliantly and doesn't fit as adeptly. That is the least bad though of the drawbacks, which are pretty much the same as those of the worst 'Friday the 13th' films but even worse than before. Again, like 'Jason Goes to Hell', while a good deal of 'Friday the 13th' films are silly, the silliness here is overkill that it becomes insultingly ridiculous. 'Jason X' is one of the most unique conceptually of the series, but it sure is one of the strangest to the point of overdone weirdness.'Jason X' tonally feels muddled and like it was trying to do too much with too many elements screaming of kitchen-sink. If it tried to do less it would perhaps have been a better film. Hodder aside, the acting is really horrendously amateur hour, even for the 'Friday the 13th' films where acting rarely was a strength. Likewise with the dialogue, which is even worse than 'Jason Goes to Hell', with 'Friday the 13th' at its most taking-simplicity-to-extremes, stilted, cheesiest and lacking in taste. Scariness and suspense is nil, instead going for witless comedy and gratuitous gore and nudity. The deaths go for quantity rather than quality, and generally are not particularly imaginative or creepy. The story is paper thin and confused, with too hectically paced storytelling and there is the sense that the series has gotten really stale even with a change in location.Overall, lame. 3/10 Bethany Cox

After the abysmal "Jason Goes to Hell," anything seemed better. And why not make a movie so the amount of instalments is an even 10? Luckily, this goes back to same non-serious fun Jason films of previous instalments. And after watching the previous Jason movie, it really elevated Jason X.After being sent to hell in "Jason Goes To Hell," Freddy obviously resurrects him and his body-count in growing. It is the mid 2000s and Jason has been captured and cryogenically frozen. They freeze him because they can't figure out a way to destroy him forever. Only the supernatural can do it! But Jason's brutish strength messes things up and he gets frozen with one of the researchers. Fast forward 450 years. A group of college students are travelling on a spaceship and stumble upon Jason and the girl. Both are thawed and then the movie turns into Alien with Jason as the monster. When we get to see the students and their professor, its pretty silly. Good for laughs. When Jason awakens and tries to destroy all, we actually become invested. When Jason gets upgraded into the most powerful he could ever be, it's pretty kick-ass.In the year 2455, some of the futuristic things we see is pretty cool. And a spaceship is cool to see in general. And add one of cinema's coolest monsters to wreck havoc. The way all this is added up makes the movie totally bad-ass. Sure the acting is dull and its not very smart, but the fights and Uber Jason are all so fun! I gave some earlier instalments thumbs up just because they were fun and they didn't demand to be taken seriously. Jason X is one of those.

This movie is the tenth sequel to "Friday the 13th". The number is gigantic, considering that the franchise never had a single spark of quality. This time, imagination led the writers to take Jason into space in an attempt to give the public something they had not yet seen. But changing the clothes does not make the content better, and the franchise has never had good content, and that's hardly likely to happen.

I remember how a sketch from an early episode of "MADtv" featured Jason Voorhees IN SPACE! I wonder how the creators of that sketch felt when this movie was released. Okay, it wasn't exactly the same, as this movie takes place in the future. I remember looking up Leonard Maltin's movie guide and being amazed at the sheer number of slasher films that his book seemed to be cluttered up with! I think "Friday The 13th" has the most numbered sequels of anything in his book. It was weird looking up plots and finding out the villains died in the last movie. Every single one of them is back! It was bad enough that they lied to us with "Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter". Then they lied AGAIN with "Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday". It looks like this is still the last canonical appearance of Jason in this timeline, although they simply made a remake years later. It's weird how they attempted to make the formula different in the last couple of movies. It's a pity they were just as dumb as the originals, if not worse. Anyway, this film features Jason being frozen for hundreds of years and then terrorizing the people on a spaceship. It's weird to see how these supposedly genius scientists are every bit as stupid as the kids on Crystal Lake.They just get killed off over and over like the dumb teenagers hundreds of years ago. I guess you could argue Jason simply became more powerful, but still they should know better. I was amazed at how awful the CGI was in the training simulation. I guess that might have been intentional, seeing as how it was a simulation, but it still looked hideous. We even got to see these guys die twice. I'm glad I watched this on Friday the 13th even if it wasn't in the title. I saw it on the Syfy Channel and honestly, it fit right there with their cheesy movies. *1/2
