4.0 out of 5 stars ITS JASON X BABY!!, April 15, 2002

By A Customer

I've recently just seen a copy of Jason X. Before seeing the movie, I was absolutely pumped. I mean we haven't seen a new "Friday" movie in nearly 10 years so this was really exciting for me. So how was it?

Well I am happy to say that while it does have its flaws, Jason X doesn't disappoint.

The opening credits start off very creatively(for a Jason movie that is) where we get to see inside Jason's head and get to see his brain and all. Pretty neat stuff, cause I never would of expected it in this movie. After the opening credits we start off at some research place where we get our first glimpse of ole jason where he is all chained up on a harness.(how he got there is beyond me) Scientists are studying him to try to find out what he is all about. From there Jason gets loose and the first killings begin. After a few kills, Jason and a hot girl are cryogenically frozen together only to be unfrozen 100s of years later and then the real carnage begins!!

Well, I can tell you that for a relatively low budget movie this baby looks pretty good. The set designs and space ship all look top notch. You'll be surprised you aren't watching James Camerons Aliens or something-they're that good.

As for the acting, well this is a Friday the 13th movie. So you cant expect anything top notch. Its not awful, (actually its probably the best in a while) but its nothing special. The teens are basically just as dumb as ever and you'll know who's gonna be killed. All they think about is sex,sex, and more sex. There are some very hot chicks in this movie, most notably, the lead female. Kane Hodder on the other hand is in fine form here. He does Jason better than anyone, and he just has this role down perfect. His look is a little different than in the previous movies but he's still the same badmother he's always been.Though you gottta wonder why his mask keeps changing from movie to movie. There is also an android character here that is surprisingly funny and enjoyable to watch(especially when we see her kicking Jasons ass) and was greatly appreciated here. As for the script,well it contains some pretty bad dialogue at times(as mentioned earlier, this is a Friday movie) but doesn't get out of hand too much. My favorite line has to be "Its gonna take more than that to bring this old dog down......yeah, that outta do it." This comes from the tough sergeant dude and is pretty funny.

Now, you're probably wondering about the gore. Is there alot? Or does it disappoint? Well i'd say its easily one of the more gruesome entries in a while. We get some creative killings here, my favorite being when Jason forces a girls head into some kind of frozen liquid where her head freezes completely and then Jason smashes her head against a counter top. Cool stuff. There's also plenty of gun shots at Jason. In the end, we get a pretty high body count here, probably one of the highest(if not highest) in the series. You won't be disappointed here.

And then there's the UBER Jason. I was mixed on this.On one hand its something new for the series, which is good because its basically been the same old same old for all the movies. On the other hand it seems kinda stupid seeing Jason all "high tech" looking. He basically looks like some kind of super robot. Ever see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles part 2? Remember Super Shredder? Uber Jason kinda reminded me of him alot. And that's not a good thing. Jason Voorhees should look like Jason Voorhees. Nuff said.

But in the end, I came out of the movie extremely satisfied. Just about all you could want in a Friday movie is here. I got all the Jason, blood and gore, and hot chicks I could ask for. Its Jason X baby, and you wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awaited culmination of horror, November 13, 2002

By 

Charles D Frost Jr. (Murfreesboro, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jason X (DVD)

Quite simply, this is the most intelligent "slasher flick" since...well...probably ever. This tenth installment of the Friday the Thirteenth series culminates the best parts of the series and pokes fun at itself for the worst. The plot is as deep as necessary, but not insultingly shallow as horror movies typically are. The teens being stalked are not as mindless as the genre's predecessors, and the stuntman-turned-actor Kane Hodder shows where his cult following comes from as Jason.
For those looking for new, creative death scenes, Jason X certainly delivers, with not one scene change leaving you wondering how Jason killed the last victim.
The writing doesn't worry with such matters as "How is Jason back from Hell?" or other trivial thoughts...he's just here, and he's not very happy about it.
From the horror fans, to the "I only watch at Halloween" buyers, Jason X is certainly deserving of ownership, because let's be honest, we all take pleasure in horror movies at one time or another, and this movie is just fun. If it was worth looking up a review on, you have enough interest for this movie to all out entertain you; not to mention there are a healthy amount of bonus features actually worth watching, including a history of the character Jason, and a making of Jason X.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to the series!, April 30, 2002

By 

Vlad Cuellar "vlad" (Falls CHurch, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

I'm a big fan of the Friday the 13th series in fact I have all 9 movies on tape and some on DVD. BUt even I wasn't expecting much from Jason X, but I was pleasantly surprised! THis is a VERY good action/horror movie. It starts in 2010 in Crystal Lake where Jason is being held captive and is about to be transported by the Army. Jason escapes but is frozen with a girl in a chamber. THey both are discovered more than 400 years later, by a spaceship of earthlings. Earth 1 is uninhabitable and they are to be transported to Earth 2. THis is great imagination and some very fresh story-telling. As expected Jason thaws out and runs amuck. THe kills here are spectacular! Jason kills one girl by freezing her head and then shattering it!! The directors and producers of this film did a magnificent job in giving new life to this over 20 year old franchise. THey didn't just make another sequel, they wove a great story with some great action and some good old-fashioned stalker horror thrown in. ANd this is after all a Jason film so at the end as a bonus they tie in the Crystal Lake origins to the film. THe ending is really over the top and I won't give it away because its THAT good! GO see this film in the theater if you get a chance, its a great movie for all us old-time Jason fans to get into, lets hope they make more Jason films!
