Jason X

Plot synopsis:
In 2008, Jason Voorhees is captured by the U.S. government and is being held at the Crystal Lake Research Facility. Two years later, Rowan LaFontaine, a government scientist, decides to place Jason in cryogenic suspension after several unsuccessful attempts to kill him. While Private Samuel Johnson places a blanket on Jason (who is hanging in chains) Dr. Aloysius Bartholomew Wimmer, Segeant Marcus, and a few soldiers hope to conduct further research into Jason's rapid cellular regeneration and instead try to take Jason. They pull off the blanket of what is supposedly Jason, but find a dead Johnson instead. Having broken free of his restraints, Jason kills the team of soldiers. Wimmer is killed by being impaled with a thrown machete. Rowan then spots Marcus thrown through the door. Before dying, he tells her to run. Rowan successfully lures him into a cryonic pod and activates it. However, Jason ruptures the pod with his machete and stabs Rowan in the abdomen, spilling cryonic fluid into the sealed room and freezing them both.In the year 2455, Earth has become too polluted to support life and humanity has moved to a new planet, called Earth Two located about 20 light years in the next solar system. Three students, Tsunaron, Janessa, and Azrael are on a field trip to the ruins of Earth One, led by Professor Brandon Lowe who is accompanied by an android, KM-14. They enter the Crystal Lake facility and find the still frozen Jason and Rowan, whom they bring to their spaceship, the Grendel. Also on the ship are Lowe's remaining students, Kinsa, Waylander, and Stoney. Once there, they reanimate Rowan while Jason is pronounced dead and left in the morgue. Lowe's intern, Adrienne, is ordered to dissect Jason's body. Lowe, who is in serious debt, calls his financial backer Dieter Perez of the Solaris who notes that Jason's body could be worth a substantial amount to a collector.While Stoney has sex with Kinsa, Jason comes back to life, and kills Adrienne by sticking her head in a sink filled with liquid nitrogen and smashing it against a counter top. Jason then takes a machete-shaped surgical tool and makes his way through the ship. He kills Stoney by impaling him with the surgical tool, and drags him away, to Kinsa's horror. Seargent Brodski finds out, and leads a group of soldiers to attack Jason.Meanwhile, Jason attacks Dallas and Azrael playing a game. He kills Azrael by breaking his back, and later Dallas is killed after having his face smashed on the wall. He then tries to attack Crutch, but Brodski and his soldiers save him by gunning him down. Jason disappears, and Brodski splits them up. Jason kills them one by one though. Sven is killed by having his neck broken. Condor is impaled on a drill. Geko is murdered after Jason slits her throat. Jason attacks Kicker, but he shoots him, causing him to back up and get impaled on a grappel. While Kicker tells Brodski, Jason unhooks himself and splits Kicker in half, killing him. Brodski tries looking for his soldiers, but comes across the dead body of Briggs impaled on a hook. Brodski is then impaled by two spikes through a wall, injuring him.Lowe orders Pilot Lou to dock in on Solaris. As he is talking with the Solaris engineer, he is then killed by Jason. With no pilot, the ship crashes through a nearby space station, destroying it, and killing Dieter Perez, and everyone else on the Solaris. The crash damages one of the Grendel's pontoon sections. Jason breaks into the lab, reclaiming his machete and decapitates Lowe.With the ship badly damaged, the remaining survivors head for Grendel's shuttle, while Tsunaron heads elsewhere with KM-14. After finding Lou's remains, Crutch and Waylander prepare the shuttle. Rowan finds Brodski, but is too heavy for her to carry, so she leaves to get help. Waylander leaves to help with him, while Crutch prepares the shuttle himself. Suddenly, Crutch is attacked and killed by having his head smashed on the control panel.On board the shuttle, Kinsa has a panic attack and launches the shuttle without releasing the fuel line causing it to crash into the ship's hull and explode, immolating her. Suddenly, Seargent Brodski attacks Jason, but is easily overpowered. Tsunaron reappears with an upgraded KM-14, complete with an array of weapons and new combat skills. She fights Jason off and seemingly kills him, knocking him into a nanite-equipped medical station, and blasting off his right arm, left leg, his right rib cage and finally part of his head. The survivors send out a distress call and receive a reply from a nearby patrol shuttle.Nearly an hour passes, as the survivors begin setting explosive charges to separate the remaining pontoon from the main drive section. As they work, Jason is brought back to life by the damaged medical station. Since much of his biological tissue was destroyed, he is rebuilt as an even more powerful cyborg. Jason then easily defeats KM-14 by punching her head off. As Tsunaron picks up her still functioning head, Jason attacks them, but is stopped by Waylander, who sacrifices himself by setting off the charges while the others escape. Jason survives and is blown back onto the shuttle. He punches a hole through the hull, sucking out Janessa. A power failure with the docking door forces Brodski to go EVA to fix it.Meanwhile, a hard light holographic simulation of Crystal Lake is created to distract Jason, but he sees through the deception just as the door is fixed. Brodski confronts Jason so the rest can escape. As they leave, the pontoon explodes, again propelling Jason at high-speed towards the survivors, however, Brodski intercepts Jason in mid-flight and maneuvers them both into the atmosphere of Earth Two, apparently killing them both. Tsunaron assures KM-14 that he will build a new body for her while Rowan breathes a sigh of relief.On the planet, two teens beside a forest lake set off to find where a "falling star" landed as Jason's mask sinks to the bottom of the lake.

Review:
I think is MILES way better then Jason Goes to Hell and Miles way better movie then Hellraiser: Bloodline that was in outer space this movie is just better.7.years ago when I become a fan of Supernatural I heard that Jared Padalecki will be in the reboot Friday the 13th movie I rushed to see this movie.
I watch Friday the 13th the original, Friday the 13th Part 2, the (2009) reboot and this film Jason X and yes I like it.I thought this movie will copy Alien and Aliens but it didn't copy any of those films it was solid and it was original it had his own story.
I didn't thought this movie was bad I thought it was an interesting story that had a good action and a good slasher kills.Lexa Doig was an alright as the final girl tough it was a science fiction film it was still good and I will still watching it.
Lexa Doig was in The Tracker with Casper Van Dien and I liked that action film I haven't seen in a while.Jason Voorhees returns with a new look, a new machete, and his same murderous attitude as he is awakened on a spaceship in the 25th century.Lexa Doig worked in facility Crystal Lake in which they capture Jason Voorhees but he kills everyone and escapes but Rowan Lafontaine (Lexa Doig) freeze him and her self in 2008.
It is the tenth installment in the Friday the 13th film series and stars Kane Hodder in his fourth and final film appearance as the undead mass murderer Jason Voorhees and his futuristic counterpart, Uber Jason.This movie get's a C+ 6/10 wasn't that bad of a film but wasn't a great Jason slasher film either, but still it is my all time favorite guilty pleasure of mine.I have enjoyed this movie and I had fun watching it.
Honestly I have enjoyed this movie much more then I did Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan but that is just my opinion It is my favorite guilty pleasure of mine..
The fact that this is the tenth movie in the Friday the 13th franchise, the most knuckle-draggingly, ball-scratchingly cretinous 'horror' series of all time AND it's set in space doesn't exactly suggest that this'll be an all-time classic, but it's a good fun way to kill an hour and thirty minutes nonetheless.Okay, the plot is so thin even a slight breeze would make it disintegrate and the horror element is practically non-existent but then Jason movies abandoned that long ago in favour of just providing dumb escapism with inventive and bloody death scenes, which this film certainly provides.
There's even a later scene which pokes fun at the earlier movie's clichés with a hilarious "beating one camper to death with the other" sequence.This is not The Exorcist, it's not The Omen, it's even a very long way away from the original Friday The 13th, but as director James Isaac has said, "it's just fun." Get your mates round, pop open a beer, disengage brain and you've got a very entertaining ninety minutes..
Retrieving a relic of Jason Voorhees frozen in time, a group of students studying in the future find themselves stalked through their space-station home by the reawakened killer and must use the technology of the time to stop him.This was an absolutely fantastic entry which was one of the more enjoyable and exciting entries in the series.
The best part of this is the extremely high-impact action scenes, which generate the best times here, starting with the opening attack on the guards in the facility in rather fun fashion before the big chase that gets him frozen with her, while the retrieval and stowing him on-board gives this one some really good times along with the initial rampage through the ship resulting in a lot of cheesy goodness to come from having these scenes set in the futuristic landscape.
The action is non-stop, and there are many impressive scenes with this one, as the inclusion of the soldiers allows for some incredibly fun times with a spectacular stalking scene in a cargo-bay that generates some fine deaths and great suspense as Jason uses a ton of creativity to his kills which allows the great shoot-outs with the soldiers as well to generate even more good times with this one.
Coupled with a Jason that is absolutely menacing and scary and looks like he's having too much fun in the role and a few nice odes to the others in the series, there's not a lot wrong here.
It's really hard to believe that Jason is fooled by a holographic representation of Crystal Lake that's not even a full-on trick with the edges exposed, yet he still takes time to destroy holographs of two women who look like they belonged in the first movie and allow the good guys to escape, which is the biggest example here.
This time around, however, he gets and upgrade in the last 15-20 minutes of the film, and is turned into some kind of hybrid man/monster/machine killing apparatus.The dialogue is below even the worst standards, the plot far from new, the acting is just above kindergarten ability...
i think this a thoroughly good horror films which obviously will not match up to the shocks of the first in the series still does what is supposed to and in a fun way.
the only problem i have with the film is the cheesy ending in which Jason is ridden into the atmosphere which just looks so cheap it is unbelievable, apart from that i would recommend it to fans of the series and of the genre.
there are clever parts in the film and i particularly like the way Jason freezes a woman's head in ice before smashing it on the table, the way he falls back onto the regeneration table is kind of convenient yet this still does not ruin the film, obviously it could do better but it could also do a hell of a lot worse.
Lexa Doig, Kane Hodder, and Peter Mensah do surprisingly well with their characters and the material, which is the biggest asset for this movie.Filmed in March and April 2000, released in Germany in July 2001, Spain in November 2001, South America in January and February 2002, Stateside and the rest of the world did get it until at least the spring of 2002, giving this film probably the oddest, longest delayed release in the series' history..
On there way to Earth 2, JASON awakes to weak havoc upon the ship, only to be rebuild to the ultimate killing machine...literary!This movie is not meant to take itself serious as the last one, but to have fun with what they got.
The acting was pretty good for a horror film, the special effects were quite decent, there were plenty of laughably bad but fun scenes, and although the movie doesn't do its job of providing any truly horrifying moments, it does provide some tension.
One of the aspects of this film that contributed to its awful-ness was the large cast, many of which get only a moment of screen time, many of them look similar to others, and it is hard to keep track of who is who, until nearly everyone dies and you are left with a final few.The premise is rather silly too, while it was another attempt at taking Jason out of Crystal Lake, taking him to space, of all places, not to mention it being set years ahead in the future, was rather painful, to the viewer (as well as the characters in this film).
I believe that the premise of the Friday the 13th films, set at Crystal Lake, is what makes the Friday the 13th films so cool.The cast are, like many other Friday films, all Jason-fodder, and while there are a varying degree of personalities, most get so little screen time they are utterly forgettable, with the notable exception of Lexa Doig, who gives a terrific performance.Overall, this movie is worth a watch, but unlike other Friday the 13th films, it's one that you may only want to watch once..
You take Jason Voorhees and put him in a cryo-freeze, then thaw him up in the distant future and put him into space...It is, of course, a matter of taste and personal preference whether or not you like the tenth movie and its deviant turn away from its usual formula.
I enjoyed it, seeing it as a fun approach to the franchise.There were some interesting things throughout the movie, especially with what happens to Jason, which spurred the 'evil gets an upgrade' catchphrase of the movie.The effects were fun and good, as you have been witnessing all throughout the series of the movies.
And there were some good laughs here as well.And "Jason X" has Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees, which is more than enough of a reason to watch the movie.
And a special appearance by none other than David Cronenberg.If you like the "Friday the 13th" movies and want a break away from the usual setting of the Voorhees movies then sit down and Watch "Jason X".
Can't wait for Freddy Vs. Jason and all you people that hate this movie and hate Friday the 13th, keep your stupid lame opinions to yourself!
Let's just hope that if they do make another Friday 13th film hopefully it will be good as this one and that they bring Kane Hodder back as Jason Voorheis.
When I saw Jason X and I told people afterwards that I thought it sucked on ice, people usually say back, "Geez, what did you expect?" Well, like I said above I expected it to be good.There is a school of thought in horror fan circles that the Friday the 13th series is all crap; Horror of the lowest common demoniator.
With Parts 6, 8, and 9 all having their moments.Frankly, I was looking forward to seeing Jason X since it was the first of the series since the Scream movies made all things with slashers ironic.
Not as much blood and guts in this one yet, I believe this is one of the best i have ever seen.Finally the Jason series gets a good story with a reasonable budget and some reasonably good acting.
I really like this one, It's very different from the other Friday the 13th series and it has a lot more fun factor as opposed to just gratuitous violence and sex!I would rate this movie as 8/10 and i think any open minded Friday fan would enjoy it too..
Actualy the cast is pretty good as this sort of thing goes and the producers decided to have some fun with the concept, throwing in everything from an obvious "Alien" inspired storyline to a "Terminatrix" babe (played by Lisa Ryder, who like co-star Lexa Doig hails from the "Andromida" TV Series).
There is no mention of any of the usual roots of the Friday the 13th movie; there is no Camp Crystal Lake and no camp counsellors, so why does Jason feel the need to kill everyone off aboard the ship, if they have done nothing in the first place.
The human characters aren't just fodder though, they have entertaining personalities and fun dialog which'll keep your interest even when jason isn't there to turn them into red smears.Jason X is particularly a movie for those at least marginally familiar with the Friday line.
Less of a review of the film, more sheer confusion at the spate of poor comments this film has received.Maybe the large percentage of 'critics' are not popcorn munching Friday fans?Okay so the space setting may be a little removed from the norm, but hey, they had to get out of that forest eventually, and to be honest, so long as Jason commits his usual string of violent original deaths, who cares where he is.Anyway, back to that string of violent Death, many of Jason's best kills are in this movie (among the 30 odd he dispatches!) the frozen face smash, the corkscrew, even a send up of the sleeping bag kill and my favourite, the stylish neck break and throw to the floor (arguably just because I hated the kid he done it to so much =0) Lets be fair, that's all this film ever promised, and hell does it deliver.To put it into perspective, This film is about Jason, not the dumb kids smoking weed while they should have been in acting class, its about Jason, and in this movie Jason is quite simply 'cool', he looks great (I like the new mask, although I appreciate some do not) he moves great, he kills better.
I only hope this Kirt dude can get Jason down as well as Mr Hodder!!If you were expecting a sci fi action, go watch NemesisAs a general movie, for people new to the franchise, I'd give this 8/10For Friday Fans 9.9/10So stop be so negative, and enjoy this mayhem for what it is, erm..
All Jason movies are fun to go watch with friends and have a good time.
As Alice COOPER sang it during the end credits of JASON LIVES: "He's back, the man behind the mask" for his best carnage since FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE NEW BLOOD that introduced the stunt man Kane HODDER as the definitive incarnation of Jason VOORHEES.For the second time, Jason returns after what was supposed to be the final chapter of the never-ending saga, and for the second time, he gets an upgrade.In JASON LIVES (the real follow up to THE FINAL CHAPTER), he became a living dead with an increased strength and an invulnerability to fire and bullets.Now, we get the Uber-Jason, a cross between the TERMINATOR and the killer of Crystal Lake.After the disappointment brought by JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY in which the killer was represented as a parasite with the ability to possess bodies and, as a result, allowed us to see Jason in his real shape for only two minutes at the beginning and five at the end, it's good to see that the hockey mask's back during the entire movie.
When you watch a FRIDAY THE 13TH film, you want to see Jason, his mask and his big knife, not a guy trying to imitate Kane HODDER.
This is one of best sequences that ever appeared in a FRIDAY THE 13TH movie, really impressive.However, the film isn't very scary but I don't think it aimed at making you jump out of your seat with terror.
It made me laugh so hard...There's even a little reference to John CARPENTER's DARK STAR at the end.As a conclusion, let's say that although it's not a typical FRIDAY THE 13TH movie, JASON X stands along with JASON LIVES as the best entry in the series.
Being a big fan of the "Friday" franchise I found Jason X to be a great entry into the long running series.
Well, I'm sure that you're probably not going to read this since everybody said that it sucked so bad, but if you enjoy Friday movies in any way...there is no way that you won't like this one.
If you want to see a good scary movie, what the hell are you watching Friday the 13th Part 10 for?
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.
Like I've said in other reviews...this hasn't got a great story but what you do get is a known horror character doing what he does best, kill, kill kill!Jason racks up an enormous body count in this film and makes it look cool (don't go killing people though).
Unlike the pathetic previous New Line attempt, JASON GOES TO HELL, which tried to do something different (by not letting us see Jason as Jason for most of the movie--big mistake!), here we get Jason right from the start doing what Jason does best: KILLING!!!While I found Jason X exciting when released, the film has not aged well, particularly the digital FX.
I'd say this is one of the best Friday the 13 movies ever made and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the 9 earlier films..
The movie starts off in present time where Jason is going to be frozen, since he cannot be killed.
After seeing all of the other 9 Friday the 13th movies by now people would think they were boring but i am a fan of blood guts and gore and simply Jason was getting tired out protecting his beloved camp Crystal Lake but the 10th in the series takes a new turn with Jason being in space and committing many a few good deaths like freezing a woman's head and shattering it but stays faithful to the Friday the 13th tradition of the return of the much beloved machete for fans of horror or Friday the 13th this is a must see Roll on Jason XI.
everyone knows that Friday the 13 after the first one the sequels really sucked ....but believe it or not this one is pretty good besides the point that every killer is in space but anyways this movie is pretty good,lot of action,some humor,and Jason famous machete ....i gave this movie a 8 out of 10 for being a fun movie to watch is better then what i expected so i really recommend it .....enjoy..
Jason X was one of the most fun movies i have seen in years!!!.
