Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOnce again, just like with Jason Goes to Hell (1993), New Line Cinema used their rights to the Jason Voorhees character to make another sequel, but was unable to legally include 'Friday the 13th' in the film's title, as Paramount Pictures still owned the trademarked title.
- GoofsWhen the Solaris station is destroyed, there is silence for a moment and then the characters on the ship can hear and feel the explosion. In the vacuum of space there is no air, therefore no sound or shock-waves.
- Alternate versionsThe fight between Jason and Kay-Em 14 was originally longer. It was trimmed for pacing reasons.
- ConnectionsFeatured in By Any Means Necessary: The Making of 'Jason X' (2002)
Featured review
A spoof on its own franchise?...
This movie sent a large following away from the franchise in utter disbelief. And I will say that "Jason X" is a very different "Friday the 13th" experience. It actually seems like it is meant as a spoof and a farce on its own franchise. 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. There were a good amount of killings in "Jason X" of course, as in all these 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". It is fun for what it is.
