Jason X is the latest installment of the Friday the 13th series. Thankfully that "X" represents the roman numeral 10 as in "part 10" instead of this being a porno movie take off on the series.
That's exactly what happens here. A cryogenically frozen Jason Vorhees is found in the year 2455 and hauled aboard a space ship filled with scantily clad horny college students. Being the indestructable guy that he is, Jason is soon wide awake and slashing teenagers just as they're about to do the wild thing. If this whole premise doesn't make you grin, or worse you have no idea who the heck Jason is, then stay home as you're going to hate this movie. The plot is stupid, the effects are cheesy, and the character development is non-existent. It's a Friday the 13th movie! The movie is what it is, and if you're a fan of the series you'll likely enjoy it. It has everything a good Friday the 13th movie should have in it specifically a lot of nubile young bodies for Jason to mutilate. More importantly the movie does not take itself seriously. There are some great subtle bits of humor. But if you have not been a fan of the previous movies in the series, this one isn't going to win you over. And in fact, you'll likely hate it even more as you're not going to "get it" at all. If you've enjoyed any of the previous installments of the series, you'll probably like this one. It is more of the same, but it does not take itself seriously and pokes fun at itself. We give this movie 3 stars. If you're a Jason fan, check this out even if you have to wait for DVD. If you're not, skip it as you'll likely hate it.

We've
long since figured out that the only thing that can permanently
kill Jason is weak studio profits from the movie. So, what can we
do with him that hasn't been done before? How about we send him
to the year 2455 and put him onboard a space ship?
