Story
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.
The time is the near future. A team of government scientists working at the Crystal Lake Research Facility have finally captured the notorious and seemingly indestuctible killer Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder). In order to at least contain Jason, the plan is to freeze him in cryogenic suspension; but, as usual,things go horribly wrong and he breaks free to resume his murderous ways. The sole survivor of this latest rampage, Rowan (Lexa Doig), manages to lure Jason into the cryogenic chamber, but before she can complete the process and escape, she is mortally wounded and frozen in time along with Jason.
Flash forward over four hundred years to 2455:
The place is old Earth, now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries, a world of violent storms, toxic land masses and poisoned seas. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place they once fled; not to live, but to research the artifacts of the lost civilizations that caused this enormous environmental disaster. Little dose the most recent landing party of interplanetary explorers realize the fate that awaits them when they stumble upon an unusual find from a primitive technological age.
The student explorers, led by Archaeology Professor Lowe (Jonathan Potts) and their tech-droid KAY-EM 14 (Lisa Ryder) enter the ancient underground remains of the Crystal Lake Research Facility. There, they make a major archaeological discovery: two frozen ancestors; a beautiful young woman and a large man wearing a strange mask. There's only one problem;the autoregeneration procedure has somehow been triggered. The frozen cryo-jell is melting like a block of ice and soon the two bodies will thaw and deteriorate! With time running out, the young explorers return to their starship and blast-off for Earth 2, where they are surprisingly able to revive Rowan, the young woman. But very soon, these students will come face-to-face with a shocking, totally new form of evil as Jason comes back to life as well and begins to silently stalk them through the corridors of the spacecraft.
ReviewFirst Jason takes Manhattan,and now Jason in space? whats next a Jason Chrismas carol? Jason X is quite posibly the worst film in the friday the 13th series. the movie started off good enough with Jason quickly disposing of some government officials holding him in captivity,but the movie quickly starts to deteriorate. Jason gets frozen and is unthawed four centuries later in a world full of crappy C.G.I. and worse acting. The movie isnt all bad though there are a total of three cool death scenes (about 8 good minutes out of 93). If you are a true friday the 13th fan and decide to watch the movie even after this review,then keep an eye out for the face shatter,the corkscrew, and the sleeping bag.
