Not good at all
Added 12/21/2009
It looked great on commercial, but when I rented it, it sucked. Basically it turned a horror film into a sci-fi with some stupidness.

Great Sci Fi Action
Added 12/8/2009
This is a good movie. The story has a very good sci-fi element in it. This is more a sci-fi movie than a horror movie. It is not scary. The score is exceptional! Wow! The music is so good. The thing that is cheesy is the killing itself. The hack and slashing is too similar to the one in the Rambo movies. Rambo is sneaky. Jason is not. This completely changes the mood of the movie.
The extra is very good. I can see this movie over and over again. Great movie.

After his supposed demise at the end of Jason Goes to Hell, Jason once again makes another return in a tenth movie. How he gets out of hell is never explained. He's just there.
As for the movie itself, it's downright silly. At the beginning, Jason's all chained up in a research facility at Crystal Lake. Surprise, surprise, Jason gets out and kills everyone except for one rather attractive woman who manages to lock up Jason in a cryogenics chamber, but ends up getting wounded and frozen herself as well. Now flash forward a few hundred years into the future. Earth is burnt out and no longer habitable. A group of students from "Earth 2" discover both the woman and Jason. They bring both onto their ship in space and Jason gets loose. Now I didn't expect that at all...
Honestly, other from the change of scenary, there's really nothing new here. Jason kills and kills. Plus, the whole movie was just cheesy. The sets are really fake looking, which resulted the movie appearing like a bad sci-fi show. The acting was not very good, but what do you expect from a Jason movie? Also, Jason himself didn't look very good. He even looked better in Jason Goes to Hell(although he's not in that one very much). What I'm saying is that Jason didn't look very intimidating in this film. He had quite a bit of hair on his head this time, and he even seemed kinda human. He goes through a transformation later, and his new look makes him look even more stupid. As if the idea that he could possess bodies in Jason Goes to Hell was not stupid enough, they practically make him into a robot/mutant later in this movie. Plus, that whole bit about how he could regenerate was just lame. He wasn't able to do that in the other movies.
The characters in this film are utterly forgettable. Just about all of them get killed. There are even space marines in this too and Jason manages to kill them all as well. The kills are not very impressive either. At least the other Jason movies had some interesting kill sequences. But the ones in this movie seem tame in comparison to those movies. The only kill that was sort of cool was when Jason kills that woman by freezing her head and smashing it to pieces. Other than that, there's really nothing else.
This is not something I'm going to keep watching over and over again. In fact, I may not watch it ever again! Let's just enjoy the Jason we know and love from the Friday the 13th films. Some of them, the first four for example, were actually creepy, and the sixth one was pushing it a little bit because that's where Jason was brought back to life, but it was actually pretty good in my opinion. Jason X didn't have that feel. Jason X is a joke. Just stay away from it. If you like Jason Vorhees, stay AWAY from Jason X.

Jason doing what he does . . . again
Added 8/30/2009
Jason X begins with Jason Vorhees being studied as to why his cells continue to regenerate allowing him to escape death over and over. In a transfer to another facility he naturally escapes and kills everyone except one woman who tries to freeze him cryogenically but Jason breaches the chamber and they both get frozen. They are found 450 years later and brought on board a space craft where a scientist and his team of teenage students revive them and mayhem ensues.
I thought the premise to get Jason to space and catapult him ahead a few centuries was kind of clever and there are some moments of humor throughout the movie that worked, but otherwise it's the same old same old. No one can act, they all do stupid things that no one not in a horror movie would do and Jason just walks around slaughtering everyone. There is no originality beyond the opening and I guess its debatable just how original that was.

I liked it when I watched it the first time. And I had to order it to go with the collection of the other Jason movies I have
