Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

A happily self-aware body-count flick that's as brutally funny as it is plain-old brutal. A broad slash of scary, sci-fi fun, the project leapfrogs all the Scream and Last Summer junk to carve itself a new, high-tech niche.

Chuck Wilson

The film has spunk. Unfortunately, the gore comes with brutal regularity, so that, despite Farmer and Isaac's attempts to liven things up, the film still just wears you down. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

It gets much more watchable in the last half-hour. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Even the imaginative gore can't hide the musty scent of Todd Farmer's screenplay. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Further proof that titular antagonist Jason Voorhes is ready for retirement -- to videostore shelves. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Despite the futuristic setting, which relies so heavily on GGI effects that it looks like a feature-length production concept painting, this film is painfully predictable. Read full review

Steve Davis

It had a little originality, unlike the other sequels, but not much. Read full review

This movie revolutionized the teenager murder genre by going into space. Steven Speilberg took a wild turn with this entry and it clearly paid off earning him 40 Oscars and $20 at the box office.

Incredibly underrated imo. I really don't know see why people hate it so much. The acting is weak but what makes up for it is that it's so memorable and Uber-Jason is a complete bad-ass lol.

This is a so bad its good movie. But it does have a ridiculous plot and acting. But it is very entertaining to see Jason in space! But I can see why people hate this movie.

Almost like Jason becomes The Terminator. Has some good moments, but the plot is inane and there's too much comedy here for my taste. Hodder, again, is great in the role of Jason. Some slick kills, but the characters are un-likeable and somewhat idiotic.

With over-the-top violence, tongue in cheek dialogue, Jason X definitely fits into the "So bad it's good" category. The movie is really bad, but it has just enough in it to justify watching it during Halloween or when you want to satisfy a late night horror flick

I know Jason X was trying to break the 4th wall but I did not want it THIS way. In space? REALLY? I try to like Jason X but I just can't. Its a horrible movie which had no point of being made.

From a slasher to a comedy to a sci-fi, is there anything that this franchise hasn't done? Yeah, a horror musical. Do that for twentieth film in the franchise. .

Bad : After the events of Final Friday, the existence of this piece of s**t isn't justified. We get everything 2001-ish except for that stupid sci-fi mumbo jumbo **** with the lab technicians (or whatever) dressed up like strippers and looking like ultimate sluts, that makes no sense at all. You can heal a 400 year old fossil but not someone who died just now? May be the movie explains it, and I might have snoozed at the very moment. But who the f**k cares? This movie is already nonsensical. There are some stupid references of the movie being in 2455 or whatever, and has some high tech weapons made of plastic to take out Jason. And, all the other negatives are exactly those of Part 8, in fact this is part 8, but in space - no good characters, no storyline, no logic, takes itself too seriously and absolutely sucks. This feels like a crossover between Power Rangers and the Doom Game, with Jason. It feels dragged as **** and is also a pseudo pornography. If someone says he/she hates sci-fi, he/she might have watched this movie. None of the characters are interesting. It sucks out all the life you have and makes you die of dehydration. I am really tired of watching this garbage, and I don't want to whine about this anymore. .
.
Conclusion : It was perhaps the worst idea, assuming that there were ideas that were introduced for this movie, for this movie. It's a lame attempt to give a whacky filler while the crossover was in developmental hell. .
