_Jason X_ holds the lofty title of maybe being the cheesiest movie in the incredibly cheesy Friday the 13th franchise, and while that's not exactly a compliment, it still, somehow, works. _Jason X_ is about as feelgood as a slasher movie can get, the catharsis is real, and so are the laughs.
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._...
Jason X
In the year 2455, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries -- a brown world of violent storms, toxic landmasses and poisonous seas. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled, not to live, but to research the ancient, rusting artifacts of the long-gone civilizations. But it's not the harmful environment that could prove fatal to the intrepid, young explorers who have just landed on Old Earth. For them, it's Friday the 13th, and Jason lives!
"Evil gets an upgrade."

This entry is like 1979's "Alien" except with Jason as the monster and a sense of humor. You'll also notice that it's a great departure for the series putting Jason in space in the future. Most Friday fans loo...
The quality slide continues for our boy Jason. The movie is, of course, way out there with spaceships and robots and cryogenic suspension, stuff like that. But Jason doesn't get to do the things that he's here to do. And that makes it a poorer Jason movie than one where he's just trudging around Crystal Lake murdering teenagers. It becomes a bit too tongue-in-cheek and just changing the setting doesn't make the kills more innovative nor the characters more engaging. There is a reason why we're coming up on the tail end of the classic run of this franchise,...
