True story: I saw this in the theater with Carson back in 2002. After the first victim of Jason meets their demise, a guy right in front of us yelled “KICK ASS! JASON. IS. BACK.” To this day, hundreds of movie theater experiences later, I’ve never seen or heard anyone more excited in a theater than that guy at that moment. Though it was a completely ridiculous moment, I should probably thank that guy for forging such a strong memory in my mind that everything else about the movie just evaporated once the credits rolled. I had no recollection of:

The ridiculous premise that had Jason Voorhees being cryogenically frozen because he was able to heal himself like Wolverine.

The low-budget film set that looked like it was leased from that miserable Kevin Sorbo television show Andromeda.

The wardrobe that in no way tries to be futuristic and just assumes that everyone in the year 2455 dresses exactly as they would have at the 2002 MTV VMA show.

One of the most absurd kills you will ever see in a horror movie — and it involves a sleeping bag.

Embarrassing CGI effects that are somehow WORSE than the aforementioned miserable Kevin Sorbo television show Andromeda.

The premise of Jason X is simply Jason in space. That’s all it took to get this greenlit with a budget only slightly bigger than the first SEVEN Friday the 13th movies combined! It’s hard to believe that much money was spent on this film. It is awful and not worthy of a viewing. Not even in a group of friends. It’s not funny bad. It’s just bad. I can only assume Kevin Sorbo got super rich off of this.
