Overview

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!

Jason X conjures up more giggles than scares, assuming you make it through the first 15 minutes.

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

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.

Paul Malcolm, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

Everything else Jason X tries to do has been done too, and generally a lot better.

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Rotten

The supposedly new, improved, futuristic Jason is just the same guy with a hipper hockey mask. Thumbs down.

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten

A protracted and only sporadically imaginative menu of ways to be murdered.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
