Reader comments: Jason X
SAM | Jul. 5, 2002
As far as substance, I must say that Jason X is like a bowl
full of mud: tastless, but if you bath in it, an almost
guilty pleasure. Well, Jason X is that kind of a movie. As
a normal way of looking at it, it's mud. But if you instead
choose to look at it as a guilty experience, it's fun to
behold. Putting Friday the 13th in space is so absurd, but
you've got to admit that the contradiction is kind of fun.
The best elements come from the cheesy android, who acts a
lot like Data from STNG. She is the best character, since
she has no fear (even after literally lossing her
head...er...body, I should say). And the film has it's
scary moments. But the real fun comes in the last 15
minutes, when Jason is trapped in a hologram, simulating
Camp Crystal Lake. It leads to one of the funniest parts of
a film. Like I said, mud can be fun, if you know what to do
with it. *** out of four
