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
