"Jason X," which came out in 2001, begins in 2010 when officials decide to freeze Jason as a way to finally stop him. He and another person are thawed out in the year 2455 by a professor and his students who are visiting Earth One from Earth Two. Then Jason is let loose on their spaceship, and things quickly fall apart. This movie is similar to "Alien" from 1979, but with Jason as the threat and some humor mixed in. It’s also a big change for the series, putting Jason into space in the future. Many fans of Friday the 13th movies dislike “Jason Goes to Hell” and “Jason X” because the people making them tried something different. It's clear they thought the franchise had become predictable with its long run of eight films from 1980 to 1989. I thought "Jason Goes to Hell" had an interesting idea (borrowed from 1987’s “The Hidden”) and a strong start, but the tone felt off and the movie went downhill with its silly horror nonsense; even so, it did have some of the best female characters in the series (Agent Marcus and Deborah), which deserves recognition. I've heard bad things about "Jason X" over time, but the first half is really good science fiction, with some funny moments added in. It’s remarkable how well they handle the sci-fi aspects and special effects. The second half isn’t as great though, because it gets too cartoonish when Jason kills off most of the crew, especially after he gets his new futuristic appearance, essentially becoming SuperJason (I'm shaking my head). As you might expect, this installment has a lot of women in it, but I only found Kinsa (played by Melody Johnson) to be interesting, aside from the brief appearance of campfire teen #1 at the end, who was played by Mika Ward. They really should have made her part of the main cast. Because of the spaceship setting, most of the movie was filmed on sets in Toronto, with a few scenes shot outdoors in Ontario. The film is 91 minutes long. GRADE: B-
