The year is 2455. The Place is Old Earth. Once the shimmering blue jewel of the galaxy, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled. Not to live, but to research the ancient rusting artifacts of the bygone civilizations that caused this environmental disaster. And little does the most recent landing party of intrepid young explorers realize the fate that awaits them.

Critics Consensus

Jason goes to the future, but the story is still stuck in the past.

By now, despite the nine years since the last Friday the 13th sequel, Jason and his hockey mask are as predictable a franchise as McDonald's. Moviegoers know what they are going to get.

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

Rated: 1.5/4

Horror Movie Club Podcast

Ten movies in, the franchise finally and mercifully becomes self-aware. Despite the weak plot and absence of a compelling final girl, the film’s sense of humor keeps the ship on course in one of the franchise’s more entertaining outings.

Rated: 3/5

It's not a good movie. Literally no one expects Jason X -- the 10th sequel in the Friday the 13th series -- to be good.

There's a lot of dumb fun to be had here, so it only sucks on a few levels.

This is definitely the silliest addition added to the friday 13th franchise but I don't think that makes this movie necessarily bad by any means, however it is very bizarre how we skipped a whole 4 centuries. I understand it makes sense for everything to be futuristic because of the time it's set in, but this just does not feel like a friday 13th movie, of course there's nothing particularly wrong about that, but because this franchise has been known for the dumb teenagers/young adults in a camp theme, this feels strange and an odd direction to take the move in. To sum it up this movie has really stupid humour which not everyone will like but I do personally, random story that doesn't really make sense at all, but the kills are great and I think that's what is most important for this series. 7/10

Friday the 13, and far future together, Yeah that sucks, movie is lame and campy no actual plot going on. Funny how the story is set in the future but does the same old tropes of sex and hack and slash. Not to mention Jason’s design by the the end of the film sucks. They killed Jason off by the end along side with the series. Butchered

Imagine watching the original Friday 13th thinking there would one day be a sequel where Mr Vorhees was in space. The stupidity deserves a star in itself. Nonsense but entertaining.
