Jason X
A Movie Review |
|
 |
The story was dopey, the acting overdone, and the
effects were nothing to cheer about. Needless to say I enjoyed just
about every minutes of "Jason X."The ground was broken way back
when the original "Friday the 13th," "Halloween," and
"Nightmare on Elm Street" movies came about. You get a scary dude who
can’t be killed, you get teenagers drinking, having sex, and doing
drugs, and the scary dude goes on a killing spree. You never really
see him die, so there is always the possibility of a sequel, and then
as the sequels come the story just gets dumb and dumber. The story of
Jason is up to movie number ten. Add up the dumbs and dumbers and you
can come up with the story.
For this one Jason and a chick get cryogenically frozen. Four
hundred years later, when the Earth is uninhabitable, people from
Earth 2 make a visit to the lab and bring Jason and the dudette aboard
their ship, bring the dudette back to life, and assume Jason is dead.
Low and behold Jason is not dead, and this ship full of studly dudes
and hot dudettes is now in peril. The grunts/military folk are toast,
the kids having sex are toast, and just when you think Jason has met
his match in the likes of an android, well, those damn nano-ants that
repair human flesh put him back together, better than ever.
This movie does the right thing in not taking itself seriously,
poking fun at the genre while still trying to maintain some semblance
of a story. There are plenty of scantily clad dudettes, lots of
quality kills, and sure, they leave the story open for Jason XI.
The movie is what it is. Don’t expect something great and you’ll
probably laugh during "Jason X" as much as I did. If you expect
that it's a 2 1/2 star flick. If you're looking for cinematic
greatness, this is a 1/2 star movie. I'm sticking with the 2 1/2
stars out of 5.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!!
