Jason X -- A Weeping Giant Review

I saw Jason X earlier tonight and let me tell you....this is one of the coolest movies I've seen in a long time. lol, this isn't the type of movie you go to to be 'scared'...this is more or less the type of movie you get together with your buddies to see for the purposes of laughing at the onscreen mayhem and/or being grossed out by the onscreen mayhem.

The body count in this one is extremely high...20+ victims of Jason's wrath I believe.

Now I know what some of you are thinking, "Well...HOW ON EARTH DID JASON GET INTO SPACE?!!!" For those that haven't seen it and don't wanna know, skip over the following part:





*Spoiler* Alright basically what happened was...*deep breath* They created a research fascility at Camp Crystal Lake to contain Jason Vorhees. We learn later on, that they tried to kill him several times there by means of electrocution, firing squad, hanging, but he just wouldn't die. So they finally decided to simply detain him by freezing him instead. Unfortunately...*duh duh duh* at the last minute, a military guy goes over the head lady's well...head and decides that Jason's worth more money alive than dead so he decides they will transport Jason to another facility instead....duh duh duh, Jason escapes when they come to get him, taking out all the soldiers, and then chases after 'the leading lady'. She tries to trick him into the 'big freeze', but something goes wrong causing both of them to be frozen. They're ultimately discovered in some sort of space-archealogical dig type of deal and taken aboard a space craft. Now as corny as that sounds...it surprisingly works.



*End of the Spoiler*

Now as to why the writer, producers, and director decided to put it in space I have to spoil the ending of "Jason Goes to Hell". lol, so if you don't want that spoiled don't read the below...

*Jason Goes to Hell spoiler* The end of this movie sets up a Freddy Krueger Vs Jason film, with Freddy's claw emerging from the ground and pulling Jason's hockey mask down into the abyss. UNFORTUNATELY, this has not come to pass yet due to various script problems, contract negotions, etc. So basically, they were in a bind and they figured setting it way into the future was the best way to get around the Jason Vs Freddy problem that Jason Goes to Hell sit up. Now the good news with this is, that the word on the street 'be' that a Jason Vs Freddy movie WILL START FILMING sometime soon. Apparently it's all set up, and if Jason X prooves to be a success then Freddy Vs Jason will definitely be in a theater near you within the next year or so.

*ENd of yet another spoiler*

If you like your movies to provide cheesy entertainment, it don't get much better than this. Without giving too much away, you get to see Jason take on a beautiful seductive Cyborg in a fight full of explosions, guns blasting, martial arts...oh man and although some parts drag, they ultimately make up for it.

About 15-20 minutes into the film a kid gets his armed chopped off and spends the next 10 minutes nonchalantly carrying it around with him....lol yeah there are occasional little funny bits like that in there.

Since this is an R-rated movie, I've got to say...it definitely ain't for kids. In addition to the gore, there's a few moments of nudity as well. And I believe a drug refrence or two.

All and all at the end of the day, I like movies like this. Where you can just sit down, relax, laugh it up, and go home with the knowledge that everything's a-okay and that no people were really harmed in the making of this film.

I don't think....*cha cha cha cha....cha cha cha cha...*
