| The scariest thing about Jason X is that I sepent $8 to see it. I haven't seen any of the Friday the 13th movies since maybe the third in the series, but with an intense trailer, a ridiculous premise, and both Lexa Doig and Lisa Ryder from Gene Roddenberry's |
| Andromeda, it looked like it might be fun. Maybe I should have known since it was the 10th movie in the series. Or maybe that I stopped watching them so long ago should have given me a clue. But the fact I was the only one in the theatre on a Saturday |
| night definitely let me know what I was in for. It didn't matter that Jason Voorhees had been cryogenically frozen and brought aboard a spaceship 400 years from now. It was the same movie , same sound effects, same everything. There were no tongue-in-cheek references, no funny lines, just Jason managing to kill everyone. You'd think soldiers with 400 years of technological advancements would be able to finish him off once and for all. Of course, after meeting the cast I was hoping they'd all die and found myself hoping Jason would kill them off quicker because they were so annoying. In the end Jason is ridden into the atmosphere of Earth 2, since the original Earth was destroyed. As |
| he burns up in the atmosphere you hope he won't come back form this too, but of course he lands in another lake and you see his mask floating to the bottom. Looks like the only thing that will kill Jason for good is poor box office returns, and hopefully this apparent death will be his last. |
