Synopsis
In the year 2455, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries -- a brown world of violent storms, toxic landmasses and poisonous seas. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled, not to live, but to research the ancient, rusting artifacts of the long-gone civilizations. But it's not the harmful environment that could prove fatal to the intrepid, young explorers who have just landed on Old Earth. For them, it's Friday the 13th, and Jason lives!

New Times (L.A.)
A happily self-aware body-count flick that's as brutally funny as it is plain-old brutal. A broad slash of scary, sci-fi fun, the project leapfrogs all the Scream and Last Summer junk to carve itself a new, high-tech niche. - 50
L.A. Weekly
The film has spunk. Unfortunately, the gore comes with brutal regularity, so that, despite Farmer and Isaac's attempts to liven things up, the film still just wears you down. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
The premise of Jason X is silly but strangely believable. - 40
Salon
It gets much more watchable in the last half-hour. - 38
USA Today
A moviegoer's only defense against Jason is to avoid theaters showing this gruesome and derivative movie. - 38
New York Post
There's a hint of nostalgia toward the end, with Jason encountering two nubile female campers in a virtual reality Camp Crystal Lake -- but it merely serves as a reminder that the franchise should have quit while it was ahead. - 25
ReelViews
Too much of Jason X plays it straight, and that means boredom. Murder and mayhem of this sort quickly becomes monotonous. - 20
TV Guide Magazine
Despite the futuristic setting, which relies so heavily on GGI effects that it looks like a feature-length production concept painting, this film is painfully predictable.
