Jason is back! Kane Hodder is grabbing sharp instruments and destroying another group of young twenty-nothings, this time in OUTER SPACE!The kills are pretty cool, particularly a scene where a character's head is frozen and shattered (ala' T2).The ending was hokey but fun, with Jason morphing into a Robocop-ish...UberJason!I'm a 'Jason' fan so in that aspect, I liked this film. Great to see Kane Hodder back on the silver screen, doing his thing.But the movie itself was like the worst episode of one of those lousy UPN sci-fi TV series...with Jason on board, wasting the crew! Which actually made this flick kind of watchable.My favorite scene (as seems to be every die-hard fan's as well) was when Jason was transported back to the woods in a hologram mind game. The audience cheered! Hilarious bit as the teens tempted Jason with 'sex and drugs.' Meaning: PUT JASON BACK IN THE WOODS, WHERE HE BELONGS.All in all, Jason X was a step up from the last entry (Jason Goes To Hell) and a fun time popcorn muncher. Loved the cameo by David Cronenberg in the opening, that was nifty.Now the $64,000 dollar question. In JASON VS. FREDDY, will it be the UberJason, the Jason in hell, or the old style Jason?Hmmm...the writers have their work cut out. Check JASON X out when you can.
