The year is 2455. The Place is Old Earth. Once the shimmering blue jewel of the galaxy, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled. Not to live, but to research the ancient rusting artifacts of the bygone civilizations that caused this environmental disaster. And little does the most recent landing party of intrepid young explorers realize the fate that awaits them.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Neither scary nor funny, Jason X infuses the series' slasher formula with an obnoxious dose of campy, self-aware humor and low budget sci-fi tackiness to disastrous effect.

Since neither blade not bullet can halt the serial killer Jason Voorhees, the film has a pervasive numbness. Go to Full Review

Compelled me, after one hour, to respond with the ultimate form of criticism: I did some stalking myself -- out. Go to Full Review

It's filled with special effects, but none of them seems very special, frankly. Go to Full Review

Carter H @quality_finds Oct 7, 2026 Bad setting, acting wasn’t bad mostly, not great, not excited to put any input other than this movie may be fun for the idea, rather than anything about the movie 1 sad star See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 4, 2026 It's an okay movie but not my type of thing... See more B P @Bradster69 Aug 31, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Alex B @AlexBioni Aug 28, 2026 Jason in Space! This movie has male nipple grabbing, belly button licking, and VR heads getting cut off. What am I watching? The soundtrack is just as awful as Jason Goes to Hell, and the characters act like it's still 2000 even though they're in the future. The plot makes no sense and it's cheesy sci fi horror. However, this is stupid fun and a perfect turn your brain off movie. The blood and gore are finally here, and I liked the change of pace of putting Jason in the future as ridiculous as that sounds. Some of the kills are crazy, especially the face in the ice. I also like that the movie is self aware and knows exactly what kind of movie it is. I also like the upgraded Uber Jason design. He looks ridiculous but badass. The futuristic setting also reminded me of early 2000s sci fi movies like Doom and Resident Evil. Overall, it's pretty forgettable except for the fact that it's Jason in space. Honestly, that's enough to make it memorable. See more Bruce M @BruceMc Aug 28, 2026 Oh, yeah, it's incredibly bad and stupid, but "Jason X" is a lot of fun and even has a David Cronenberg cameo. Certainly is better than "Jason Takes Manhattan." Plus, its always good to see Lexa Doig, Peter Mensah and Lisa Ryder. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 11, 2026 Se o outro era o pior este eu já não sei. See more Read all reviews
