Trivia:
The name of the primary ship in the film is the "Grendel" which is the name of a monster in the Old English poem "Beowulf". Grendel was a direct descendant of Cain from the Book of Genesis, a monster described as half-troll, half-ogre. Like Jason, Grendel rose from a lake in search of victims and seemingly could not be killed. Also, in their fight, Beowulf rips Grendel's arm off, and in the movie, when Kay-Em shoots up Jason, the first thing he loses is his arm. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Kay-Em is shown firing at Jason with the two pistols her arms are straight out in front of her, but in the shot from below her elbows are bent and she's firing from waist height. In the next shot, her arms have returned to being straight out. more

FAQ

Since all life on Earth was destroyed, how would the power still be on to keep them frozen over 400 years later? Lights came on in Jason's chamber when they opened it.
Rowan, and Jason aren't discovered for over 400 years. Dr. Wimmer was supposed to be transporting Jason to another research facility. Don't you think the people at the other end of the delivery would have become suspicious?
At the end when the Grendel explodes, it propels Jason towards the shuttle that the survivors are in. Suddenly, Brodski appears from the right and grabs Jason. How did Brodski get there when he had just been shown in the same room with Jason on the ship?

Jason Voorhees Hacks And Slashes His Way Through The 25th Century., 19 October 2003
7/10
Author: Scott LeBrun from Winnipeg, Canada

Just like "Jason Goes To Hell" before it, there is nothing connecting this film to the previous series entry. NOTHING. In the early 21st Century, Jason is being studied in a research lab located in Crystal Lake (no explanation how he got there) and inevitably escapes. He is about to slaughter sexy scientist Rowan (Lexa Doig) when they both get cryogenically frozen - for almost 500 years. Cut to a 'Star Trek' like spaceship where their bodies are brought on board. No prizes for guessing what happens soon after.

When I first heard of the concept for "Jason X" I thought about what a contrived effort this was to keep an endless series going. Jason in outer space? This thoroughly goofy, oddball film plays like a standard modern-day sci-fi TV series with special guest star Jason Voorhees. All things considered, I can see why some people would hate it. And I'll be darned, if half way through, it didn't start reminding me of "Aliens!"

That said, I found it to be an entertaining yet nasty picture - it's more entertaining than it really has a right to be. Some VERY gruesome deaths are in store for these people. It does rely on standard series cliches; even in the 25th Century, youngsters are still Horny Morons.

Film director David Cronenberg appears in the opening segment as "Dr. Wimmer."

I'm not proud of myself, but I give it 7/10.
