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!

spencer_blass If you're a fan of Friday the 13th, it's a must to watch! Yeah, the plot is stupid but there's really great special effets for its time and plenty of gruesome murders yet to be seen!! I'm a big fan of the franchise and overall I'm glad I saw it.
meurighughes 10/10 for my stick-ability, 1/10 for the movie. Poor acting, predictable lines, cheesy action. Music is a big part of making this movie as bad as it is. 450 years in the future, humans are still as inept to rid the universe of the slowest killer ever.
Filipe Neto This movie is the tenth sequel to "Friday the 13th". The number is gigantic, considering that the franchise never had a single spark of quality. This time, imagination led the writers to take Jason into space in an attempt to give the public something they had not yet seen. But changing the clothes does not make the content better, and the franchise has never had good content, and that's hardly likely to happen.
Leofwine_draca So Jason is back, and in a big way, with possibly the most expensive movie of the series so far and certainly the most special effect-filled one. Following on from JASON GOES TO HELL, which changed the core concept by having Jason becoming an evil slug that jumped from person to person, here we have the traditional hockey-masked killer back, but the setting is a futuristic spaceship in the style of many recent B-movie sequels. Thankfully, the film is still violent at heart, and for a 15 certificate film it offers some of the most imaginatively gory moments I've seen in a long time. People are decapitated, cut in half, thrown onto enormous drill-bits, get impaled, electrocuted, have their throats slit, and plenty more. Certainly the film's most notorious sequence is also the most inventive, having a young blonde lady getting her face frozen in liquid nitrogen, then smashed apart on a work surface – this is without a doubt the most disgusting thing I've seen on screen in a long, long time.The formula is predictable, involving young good-looking heroes and heroines narrowly evading Jason at every turn, but the special effects are better. Certainly the kills are authentic-looking and the CGI shots are fun if not particularly convincing. Set design is spot on, and elements of the traditional Friday the 13th music are more than welcome. Like it or not, things do become very cheesy as the film progresses, introducing the 'Uber-Jason', a nanobot-modified killer who looks more like the Terminator than Mr. Voorhees, and the climax, set in space, is totally off the wall and utterly unbelievable.The main thing, though, is that this film is fun, and a whole load of fun at that. There's plenty of self-knowing humour, black comedy and the young cast do a lively job. The film introduces a new hard-assed action hero in Tony Todd-lookalike Peter Mensah who I'd certainly like to see more of (and thankfully I did, when he took a lead role in the smash TV series SPARTACUS). And it wouldn't be the same without stuntman Kane Hodder, as huge and hulking as ever, who positively delights in a return to his famous role. So, fans of the series will delight in this entry which is both predictable and unpredictable at the same time; it never lets up from the start and offers enough blood and guts to satisfy any horror fan's appetite. An absolute delight.
