Contains Spoilers Im a big Jason fan, so when i first heard about this movie about 2 years ago, i got really excited. When i first heard about the 500 years in the future part I became disappointed and figured it wouldnt live up to the others, mostly because of the atmosphere change that Manhattan couldnt live up to. So time goes by and finally the movie is released, the opening scene made me laugh, not because it was bad, just because "thats jason for ya," but it made me curious as to why the hell there was a research facility right on crystal lake, and how the hell did they manage to put jason in chains *SPOILER* i still wonder how the hell he got out of the chains *END SPOILER* It seemed the good ol government became interested in why Jason wont die, how hes able to regenerate body tissue, anf of course, jason breaks free only to be frozen moments later.
At the point i decided that this movie sucked was when most of the deaths werent shown, about 30 people dies and only 10 of them were actually shown, and some were quite gruesome! the first death was the best, too bad the chick was so hot! I dont think ive ever seen a movie with character development as bad as this, even the main character, Rowan, you dont give a s*** about, as much as i wanted her to live i really couldve cared less, the only characters i felt for were Kay-Em and Brodski, Kay Em was hilarious and Brodski was such a tough guy.
Just as the movie is nearing its end the funniest scene ive seen in a Jason movie yet comes up, with 2 topless chicks of course but i wont spoil anything else. Id say this scene saved the movie for any liking i gave it.
One of the big reasons i didnt like this was because it was non stop killing, the movie never paused for any real dialouge, or any plot development for that matter.
The atmosphere was another big problem, how can you do a Jason movie without a forest? I mean, even #8 pulled it off, but this movie lacked 'scariness', at no point was i ever scared or even intense about some chick about to lose her head. No suspense whatsoever, Jason didnt even toy with any of his victims.
Also the death scenes were really crappy, there were only 4 or 5 that actually had any creativity, while every other jason movies death scenes are all quite creative, or most of them at least.
As soon as Jason was upgraded it was really downhill from there, too bad the movie ended 15 minutes later. *SPOILER* he didnt even kill anyone! wtf *END SPOILER*
Another weakness of the movie was the way Jason was killed, i can see why they did it, but i just hope it leads to a sequel.
On a scale of 1-10, i give it a 6, because its a little better than it is stupid, i wouldve given it a 3 if it wasnt for that final scene of comic relief.
All in all, this remains the worst Jason movie ive seen so far, but at least it was good for a few laughs.
