(rated R, 93 mins.)
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 – a brown world of violent storms and toxic landmasses. Yet humans have returned to this deadly place. Not to live, but to do research on the rusting artifacts of the bygone civilization. And, the fate that awaits them is Jason X, the tenth film in the classic Friday the 13th series. Since the producers have run out of Jason ideas in this world, may as well fast-forward to the future gone backward (or something like that). It’s a fair though unnecessary horror film delivering some high body count and creative killings, but don’t’ expect Jamie Lee Curtis to show up anytime soon.
