Line #16 YMMV/JasonX


1	* AngstWhatAngst: Rowan was in cryostasis for over 400 years, but she takes it well, even though everything in her past life is now completely gone and even Earth is now a dead rock. Granted, the knowledge that Jason Voorhees is on the Grendel with her would skew priorities away from that.
2	* ContestedSequel: Probably more than any other ''Friday the 13th'' film. Some fans think this is the absolute worst film in the entire series because it abandoned any attempt to be serious and leaned into the absolute craziness of Jason in space. Others think it is one of the better entries in the series [[{{Camp}} because it abandoned any attempt to be serious and leaned into the absolute craziness of Jason in space]].
3	* CrossesTheLineTwice: The "Crystal Lake VR" scene, which is basically the franchise ruthlessly mocking its own tired cliches. It's hilarious.
4	-->'''VR Teen Girls:''' We ''love'' premarital sex!
5	* EnsembleDarkHorse:
6	** GoodBadGirl, DeadpanSnarker Janessa certainly has a big fanbase despite being a secondary or tertiary character. Yes Janessa, we do want you.
7	** Brodski as well. He refuses to die, [[spoiler:to the point that he manages to kill Jason for good]], and fans adore him far more than the main cast as a result.
8	** Adrienne, due to [[spoiler:her memorable death by liquid notrogen]] and seeming like a NiceGirl and TheReliableOne during her two or three scenes.
9	* FanonDiscontinuity: Some fans prefer to disregard everything after Jason's first fight with Kay-Em. Seeing Jason on the receiving end of such a CurbStompBattle is a satisfying ending for many fans, several popular characters who subsequently die are still alive at that point, and many people have trouble taking Jason's subsequent cyborg upgrade seriously.
10	* HilariousInHindsight:
11	** People in bug-eyed masks and long red coats scavenging a dead planet is rather amusing after seeing ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014''.
12	** Jason would later show up as a DLC character in ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', making it the second time he showed up in the tenth installment of a series that also had the letter "X" in the title.
13	** In the fifth season of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' Peter Mensah (Sgt. Brodski) would have ''another'' chance for a duel-wielding knife fight aboard a spaceship [[spoiler: where he ends up dying a fiery death]] (although in that show, Mensah was playing the bad guy.)
14	** This movie shows us a future in which humanity has apparently abandoned Earth because of some terrible past event; 17 years later ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'' would end its series with [[spoiler: Ash waking up in an apocalyptic future where androids are apparently fighting demons on a devastated Earth]]. Probably a coincidence, but, they do share a verse [[Comicbook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh in the comics]]
15	* IAmNotShazam: ''Jason X'' refers to the fact that this is the tenth ''Friday the 13th'' film. Jason's cyborg form is called Uber Jason. The ''[[Comicbook/FridayThe13thJasonVsJasonX Jason vs. Jason X]]'' comic promptly ignored all that for the sake of name recognition.
16	* ItWasHisSled: Jason turning into a cyborg was originally supposed to be a surprise, but the marketing of the film--including the poster--did all it could to spoil that twist.
17	* JustHereForGodzilla: A few only watched this movie for Jonathan Potts, who plays Professor Lowe, as he had memetically voiced Link in ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989 The Legend of Zelda cartoon]]''.
18	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: This film is one for Kane Hodder. Put aside how the film was received for a moment--for many fans, Hodder ''is'' Jason Voorhees. In what would be his last performance (until [[VideoGame/FridayThe13thTheGame The Game]]) as Jason, he got ''top billing'' in the cast list.
19	* NarmCharm:
20	** This was intentional with Jason dealing with the virtual campers. When he is killing them by swinging them around in sleeping bags, all you hear from them is "Ow! Ow! Ow!"
21	** Kay-Em crinkling her nose in delight at dispatching Jason.
22	* QuirkyWork: Not the film itself but rather the sequel novel ''Death Moon'', in which the author has a habit of [[AuthorFilibuster going on nonsensical rants that have nothing to do with what little story is in the book]]. One part is just pages and pages of the author ranting about ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'' star Elsa Lanchester in a disjointed fashion.
23	* SignatureScene:
24	** The liquid nitrogen kill. The developers of ''VideoGame/FridayThe13thTheGame'' even wanted to include it as a stretch goal on the Kickstarter. ''So'' infamous it was even tested by the ''Series/MythBusters''!
25	** Jason being revived as a cyborg.
26	** [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments The sleeping bag girls.]]
27	** Brodski [[spoiler: riding Jason into the atmosphere]].
28	* SoBadItsGood: Unlike the more grounded previous films--well, "grounded" relative to this film--Jason is now in space! What's not to love? Many fans believe the filmmakers knew exactly what kind of movie they were making and eventually embraced the narm-y, shark-jumpy premise while using the setting to deliver a bunch of awesome kills.
29	* SpecialEffectsFailure: [[spoiler:Janessa]] dies when she is sucked out an airlock through a grate. It happens off-screen, but there is no sound effect, and the GoryDiscretionShot is so quick, you might actually miss what happened.
30	* {{Squick}}:
31	** Two words are all we need: "liquid nitrogen".
32	** [[spoiler:Janessa]] gets sucked out into the vacuum of space... through a fist-sized hole covered by a grate. We don't see her get crushed and shredded, but we do see torn bloody flesh remnants on the grate and the tail end of her nearly liquefied body disappearing into space.
33	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
34	** Crutch has a rare experience of being a minor character who survive his first encounters with Jason but neither this or his skills as engineer really do much afterwards, when he's just another RedShirt.
35	** Janessa [[spoiler: has some interesting {{UST}} with Tsuarnon and a bit or CharacterDevelopment but then dies in a silly, almost incidental way when she could have been an interesting presence in the climax.]]
36	** A couple of Brodski's grunts who behaved more intelligently in going after Jason feel like they should have lasted at least a little longer.
37	* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:Brodski only dies when he kills Jason for good.]]
38	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The opening credits qualify, as they take place inside Jason's body and bloodstream.
