A Gal Named Sarah and AtomoPrime see JASON X and comment
Hey folks, Harry here and ya know what... I have a real interesting first review here for ya. Sarah and her GirlFriend went to a test screening last night of JASON X. Now, to clarify... Sarah doesn't care for Jason, Freddy or Michael Myers movies, and over the course of her review... states she usually is insulted by the lame female characters they contain. She went in expecting to get up and leave at some point and instead had.... A BLAST? At the same time, even that lug, Moriarty liked it... but the concept of a JASON movie that appeals to feminist and anti-Jason types... well, it is kinda exciting. Then, ATOMOPRIME chimes in as your typical Alpha-Male... and he digs it. Hmmmm.... Sounds like this could be ... a good FRIDAY THE 13th film? Somebody check Quint's drawers.... a load has been delivered.
Hi Harry,
I Flew to LA to visit some friends and got the chance
to go to a Hollywood screening last night. We were
told it was for a horror movie but they didn't tell us
what movie.
When my girlfriend and I showed up early we waited
around for a long time. Where I'm from movies start
on time. Maybe screenings are different. Anyway,
while waiting for the movie to start we saw this young
girl, maybe 14, wearing a "Jason X" T-shirt. We were
cracking up at the idea that we might actually be
sitting in a crappy Friday the 13th screening. The
funny thing is, we didn't even know that "Jason X"
really was a movie! We thought it was some rock group
or something. Neither I nor my girlfriend care much
for Jason, Freddy or that other guy in the white mask.
I did like Scream though.
Well, it WAS Jason X! That's Friday the 13th part
ten. Guess they decided to cut the name short. LOL
The movie started and we thought about trying to sneak
out, but every time we started to leave something in
the movie would grab our attention. The first thing
to grab us was the special effects. They were
amazing.
And you know what? We stayed for the whole movie and
we had a blast. LOL, there's no way I can admit this
to my friends when I get back home! They'll disown
me!
Anyway, most of the movie takes place in the future,
and the special effects were really good. It was sort
of like watching a DVD. It was really clear and the
colors were amazing. I heard some guy saying they'd
made the film with some new technology and maybe
that's important, but I'm not really sure what he was
talking about. Sorry, I guess I should have asked but
I didn't know I was going to write you this.
There was alot of blood and gore and stuff, which I
don't really like, but the audience seemed to love it.
I mean, there's some really gross stuff in this
movie!
But, it was fast paced and funny and there was really
a story going on. I was surprised at how many twists
and turns it had. Several times I found myself on the
edge of my seat. I mean, I thought all of those
franchise movies were the same things over and over.
This one was alot of fun.
One of the big reasons I liked this movie was the
strong female characters. Most movies just ignore the
girls or have them in there to fill some gap. These
girls rocked! The guys were ok too, and one of them
was really cute, but the girls rule this movie!
Here's a quote from the lead girl when a bunch of them
are hiding from Jason: "You make another sound and
I'll snap your neck myself." Maybe I'm twisted, but I
thought that was cool.
Finally, just when you think the movie's over, it's
just picking up speed. My girlfriend says I shouldn't
tell you what happens so all I'll say is Jason is
clearly hard to kill. He's ugly too. You take the
mask off of Skeet Ulrich and he's fine! Well, You
take the mask off of Jason and he's just plain UGH!
This movie isn't as scary as Scream or the Exorcist,
but I didn't think they meant for it to be. Don't get
me wrong, there are certainly some scares and way too
many gross-outs but there's alot more action, which I
like more anyway. It will crack you up too. I don't
know, it's just a fun movie and I guess I wasn't
expecting that.
I liked all of the actors but I didn't recognize any
of them. The lead girl is tough and the guy who
brings her back to life is a sleeze. Sanaron and the
Robot were my favorites. The Marines on the ship were
pretty cool too though. Oh, and there's some director
in the movie but I forget his name. He was real good
too. Of course, we're not talking the cast of "Pay It
Forward" here, but for this kind of movie I thought
they were all pretty good and it looked like they were
having fun making the movie. I don't know. I think
that's important.
After it was over we had to fill out this sheet with
questions like, "Would you recommend this to a
friend?" and "How would you rate this movie?
Excellent, Very Good, etc." I put Very Good.
I guess if I had a negative comment it would be music.
It sounded sort of 70ish. I think it would be a
better movie if they had some bands playing on the
soundtrack. Incubus or Nine Inch Nails would be great
in this movie.
My girlfriend was picked to stay afterwards to talk to
the film makers. She said most of the group really
liked the movie. No one in the group said it was
excellent but she said they were all very excited
about different parts of it and like us, most of them
had rated it "Very Good". She did say there was one
couple sitting in the back who hated it. Said the guy
kept taking about how bad the character development
was and stuff like that. LOL! Good grief. I liked
the characters. I told her she should have slapped
him and told him this wasn't Citizen Kane. She said
he was bitter because no one would buy his screenplay.
I say, LA people are just weird. :)
Well, without giving away any of the story, I guess
that sums it up. It's a fun movie. Drag your date to
see it. She may fight at first, but she'll like it in
the end. I did.
Hope this comes in handy. I doubt I'll ever have
anything else to send you. We don't get many film
crews in Tennessee and certainly no screenings.
SarahHey folks, Harry here with ATOMOPRIME... who isn't a girl and he likes JASON X too. What's up with this? A JASON movie for a girl and a boy? Crazy man, crazy...
Hey Harry!
AtomoPrime here! I‚m a long time reader and I finally have something more to contribute to AICN then whining in the Talk Backs I got the chance to see JASON X at a screening at the Media Center AMC 6 in Burbank, California I almost feel ashamed to say that, but it be true! The audience was told that they were the first to see this blood fest and we were given the usual spill about effects being unfinished, scenes that will be edited out, yada yada yada The flick starts in 2010 with Jason already imprisoned in the Crystal Lake Research Facility. He was being held here after every attempt at executing this mass murderer (is Crystal Lake in Texas?) had failed. The current course of action for the facility is to cryogenically freeze Jason until they can discover a way to eliminate him permanently. The military has other plans. They believe that Jason shouldn‚t be put on ice, but should be studied due to his amazing regenerative abilities. Jason believes that he should kill everyone. I think you can fill in the blanks about what happens next. Unfortunately for Jason, he has to go that extra mile and try to kill the cute female scientist who planned to freeze him. She succeeds in luring Jason into the cryo-chamber, but ends up locked in with ol‚ Jason and finds herself frozen along with him. Now fast forward 400 years (yeah, ya heard me right!) when the chamber is discovered by a group of archeology students on a field trip to our now dead Earth (it‚s never really explained what happened to our big blue marble, but that isn‚t the point). They discover our heroine and her machete wielding nemesis and decide to bring the pair of Popsicles back with them. Note to all future archeologists: If you find a big frozen guy wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete- PUT HIM BACK AND BURN YOUR MAPS! Upon the return to their ship, the Grendel, these plucky students successfully revive the 20th century scientist with the help of their professor. The professor soon contacts a mysterious beneficiary and tells him that he has revived a woman that has been frozen for over 400 years. The professor‚s contact is not impressed, but is thrilled to learn that they have obtained the remains of the legendary Jason Voorhees Elsewhere, a cute blonde female student and a guy and gal that can‚t keep their hands off each other have taken Jason to another medical bay to be studied. Soon the couple leaves to engage each other in their quarters. During their lovemaking we watch Jason start to twitch. This goes unnoticed by the blonde student. Then, right when the young couple reach the point of climax, Jason suddenly sits straight up and feels his urge to kill rising. Note to all future archeologists: If you find a big frozen guy wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete and bring him home- DO NOT HAVE PREMARITAL SEX! Jason dispatches the blonde gal, chooses a wicked looking Œfuture machete‚ and is off on his merry way. The blondes corpse is soon discovered and the ROTC-like military unit on board the ship is soon dispatched to hunt down Jason. The greedy professor asks the units leader (the characters name is Brodski I believe What I described above was about the first fifteen minutes or so. This flick moves at a good pace and is high on cheese and body count, but low on actual scare. I will not describe too much more, save to say that highlights include: The much rumored new and improve Jason (when you see him, you will either die laughing or cheer yourself hoarse), a bad-ass fight between Jason and a female cyborg armed to the teeth, a flash back to Crystal Lake circa 1980 with sleeping bag fun, and watching Jason take on armed military types. There is plenty of fun to be had with JASON X. Jason is back in a movie that is a breath of fresh air to a franchise that was limping after part 3D. I personally was NOT looking forward to this movie. It sounded just plain dumb and still will to most of you out there. I enjoyed the movie for what it was: Cheese. Bloody cheese, but fun bloody cheese. So the final thought is: Go and have fun. Just don‚t think too much and you‚ll be fine AtomoPrime has spoken!

How fun! (And if I wasn't first after all, big deal.)
-
Not only am I first, but it's in a Friday the 13th post to boot. Long live Jason!
-
After the Steve Miner shite this series was so seriously bogged down in - not to mention that of his imitators - I can't wait to see something a bit more fresh. Can I get first dibs on the next sequel, while I'm here?
-
WOW. I hope I get this in!!!
-
Do those two movies belong in the same thought?
-
...I really disliked the first review. It certainly doesn't give me much confidence on the quality of this film when it's being reviewed by a naive teenybopper type. The second review was ok though...
-
You wait half hour for one talk-backer, and a whole string come along at once. Seriously, however, I'd love a crack at all out slasher directing. And if anybody want's to read my treatment for a new American Werewolf sequel...
Hang on a minute. It's this place really cut out for such self promotion?
PS - While I'm here, I was serious about Miner. For my money, he's one of the most inept directors to get taken at all seriously. Any of you his fans? Why? No, seriously. Why? I'd really like to understand how he a) keeps getting work and b) sleeps at night -
WOW. I hope I get this in!!!
-
Because she's obviously a plant.
-
First of all, f*ck off with all your first bullshit! Nobody cares! Secondly, that little girl's review was by far the worst piece of shite I've ever read. Stop it.

New Line, ya bastards, think we don't know a fake review when we
by lance rock
Oh well, you've piqued my curiosity. Congrats!
-
1.) Fuck I hate people who are all like "I hate freddy, jason and those other idiots - but I liked Scream!" Geez, Scream killed horror as we know it. 2.) LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Fuck off and die asshole!!
-
I think those might be the two most fake reviews I've ever read on this site. They should have gone ahead and signed them "Love, New Line."
-
The first reviewer is obviously a fake. It sounds like it was written by a journalism student trying to write in the voice of a teenybopper. LAME!!!!!
-
Harry, I appreciate the reviews, but if you've already got a piece from Moriarty covering the film, there's no need to run what must be the most suspiciously fake review in years. I think even my dog could tell it was a studio plant. Thanks New Line. I'm glad to know you enjoyed your own movie.
-
First, if you can get me a job with 'em, I'LL TAKE IT! LOL! Seriously, I'm not a plant. Just a movie freak as I hope everyone else here is. But thanks for what I'll take as a compliment! Though I have worked in film in the past, in no way have I been involved with any major studios. If you have any questions, please contact me through the main E-mail link above or at AtomoPrime@aol.com.
P.S. If anyone can get me a PS2 Memory Card, let me know! LOL -
This is the only site on the 'net I've seen that has reviews of the FILM REVIEWS.
In keeping with the topic, I think the Friday series is crap (even the first sucked), but I'm really looking forward to this. It sounds like this year's Bride of Chucky. When you have a franchise with NO good movies in it, make a new one that doesn't take itself seriously at all! Sounds like the right way to go. By the way, "the real players" Freddy, Jason, and Michael were definitely "teenybopper crap" in the 80's.
The Thinker -
Anyway, this is the weirdest sounding concept since having Nic Cage play Superman. Jason in space? This has all the earmarks of a cult classic.
-
That first review was definately 100% fake! If the script to Jason X is as badly written as that phony review then it really will suck.
-
Hell I been watching the Jason pictures since back when it was in 3-D. I mean shit I remember way back when that lug was still wearing a bag on his head. I don't know HOW he played hockey with that thing but you know, some people are able to make do with what the lord blesses them with. Anyway some of those early ones are fun. and I imagine that type of movie is even better when, for some reason, it's in space. I haven't seen the Leprechaun in Space but maybe I should just to test my theory. I will definitely go see this one even thought that first review there is obviously phoney. nice try assholes.
-
...or did Sarah's review stink of "plant". I hope JASON X is fun, but I didn't buy that calculated b.s. review for a second.
-
When are we gonna finally see Freddy vs. Jason?? Im hopin Jason X is somewhat successful so that script sees th elight of day.
-
actually there are 2 scripts out there..one is done by Braga the Star Trek writer and amazingly he shows more respect for the Friday and Nightmare franchises than he does star trek in a surprisingly wonderful script that incorporates Jason X in a really cool way at the end...http://www.fridaythe13thfilms.com/bts/scriptbm.html check it out I think it a inventive and a ton of fun and uses Freddies powers better than before...for a joke now go here and see the standard crap hollywood treatment that uses Freddy 7 and Jason 9 as springboards and involves the 'devil' oooh scary NOT!http://members.tripod.com/bhundlan/scripts/FreddyVsJason_Briggs.txt
-
Just like the Leprechaun series...
The Lep in Space will kick the crap out of Jason in Space. I can't wait to see Jason in a Low Rider with Neon ground effects. -
Well, I'm now praying to GOD that the first review was a plant. No one on the planet could have Excorist and Scream in the same sentence, that's just pathetic. And Incubus???
Hey New Line, next time RESEARCH the culture your trying to fool. God, why didn't you just plant the words N'Sync in there so I know to run for the hills!
And Scream was scary? I thought everyone said it was a lame comedy? Make up your minds, is it scarier or not???
Friday the 13th may have been cheesy but at least really crappy teen idols (ie Kevin Bacon) DIED in this series. Unlike Halloween which made the deadly mistake of only having Michael Myers kill 2 people in his return to film ( COME ON! TWO PEOPLE!)
I want Freddie Prince Jr. to make a last minute guest apperance and have Jason slice his head off! -
Hey, I haven't seen one person (maybe I didn't read carefully enough) that realized that Harry does know these two "reviewers" are plants.
Go back and read what Harry says before the reviews. -
just when everybody had something bad to say about this new jason movie, here we have two raving reviews. Sounds like bullshit and a hoax to me. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the people involved send harry these reviews. But still, I like these kind of movies so I'll see it anyways
-
...'cause it must've been a lot for you to speak so eloquently of this film while sounding like a pitch man in front of a bunch o' agents.
Or you were just a plant. -
Back the fuck off of the reviewere they gave u ur fucking review. He said what he felt ohh well, get over the fact that a non-horror lover saw it first
-
I apologize. From the bottom of my soul I apologize. I wish there was something I could do. I wish there was something medical science could do. But, unfortunately, you will remain an ignorant, inbred, angry and lonely litte man for the rest of your life. We're all truly sorry for you.
-
1) Spell more words wrong - and "alot" doesn't count, since you probably did that one by accident.
2) Don't pretend to know about things but feign ignorance - ex. "some director is in it, too..."
3) The "I don't normally like this kind of movie" approach is tired. Try something new - like the "I smoked so much weed that it didn't matter how much this movie sucked" approach.
4) Don't underestimate how incredibly stupid you in fact are. Tap into your own true ignorance and run with it. Don't make the mistake of thinking you have to pretend. Your natural inferiority and banality with shine through!
5) Ignore the four previous hints and you'll be penning the script for the script for "Jason XI" or "Urban Legends 6" in no time. -
I understand how these reviews might be considered as plant, but it just doesn't make much sense to me that a plant would give away so many spoilers in thier review. Why would we go see the movie if we know plot points that the makers of this film (who are NOT new line btw, this was NEWLINES first screening of this film, which was just turned into them last week) are very secrretive about? Oh well, I'm still looking foward to this flick....
-
I don't care what any of you say. I'm gonna be first in line to see Jason X when it comes out. Saying New Line wrote thos. What a crock of ****!
-
Ok. Whether or not the review was fake shouldn't matter. The woman was obviously a troglodyte either way. She referred to someone that seemed interested in logistics and character development as a 'weird LA type'. The 'some director is in it' comment pretty much sums up that it's a fake review since any standard American wouldn't have the first clue who David Cronenberg was(especially some teenage hillbilly retard from Tennessee, and second...if you don't know who he is...how do you know he's a director? If you need a review to tell you that this movie will be a bunch of sex, bad dialogue, cheesy gore, and non-existent character development, then you're in severe denial. It may be fun to people who are amused by cheesy horror films, but really....it's not going to be anything beyond that.
-
them reviews r not bullshit,r atleast not atomoprimes review,a lil of it might be BS,but maybe not all of it,there was a test screeing for this movie back in november,so for all of u bitching about the review being BS,u can hold on to your dicks now,there has been no news as of the release date on this movie,but 1st quarter 2002 is likely,so an august release for this movie will not happen,the parts of the test screening put into these reviews that have been posted could be changed,so no one really knows what the damned movies gonna be like,espicially from these reviews,MOST OF IT CAME FROM THE TEST SCREEING OF THE MOVIE PEOPLE,so u can stop your fighting about the BS reviews,I think it will be a great movie,im a big fan of the friday the 13th films,I enjoy watching them,so for all of u people saying friday the 13th is full of cheese well u should be locked away for a very long time!!!!!!!!!
-
in resonce to the fight between jason and the cyborg women,this does take place in the movie,well lets just say it might,you all gotta see this though http://www.diabolical-dominion.com/News/Jasonx5.jpg this bitch looks lika female terminator,the 2 guns to the head look sweet!!!!!!
