In the past of 2002 the future of 2010 had cryogenic technology.

                  So, this is not a post about action figures. it's about Jason X.


 why? because I decided to watch it. it's on demand. now I remember when this movie came out back in 2002. I knew it was going to be bad long before I decided to go see it, but the critics from Fangoria Magazine said despite how bad it sounds it's actually really good.

                Now I've seen many horror villains go into space. Pinhead and the Leprechaun both tried it, so why not Jason right? And let's face it. Jason took Manhattan Just like the Muppet's so why not take it into outer space. Well my point is I went to go see it. And I was right, this movie was a piece of shit.
so I see it on my list on demand and I think to myself for a minute. why do I want to see it again?

Well I start to watch it, and i start to realize. I want to know if it's still as bad as I remember it to be?
Oh yes.
It's still horrible but i did find some really interesting things in this movie that maybe because when  it was released we were not thinking about where we would be almost a decade later.

The majority of the movie takes place in 24 something of another. but in the very beginning the movie starts off in the futuristic time of 2010. in this version of the future Cryogenic stasis is possible for an immortal killing machine that being Jason Voorheese. I think that's how you spell his name.

Anyway, there's a lot of twists to this part I don't want to type out so I will say he ends up in 24 something or another and well i'll just go down the list of things that they had
hologram like next generation sequence
morality jokes about the 1980's
nano technology
life like android
oh yeah
i forgot so earth was destroyed and scavengers from earth 2 were on the planet for some reason i wasn't paying attention to hard. anyway it takes place on a space ship. so he kills a lot of people in the ship proving that even in a space ship you can make a horror movie. which was what was interesting to me and even why i wrote this blog here.

if your curious i never type with caps i always type out lower case. so at first all i could hear is my wife telling me use capitals cause she's a grammar Nazi. but after trying really had to keep that up i got tired of talking about this movie so i wanted to rush it. so i am not writing to her specifications.

i just wanted to say if youtr looking to watch a good movie this is not one to watch, but if you wanted to experience and interesting perspective change between what we were going to be in 2010 vs looking back at what we were and how not so in the future view point of 24 something or another to check the movie out. my favorite part is where one guy offers the military unit leader 500 thousand dollars to kill jason, or the fact that they are in a space ship and the guy figures out that a relic like jason voorheese could be worth millions. it preety funny how inflation in someones mind really works.

ok movies done i'm going to bed.
