Did this movie follow on from an earlier one? Did he really get frozen and locked away in an earlier film?
Also the ending with him burning up in the atmosphere. Was that Earth or another planet with teenagers?
Have you not seen any previous movies, wouldn't want to spoil things for you.
BTW: if you watched this on DVD then the directors commentary is most revealing.
As for the ending... of course he didn't burn up completely, merely received a light toasting, and it was a different "Earth" since Earth Prime was a baron wasteland - like the ghetto part of Loughborough. :D
I haven't seen the one immediately prior to this but have no intention to so I don't mind being spoilt. I just like this one for the space stuff. But in a previous movie did they freeze him and lock him away?
I thought only the mask he wears survived the landing on the other Earth like planet.. But I suppose a few cells could make him regenerate
If you've not seen Jason 9 AND you've not seen Freddy vs Jason then it would be right mean of me to say stuff about them. And if you're gonna see FvJ I'd recommend you track down J9 to watch beforehand - though not great it is worth watching for [iainttelling]
But as for JasonX and how it fits into the series.
Strictly speaking it isn't a sequel to J9 and doesn't fit as a prequel to JvF. You COULD view it as the last movie in the original F13 franchise (I don't view the 2009 crapfest as part of the series). But I view JX as kinda a standalone movie - just thought of the Fast and Furious Tokoyo Drift movie (if you're clued in with those movies, this one (No3) takes places sometime after No5 since certain characters are still living, AND with No6+No7 coming out it might just take place after those ones too). So CRONOLOGICALLY speaking JX is the 10th movie and I'd say watch it 10th, but time line speaking, well that's a little fuzzy. Just think of it as "sometime in the future he got captured" then JX movie took place. As for the ending, been awhile since I saw it but didn't come away thinking JUST his mask survived (+a couple of cells), I left believing Jason landed, albeir a roasted version (and had JXp2) been made I guess they could have utilised his batteredness to do away with all those metal upgrades, having his body regenerate (intime) to make him whole again).
BTW: I know you've said you wouldn't mind J9 being spoilt but since it and JvF were such big omg+wow events/things for me I just can't bring myself to deny even an adimant "I ain't gonna watch 'em, honest" person the opportunity to be similarly wowed.
Well fair enough on holding back the spoilers .....
One day I might bring myself to watch the originals in order
Maybe they just got me at the right age to be engraved on the "will be forever considered awesome" part of my brain but I have much love for the series. Helped, bo doubr, by the movies 1-5 appearing in successive days on a movie channel soon after our home got hooked up to cable tv - some 20 odd years ago.
Too bad they went the reboot direction just 2 movies away from the 13th one.
I never understood the whole reboot thing. If you have a good franchise and it's popular many years after it started why change something that is obviously working, and even gaining new fans.

So no, Jason X isn't a stand-alone movie that has no connection with the other movies. It does and happens to be both chronologically after Freddy Vs. Jason and the last entry of the original series.

shareSpoiler Alert: What happens at the end of goes to hell is that the heroes end Jason to hell with a magic dagger. In Freddy Vs. Jason, Freddy raises Jason from the dead to make people remember him, but they have their differences and fight. At the end Jason is in the lake with Freddy´s head. So no, him getting captures is not shown.
I love classic monsters.
