Actually the real questions should be;
Why Jason X?
Why was there a Jason 2 thru 9?
But, always entertain yourself as you see fit.
“Jason X” was much better than I expected it to be. It also had a relatively interesting plot. Honest.
Not to mention the science of it all! One of the problems with cryogenics is the cellular damage caused by freezing. Using nanotechnology makes perfect sense for repairing things on that level. I’m sure the folks I saw the movie with didn’t give a darn one way or the other, but I was impressed.
There was also a genuinely interesting demonstration of how liquid nitrogen works.
And the virtual reality simulation to distract Jason was pure inspired genius.
