Jason X
In the year 2455, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for centuries -- a brown world of violent storms, toxic landmasses and poisonous seas. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled, not to live, but to research the ancient, rusting artifacts of the long-gone civilizations. But it's not the harmful environment that could prove fatal to the intrepid, young explorers who have just landed on Old Earth. For them, it's Friday the 13th, and Jason lives!

Plot
In 2008, mass murderer Jason Voorhees is captured by the United States government and held at the Crystal Lake Research Facility. By 2010, after numerous failed attempts to kill him, Rowan LaFontaine, the head of the facility, suggests placing him in cryogenic stasis. Dr. Wimmer and Sergeant Marcus from the Scranton Facility arrive with soldiers, hoping to study Jason's ability to heal from lethal wounds, as they believe it involves rapid cellular regeneration that can be replicated. Jason breaks free of his restraints, killing the soldiers and Dr. Wimmer. Rowan lures him into a cryogenic pod, but he ruptures the pod with his machete, stabbing her in the abdomen. Cryogenic fluid spills into the sealed room, freezing them both.
Around the year 2455, Earth has become so polluted that it can no longer support life, and humans have moved to a new planet named Earth II. On a field trip to Earth I, Professor Brandon Lowe, his android companion KM-14, intern Adrienne Thomas, and students Tsunaron Peyton, Janessa Zachary, Azrael Benrubi, Kinsa Cooper, Waylander, and Stoney explore the abandoned Crystal Lake Research Facility, finding the frozen Jason and Rowan. They bring them aboard their spaceship, the Grendel, and revive Rowan while leaving Jason in the morgue, believing him to be dead.
Adrienne is ordered to dissect Jason's body, but Rowan warns them of Jason's nature and superhuman abilities. Lowe, who is in serious debt, calls his financial backer Dieter Perez on the nearby space station Solaris. Perez recognizes Jason's name and notes his body could interest a collector. While Stoney and Kinsa have sex, Jason suddenly awakens and kills Adrienne by freezing her head with liquid nitrogen and smashing it to pieces on a counter. He finds Stoney and Kinsa, killing the former with a machete-shaped surgical tool. He later interrupts a projected holographic game, breaking Azrael's back and bashing crewman Dallas's skull in. He tries to attack engineer Crutch, but Sergeant Elijah Brodski arrives with a group of soldiers to attack Jason. After Brodski splits up his team, Jason kills them one by one.
