Jason X





              In this movie, the author deals with the idea of biotech and genetics. Jason is an unstoppable who should've died several times in the movie were it not for the help of technology. I believe that although this movie is completely childish and unrealistic, the possibility of technology that keeps you alive forever falling into the wrong hands is very high. Humanity seems to have a problem keeping anything out of the wrong hands, as shown by situation like the world's atomic bomb ownerships and websites like wiki leaks.
             The director gets this theme across using a lame horror movie as his vehicle. In an attempt to scare the public into not developing technologies that can grant life or protecting them better, the director has made a movie that imposes fear into the audience. The director is, in a way, attempting to scare the public into making sure the circumstances of this film don't occur. The imagery and word choice in this trailer were extremely unhelpful towards getting this theme across. Had the author taken it more seriously or not made something so lame, he would actually have an interesting topic at hand.
