K-Pax
Sep 3 2010
Format:DVD
When I received the video it seemed in good condition, but when I played it the first half of the movie was all digitally fragmented. I was not impressed. However this is the first bad situation I experienced from Amazon and I would not hesitate from ordering again.
good, but what the heck?????????

Fine acting for the most part, an enjoyable story line and good photography, too. But I have to ask: how does Spacey know the orbit trajectories or whatever it is of his supposed far-off galaxy? Did he secretly bone up on this one thing to sway the authorities? And the ending! A vibrant, intelligent (if troubled) person is turned into a drooling basket case by the brilliant doctors of Manhattan Institute. Now that's some serious doctoring! And then the good doctor finally bonds with his son? Huh?

Kevin Spacey plays a character named Prot, who may be from the planet K-PAX, or he may be a deluded person from New Mexico with a painful personal secret. A case could be made for either scenario, but I find compelling evidence for the former.
In any event, Prot makes an unusual appearance at a train station, is involved in a minor altercation, and is arrested and put in a mental ward under the care of Dr. Powell (Jeff Bridges) and claims to be from the planet K-PAX, 1000 lightyears from Earth. Prot is questioned and hypnotized on several occasions, without conclusive evidence to his true identity. Without spoiling the end, Dr. Powell finally follows a clue to his apparent satisfaction, though uncertain conclusion.
Regardless of the outcome, getting there is pretty well done. Spacek puts a slightly unusual spin on things (especially fruit) and is quite humorous, and Bridges is good as well. Nice cinematography.
The DVD has a director's commentary, a behind-the-scenes documentary, deleted scenes, alternate ending, and the usual setup features.
"Your produce alone has been worth the trip."

Spacey is AMAZING!
Great acting by both Spacey and Bridges. The plot flows very well. There are some logical holes in the story but I liked it so much, I was willing to over look them. Read more

Brilliant!
K-PAX is a movie in it's own. Kevin Spacey plays a brilliant performance of "Prot," the Ailen from K-PAX, and Jeff Bridges plays Spacey's phycologist in a mental institution. Read more

I would not recommend this one.
First of all I love these actors to bits and the story does sound good. Spacey could be a man from another planet, here visiting earth, who gets caught up in psychiatric evaluation... Read more

Jeff Bridges is Excellent
This is one of those movies that you will either get into or you won't. The premise is interesting and at the same time totally preposterous. Read more
