Summary: I'd rather watch the un-credited original movie...
Review: ...although I really like Kevin Spacey. He's a great actor and he does a great job in here, but 'Man facing South-East' the original Argentinean movie was way better than the american version.
And I still can't believe that the director won't recognize that the movie was 101% based on that south-american gem.

Summary: K-Pax is out of this world
Review: K-Pax is a great film filled with spirit, fun and wonder. It leaves you really thinking, what if? The acting is great, and it has a well written story. K-Pax was really underrated, You can't go wrong with this movie.

Summary: Mesmerizing
Review: This is one of my top movie pics of all time. I truly believed in the story and in the characters. And, even though the ending really surprised me - I thought it was fantastic - brilliant!
The ending allowed the "realistic" view to sit with the view of those of us who can "believe". If you dare to believe, you will watch Prot leave the man and return home. If you don't, the ending allows you explain it away with madness. But, either way, it doesn't disappoint. I, for one, am a believer and I felt sad for the doctor at the end when he really missed Prot - I did too!
Great acting across the board - this movie should not be missed!

Summary: Spacey et Bridges: Oscar-Deserving Performances
Review: I disagree with some of the viewers that the movie had a bad ending. The leading cast was so good that they were worth the watch in their own right (notably Spacey's heart-wrenching depiction of Pete during the hynopsis). The movie was otherwise well-paced and did marvelously in keeping you guessing until the very end - is Prot really from K-PAX? Good bonus materials - I agree with director Iain Softley that his first choice for the ending of the film, albeit not a major digression from the actual release (as seen from the "alternate ending"), would be a much better way to end of the movie.

Summary: K-PAX...the galaxy within...
Review: Totally awesome script.There is two guidelines you should follow when watching this movie. One,listen in on every word Prot talks about,especially about his friend Peter. And secondly,watch what happens when Prot draws K-PAX.That is all.

Summary: The ending broke the beautiful plot
Review: I was really hoping (I think alot were) that Spacey WAS actually going to be from K-pax. Why? Why? WHY?!? It was such a beatiful film! When I saw the trailer for K-PAX I was so excited! It looked SO great! I thought I actually found a wonderful movie. An Oscar-worthy movie. The whole film was perfect...UNTIL the end. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED! What IS it with bad endings nowadays?? HANNIBAL, PLANET OF THE APES, CASTAWAY...and now K-PAX!! JEEZ! What next? I really, REALLY hope it won't be RESIDENT EVIL. I'm praying for a good ending (and no corny parts or a crappy plot). Anyway, go ahead and give K-PAX a try. Of course, this is just my opinion. Everyone has different tastes in movies.(Oh yeah, the acting was spectacular. Spacey and Bridges are great! That deserves credit.)

Summary: Original, Powerful and Thought-Provoking
Review: This is most definitely NOT your typical alien movie, or your typical psychiatrist-patient diagnosis. I won't spoil this movie by going into details, but it brings up a wonderful union of story that both the believer and the non-believers can enjoy and talk about together over coffee or dessert afterward, in a stimulating and friendly manner rather than a closed-minded and argumentative one. Once again, I won't spoil with details, but I'll say the ending leaves the movie extremely open to interpretation, and enough room for at least two entirely different stories to have happened. Sit down, believe what you want you can still enjoy this film thoroughly.

Summary: "K-Pax" is a Fantastic Film in Three Acts
Review: I've often been a fan of Kevin Spacey and have often felt that he has such a strong acting capability that he can carry a whole film, if need be. That was the thought I was having as I went in to see "K-Pax," a film in which Kevin Spacey plays a mysterious mental patient named prot, whom may or may not be an alien from a far away planet called K-Pax. On going into the theater I thought that I'd probably come out of it two hours later thinking Kevin Spacey was fantastic but that the rest of the movie was contrived; just some sort of cheap convention to show off Kevin Spacey's acting. I was very wrong indeed. "K-Pax" is a wonderful film that plays with the mind almost as much as it plays with the heart. For the first part of the film (The first "act," as it were) you're convinced that Kevin Spacey is one thing. Then by the second part (Act Two) you're gradually convinced he's something entirely different. Then, by the third part (Act Three) you're turned completely on your head and don't know what to think. Throughout all of this, "K-Pax" is filled with a touching form of sentimentality that, while walking a thin line between touching and corny, manages to succeed and genuinely move the audience. Most of the performances are great. As mentioned before, Kevin Spacey has an amazing talent for acting and his performance here is no exception; he definitely could carry this film, he just doesn't need to. Jeff Bridges (as the psychologist who studies Spacey) also gives a wonderful performance that's strong and touching, albeit a bit more low-key than Spacey's performance. In fact, the only actor who doesn't give a good performance in the film is Mary McCormack as Jeff Bridges' wife. She plays her role too one-note and eventually grows tedious to watch. This is a minor qualm, however, in an utterly fantastic film. "K-Pax" is certainly one of the underdog hits of 2001. One minor note: Much attention has been given to the fact that the movie definitely makes you think. I find this to be most wondeful and fantastic, but I do know many so-called film "fans" who hate films they actually have to use their brains on. So, just a warning, "K-Pax" may not be your cup of tea if you don't like movies that make you think, or you don't like movies that don't have "concrete" endings that wrap the film up, all neat and tidy.

Summary: A Good Rental
Review: This movie was ok.Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges are good together, as a doctor, and a mental patient who says he is an alien. This is the story of them Jeff Bridges' character trying to find out if Kevin Spacey's character is really an alien.
Some scenes are entertaining, some are way too stretched out, and some are just plain boring. All in all, this is an ok movie.If you like Kevin Spacey or Jeff Bridges, go and rent this movie, dont buy it.
