Average Rating: 
Rating: - Alternate ending for K-Pax
I'm pretty sure that when I saw this in theaters, I saw a more "open-ended" alternate ending. There was no "wheelchair ending" in the movie I saw. I think the alternate ending I saw is a feature of this DVD, but I am not 100% sure.
Rating:  - He calls himself Prot.
This has the essence of the book with the addition of time. The story is not unique and the subplots are not unique. However the execution is superb. Just the right people were picked for each character. The pacing was such that you had time to laugh, cry, and be shocked in the best proportions.
Basically Prot turns up out of nowhere; yet many things can be explained. Then again many things can not be explained. As the people that deal with him vacillate as to his nature, others accept ... Read More
Rating:  - K-KRAP
On the one hand, you've got the nuthouse dramas where the mental patient provides deep truths to inmates and staff alike (Don Juan DeMarco; Cuckoo's Nest). On the other hand, you've got the Taoist alien dispensing generic new-age advice (Starman). Trying to mix the two was a BIG mistake.

Also, someone said the ... Read More
Rating: - Is He Or Isn't He... That is the question... Or is it?
We've seen this film a number of times and enjoy it every time. It is filled with humor, misery, suspense, intrigue, science and a little bit of philosophy. K-Pax tries to get the viewer to expand his/her knowledge of the world around him/her by presenting the story of a man who appears one day in an airport and claims to be a visiting alien, named Prot (Kevin Spacey), from another star system on a mission to collect data.
People react intensely in favor or against him which both shocks ... Read More
Rating:  - strives for more than it can hold on to
The movie is interesting, clever, but ultimately unsatisfying.
It poses what appears to be a simple question: prot, the lead character, is either from the planet K-Pax or he is a crazy man pushed into madness by the brutal destruction of his wife and daughter, and his murder of their tormentor.
But it is not a simple question, not in an age of materialism and scientific evidence as the only valid form of knowledge. Going crazy, even if for a good reason, and getting into touch with ... Read More
