Movie Reviews of K-Pax (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Believe
Summary: 5 Stars
How much are you willing to believe? are you a supersticious person? or a realistic person? this movie answers it all. With an outstanding performance by Academy-award winner Kevin Spacey, this movie is out of this world. The story is about a guy who claims to be from another planet. Is it true or not? watch this thrilling movie and be amazed.An element worth mentioning and probably the first thing that would grab your attention is the music. New-age mixed with techno with a frame of classic music is presented by composer Edward Shearmur to carry you through this mystical journey. It's the kind of movie that makes you run to the book store and buy the book then make a quick run to the music store and buy the soundtrack and then log on to ebay and try to find memoribilia.i.e. it is highly addictive, a must have for anyone who loves new ideas, needs to put his life in perspective or simply somebody who hates starwars! Buy it and you won't regret it :)
Movie Review: Truly unique movie with outstanding acting and photography
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this film as part of an in-flight entertainment and was immediately captivated by it. Outstanding acting by giants Spacey and Bridges combine with an intelligent script and masterful photography (cinematographer John Mathieson also worked on "Hannibal" and "Gladiator") to create a unique piece of art that refuses to be easily categorized into any genre.It offers a thought-provoking insight into modern society and the human condition in general.
The DVD is con-genial with a reference-quality image and excellent, if somewhat subtle, sound.
The black-and-white "making of" photographs by Jeff Brigdes himself, found in a little gallery in the "special features" section, are truly remarkable. Too bad there are only a handful on display.
Watch the end credits all the way for a neat little "dessert" afterwards :-)
Movie Review: I want to go to K-Pax!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, there were two movies on the cruise ship that we could not watch enough of. K-Pax was one of them. This movie draws you in from the very beginning. It starts out with with a mugging in a subway, and when the cops get there Kevin Spacey is interogated about what went on. He tells the cops his name is port and he is not from here. Port is then committed to a sanitarium and placed under the car of a doctor who is played by Jeff Bridges. No one believes that Port is from another planet until he starts expaining things about the universe that no one knew. Is Port from the planet K-Pax like he says? Thats for you to figure out. The ending of this movie was breath taking and very surprising. The build up to the ending leaves you hanging on every second of this movie. This is a great addition to anyones DVD collection.Movie Review: Great Sci-Fi... or is it?
Summary: 5 Stars
In a year with somewhat meager sci-fi offerings one movie broke free from the pack by avoiding science fiction techniques almost entirely. "K-PAX," based on the novel by Gene Brewer, Academy Award Winner Kevin Spacey ("American Beauty") stars as prot, a mental patient who believes himself to be an alien from the planet K-PAX. Jeff Bridges does a great turn as prot's psychiatrist, proving his diversity as an actor -- although just as good as he was in "The Big Lebowski," the characters are worlds apart.The film has very little in the way of the fantastic, yet still conveys an incredible sense of majesty that movies these days simply don't have, and it does it in a fashion bizarre enough that, combined with the premise, brands this movie as light sci-fi, although calling it "light" is to do it a disservice.
Movie Review: Solid Modern No Frills Sci-Fi
Summary: 5 Stars
I find many people didn't reach the same conclusion I did. I don't think I'm giving anything away if I say Walk-In... Look it up if your unfamiliar with the term (it's about E.T. "trading places") With this in mind it didn't let me down or become wishy-washy at the end of the movie dismissing the whole back story as hogwash or remote... However it doen't have an air-tight finish either. I find many people have different views on what the ending meant. That's cool... I loved it, great Moive, and Spacey was perfect for the role, (as he tends to be in all parts he plays). Bridges works very well in his role as well as the Shrink that has the job of finding out if this guy's For real!!! This it the adult version of E.T. Phone Home...
