Movie Reviews of K-Pax (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Great film. Sort of E.T for adults
Summary: 5 Stars
K-Pax is wonderful movie with great acting from Jeff Bridges and of course, Kevin Spacey. To describe what the movie is about, I think it is best to consider this as an adult version of E.T. Jeff Bridges play a psychiatrist who has to determine whether a patient (Kevin Spacey) is really an alien from planet K-Pax or just a man with traumatic past. Both actors kept the audience thinking and guessing what will happen next but at the same it keeps you entertain as well. The DVD itself is quite nice. Loaded with usual features (behind the scenes, director's commentary) and nice picture and sound quality. The Digital surround sound (both Dolby and DTS) provide nice ambience and the picture is sharp and clear. Highly recommended DVD.
Movie Review: Outstanding! - And Nice
Summary: 5 Stars
The creative staff for this film deserve a gold wreath and the two stars, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges, the Gold Wreath with clusters, for a fine film with that very nice feel to it that rarely verges on the maudlin. One need apply no logic of science principles to the reality of the film. The reality of the film is the romance of fiction. In fiction, anything can be real, if it is made to seem so, anything can be unreal if it meets the same criterion. In this film, both alternatives as to the identity of the k-paxian are made to seem equally really thus equally acceptable. The two stars are superb, the supporting players do their job well. Recommended for everyone who can use a little escape in his or her life.Movie Review: Ignore the bad reviews, this is fantastic stuff.
Summary: 5 Stars
It might, as the critics called it, seem like a tried and tested plot on first glance: guy comes to earth claiming to be an alien. But if you actually WATCH the film you'll see it's much more than that. Spacey and Bridges are two of the finest actors of our generation and they ensure that this film is more than a stupid cliche. Instead it is a journey of self-discovery looking at the lead character's motivation for creating the character Prot, without completely dismissing the possibility of the other planet situation. In the end it helps Bridges to live his own life in a better way, and the film inspires and moves as you see the tragedy which ruined Spacey's life. Top stuff.Movie Review: Thought provoking and good story telling
Summary: 5 Stars
K-PAX is in the elite class of movies that combines a good story with thought provoking ideas.
The movie hinges on the ambiguity of "Prot" as either an alien or simply deranged. Although the ambiguity diminishes as the story unfolds, we are never entirely sure about "Prot": his ability to sketch the orbit of his home planet, the disappearance of his fellow space traveller, and other enticing aspects of the character remain unresolved to the end. Regardless of our take on Prot as an alien, the movie is a testament to the ability of the imagination to transcend the most trying of circumstances, and also to the very tangible and positive effects of our beliefs.
Movie Review: Mesmerizing
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
