Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Haven't you watched the film K-PAX yet?! Oh, I should say that you've lost a lot. It is a brilliant film about the life out of the Earth. It is a fantastic story about an alien who came to our planet. Don't you want to know what happened to him next? Firstly, let's talk about actors : Kevin Spacey is Prot; Jeff Bridges is Dr.Mark; Mary McCorn is Rachel; Actors were chosen so good that film became popular among Americans and other part of world. Characters were played so well that even non-Americans would understand their motives. Once a person appeared at the train station, after the policemen caught him and brought to the Psychiatric Institute. There he called himself Prot. His doctor''s name was Dr. Powell. He started to understand his reasons of illness, but actually Prot hadn't got any problems. Prot claimed he is from K-PAX! It's far planet with two suns. And most of patients and Dr.Powell started to believe him. After that doctor decided to start an investigation, He understood Prot's truth. He had a real name and surname, his family on Earth was killed. But Dr. Powell didn't understand Prot is real person or not. Probably, he is a alien or he is a crazy man without family? We think this film is 50/50, because it has boring moments, not cool special effects. But it has got a good idea.No fight moments. There are many dialogues,which are not interesting for children. Pluses: philosophy part, very good actors play, interesting plot, a lot of ideas to think about it!!! Minuses: sometimes imposing of unhealthy lifestyle, not clear final Kinopoisk 8/10; irecommend 4,9/5 There are two possible explanations: 1) Prot is crazy 2) he is truly an alien. It's a great idea to create extraordinary ending, so the viewers may dream future events by themselves

Mind blowing and perfect. I became a Kevin spacey fan with in the first five minutes of the movie. keep you engaged from the beginning to the end. I think this is the only movie that used Kevin spacey's potentials. I think Kevin spacey deserved Oscars for this. Best story telling and unbelievable character absorption

I must have been in an emotional state when I saw this movie for the first time as I found myself crying throughout! I quite enjoyed the interplay between the Jeff Bridges character and the Kevin Spacey character but they were just as good apart. The impact upon seeing the sprinkler in the back of the ruin of a house laying in the long untended yard near the ruined swing set was an emotional jolt that I'll never forget and every sorrowful drama in my life came to the fore like a fountain that to this day resonates deep in my soul. It was a powerful movie, beautifully acted and directed and I encourage all to see it (unless of course you're more inclined to zombies, and horror films) but I assure even those types that the horror suggested by this movie is far more powerful, far more compelling!

I've always admired Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges is naturally respected. I didn't really know what to expect; was it similar to The Truman show where it seems like it should be really good but I don't know how I feel. The writing is intelligent in that many lines in intense moments make sense and is sometimes so much to take in that it's shocking. However there are other times where the dialogue seems to be too much creating an overstatement on the dramatic effect. This movie seems to have two types of scenes: Dramatic and over dramatic. I also felt like at the beginning, I had to decide if he was or was not really from this planet he says he is from. The good scenes outweigh the bad and all in all I still believe its a film of merit when looking at both Spacey and Bridges' filmography.
