DVD Reviews of K-Pax
DVD Review: Added Knowledge of the Discoveries to yet to Come
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie showed me the mistake of assuming that what you see and hear, is all there is. How wonderful it would be if we had more doctors and therapists with the dedication and compassion of Dr. Powell (Michael Douglas). Stories like this show how vast and intricate the brain is and ...there is even more.
DVD Review: Intelligent film for Intelligent people
Summary: 4 Stars
While closely related to the book, there are differences. Spacey's performence although somewhat going over the top and leaving us questioning his sarcastic tone K-Pax still delivers a perfect triangle of Mystery, Acceptance and Love.
The film is long and requires full attention constantly. Most viewers who rate this film bad usually have a short attention span and no imagination. The ending is a mystery leaving it open for you the viewer to decide.
However...
If you want to decide the identity of Prot yourself do not read!
Prot, the curious and mysterious man claiming to be an Alien from a planet called K-Pax in the constilation Lyra is in fact what he says he is. An Extra Terrstrial able to travel across space and occupy the bodies of individuals elseware. Robert Porter the actual man who had been visited by Prot sees and commits an atroicious act that leaves him scarred for life, before jumping into the river he cried out to Prot for guidance. Unable to save Robert in time Prot travels from K-Pax to Earth to implant his conscience into Robert only Robert is no longer there. Having full control of Robert Porter Prot purposely leads himself to being committed to help "one" person as to make up for his trip to Earth in hopes of saving Robert.
Susequently when Prot leaves Robert Porter is left un responsive as this was the damage sustained by his crazed plunge the fateful night of his families murder.

DVD Review: Alternate alternate ending for K-Pax - deleted scenes - Prot is GONE
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm pretty sure that when I saw this in theaters, I saw the "deleted scenes" version where Prot DISAPPEARS at the end - FOR GOOD - body and all! There was NO shot of Prot under the bed and there was no "wheelchair ending" in the movie I saw in theaters. If you watch the deleted scenes, note the surveillance VCR scence and the scene where they are searching the basement of the hospital. That's what I saw in theaters! (This ending is NOT to be confused with the "alternate ending" feature on this DVD.) Did anyone else see the version I describe? Why would they do that? Please click on the "comment" button below. DVD Review: He calls himself Prot.
Summary: 5 Stars
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 him and are better off for the experience.
This leaves you with the question: "Is he a man, alien... or savior?

DVD Review: K-KRAP
Summary: 1 Stars
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. This movie was way too long, way too slow, too self-involved and overall just dull. Kevin Spacey has done some fantastic work (Seven; American Beauty; Usual Suspects) but this is isn't it. Also, someone said the ending was ambiguous. Not true. Prot is Robert Porter.
