It is simply moving forward as a deep journey into an unknown person's life was he declared as an alien (not like the one who cut somebody's chest) but a non-human entity appeared as a human. He is like an artificial man in context and his strange behavior and approach gears Mr. Powell to engage in his work more seriously. He is with Prot all the time and want to know more about him. That's why he gone for a hypnotic process. But what we can find out through as a whole is the connection and the interchange between the doctor and the patient. A man, who knows nothing about family, nothing about missing someone advises another man to be with the family. When it comes to Prot's life, we are still confused about his character as a whole. What we gained at the beginning about Prot suddenly marks a twist and another shape of him named Robert appears to us. That is the delusional structure created by both the director and the writer at the end. Anyway, I'm not going to list this film as a sci-fi product rather I want to see it as a pure dramatic, family, emotional one.… Expand

Good movie overall about a man who thinks he is an alien. The entire movie is about trying to figure out if he is nuts or really an alien.

The entire movie is about trying to figure out if he is nuts or really an alien. I wont give anything away for people who have not seen it, but it is a good movie and the lingering question keeps you interested all the way to the end. Kevin Spacey did a great job and the movie was overall well above average to me (5 being average on sites with lots of reviews). Its not as good as The Man from Earth, which had a similar plot but better dialog, but it was still a fun movie to watch.… Expand

They spend a few moments and a short distance, he finds himself in front of the figure of a man of singular. E 'Prot (Kevin Spacey) who, quietly and starts to move small steps going towards him. Simultaneously an 'old woman victim of assault, falls to the ground. "The man came out of nothing" comes to her to help her up, spoke to the police. Immediately cleared of the charge of assault victim who is scared by Freddy from 'However, little persuasive answers to the police officer who asks for information about its origin.

After a month, Further in this institute asked the expert to be dot. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges), why? Why all the investigations, have failed because of Thorazine 300 mg daily for 3 weeks did not elicit any reaction. How is this possible? Who is this man really, what is its mission, meaning that they take the notes, because since joining the institute in all other patients there is a positive evolution of their disease? And yet, Prot astronomical knowledge outside of the town, talk of energy efficient configurations, classifies the planet Earth a class BA-3 early stage of evolution, the future uncertain. The tests carried out was also sensitive to white light, can perceive up to a wavelength of 300/400 Armstrong, ultraviolet rays. Dr. Mark initially intrigued, then "taken" totally from this patient who claims to come from a planet called K-Pax belonging to the constellation of Lyra. Can that be true?

The dot. Mark is at a crossroads. Want to let go as the manager of the Dr. Claudia Villars (Alfre Voodard) transferring the patient to another department or speak with regressive hypnosis?

It was an okay movie. There is a lot of suspense definitely and you keep wondering about how things are gong to turn out. I always like movies that capture our sense of wonder and imagination. Overall a nice movie.

This movie is the best I've seen in a while. It really made me THINK, instead of all those horrible action/car/romance movies that's just full of stereotypical bull crap. I loved this work of art, and no review can take that away from me.

So many little things that you can look back on and make a case for Spacey being from Kpax, while the overwhelming psychological evidence points squarely at multiple personality disorder.
