the leads were very good, but the story line lacked cohesiveness. there were times i was on the edge of my seat and then would lose interest as the story would go off on a tangent. the supporting cast did a fine job. plus the value of family expressed in this off the wall sci-fi flick was refreshing. i would give this movie one half star more...its worth watching but is overall slow moving untill the end.

I liked K-PAX. There is a view of life and the universe expressed at the ending that I don't agree with, but the movie is both thoughtful and thought provoking. To me it's a movie you have to see at least twice. I enjoyed the questions the movie raised. Is the main character insane, or is he just being guided to the care he needs by an empathetic co-habitating alien intelligence that can travel on a beam of light? The movie doesn't answer all the questions it poses, so it leaves your imagination some room to exercise. I liked the overall optimistic view of life, even though life can inflict terrible pain upon some, and requires some suffering of all of us.

For Science Fiction fans, remember how you felt after seeing Phenomenon and this will be the same. I did like this movie but it didn't go the way I wanted it to. I do think Kevin Spacey gives an Academy Award-winning performance! I got to pick the movie and now after reading the reviews, I wish I would have picked Monsters, Inc. Oh, well, that's life, isn't it?
