In KPAX, it is unclear whether an individual's subconscious is role playingor whether the universal consciousness is working something out. Thepsychological plight is both exhilarating and thought provoking. Prot(Kevin Spacey) is Buddha meets Dennis Miller (morally and intellectuallytranscended, but with an obvious lack of patience for the ignorant)! Dr.Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges) is your typical modern man who refuses to changeand refuses to understand that his narrow beliefs can be challenged ? ifnot altogether disproved.

Basically, the film was thoroughly confusing which, for atranscendentalist, is a good thing ? confusion denotes thought. The filmalso pokes fun at conventional psychiatry and the inclined inability totreat patients properly with any level of respect or humility. The KPAXmessage is the notion that what we have grown so accustomed to just mightnot be the only possibility. The film also points out that humans ignore,and nurture their ignorance, about anything outside of our fabricatedreality and existence. Instead, we create entire universes in our mindsand desperately try to prevent change or transcendence. KPAX is a filmworth watching, if for nothing else, to tap into thatintellectually-humanitarian message and try to incorporate a bit of its'extraterrestrialness' into our own lives.
