The movie K-Pax, could someone give as many examples possible of how you could have seen the film differently?

I think the only viable outcome is that Prot really was from K-Pax

I swear, that movie did more harm than good. Here's my take on things... very briefly.\n\nThe flash freezing you see in the movie... physically impossible.\nThe giant, planet-sized storm... nope.\n\nHere's reality:\nMore carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere = higher surface temperatures\nHigher temperatures = less ice and snow, expansion of water in the oceans, more water vapor in the air\nMore water vapor in the air = more greenhouse effect = higher temperatures\nLess ice and snow = less reflection of sunlight (and higher temperatures), more water in the oceans\nMore water in the oceans = Oceans less salty = slowdown of deep ocean currents\n\nAll of these could lead to dramatic changes in weather patterns that would be very hard (and expensive) to adapt to... and that's really the worry. And once you change the climate, it would be very hard to change it back the way it was. And the whole thing is so complex that it's hard to tell exactly what the final results of the meddling might be.

I did see it and it was cute.  Like you, I don't see many movies because they are too expensive, but we took our kids to see it.  While it was 'animated' the storyline was not geared (HAHA!) toward kids.  \n\nMy suggestion...wait for the video.

Bradley P - that is one super answer!\n\nI put comics down for a while and started reading again. Suddenly I was hit with this post/pre/continuity stuff. Since I prefer to read in whatever order suits my mood - I dismissed the research as it would have gotten in the way anyway. Thanks for the summary.\n- - -\nI actually thought the new Superman was ok. Bullet in the eye was cool. Lifting small Island composed of Kryptonite - not bad.. Him getting beat up on the kryptonite island was similar to when the old superman gets beat up in the diner (in front of the old Lois).\n\nI just really disliked the plot. He comes back, DC's love story of the ages is shot to hell because Lois is with another guy (classy...) - plus he has a kid whose life he may never be a part of (very nice). Now you add Luthor as the villian again (I'm tired of this guy already), throw in tired old kryptonite because they couldn't come up with anything else (not a little, a whole continent this time). Sigh...\n\nI say both these supermen should get together and smash the people responsible for putting this film together. After they are done, then they could fight eachother:-)\n\nThe Old Superman wins..

Throught most of the movie these two characters seem very different, however, towards the end it is revealed that they more similar than they would like to admit.  \nKat seems to be anti-social and full of angst.  However, throught the movie we learn that alot of this is due to the burdon of being a constant example for her younger sis, and hiding the secret about her past relationship with Joey.  In the end, we see Kat as someone who can open her heart, can learn to love, and is capable of taking care of herself and those around her.\nBianca seems to be a typical "popular kid" who is only worried about her lipgloss and the latest fashions.  In the end we learn that she is not as superficial as she might like to think, and that she also doesn't care what people think about her.\nWow, I so thought I would come up with something better than that!  Sorry!  But I love the movie!

movies are different from reality.

as with most deviation from the original material,  It upset me at first, but it grows on you and makes some kind of sense in hindsight. \n\nThe true test however is where the franchise goes with him in  the film(s) that follow(s).

I thought that the little girl dragged down the action.  At one point, the aliens catch her, and I thought "Oh Boy! Now we can get some action going on here without her stupid short legs making it impossible for them to run fast!" but ten seconds later, Cruise was caught as well. \n\nI will say that it was cooler than the original, as far as effects and things like that are concerned.

I bought for me and 4 friends. They bought the popcorn and soda. I was the only one who read the book first. It was so good I had to see the movie. I wasn't disappointed. Everyone loved the movie. \n\nThe movie was very close to the book, but the reading the book first is a good idea, because it's a complicated mystery and requires you to think a bit. \n\nI'd say the professional movie critics didn't like it because it was a cerebral, intellectual movie as opposed to a slam-bang, shoot 'em up, fireworks and explosions, SFX kind of movie. It isn't a WOW! LOOK AT THAT! kind of movie, but it is definitely a WOW! \n\nThe dialogue definitely stabs the Catholic Church right between the eyes and this is another reason why many people have a problem with it.\n\nEnjoy the mystery, the chase, the plot and the shocking surprises, one right after another. I would definitely pay to see it again, but only for the purpose of entertaining a friend who hasn't seen it.

The most disturbing movie I ever saw was a movie called Johnny Got His Gun.  It was an anti-war move about a farm boy who joint the army and went to war.  He stepped on a landmine and lost both legs and both arms along with most of his face.  The story mostly takes place after the accident.  Doctors keep him alive (believing he is in a vegetative state) to test the affects of drugs on his body.  All of the movie is disturbing but the two scenes that will stay with me forever are one where Johnny come to the realization of his situation one grueling limb at a time.  the other is when Johnny remembering having learned  morris code in the boy scouts begins beating out a message with his head.  At first the doctors think his is having a seizure but one recognizes the SOS code.  Taping on Johnny's chest they come to the horrific realization he has been cognitive all along.  After a brief exchange the doctor who was using the morris code stands up an advises the other doctors that he is only repeating one ting now, what is it one of them asks...kill me.

It may have been more memorable because everyone watching the film would have gone, "HUH? What the..."\n\nLOL I love your questions.

None. The movie was a travesty. A true classic cannot be re-made.

There's a movie and a book that someone put out called FARENHYPE911 and that is supposed to specifically address the alegations. I think most of them ended up being misconstrued, misrepresented or exaggerated.

Actually, I was wondering that too. It's pretty unclear. Sometimes he gets sick and the other time the same thing makes him stronger. That place in the plot was weird. I guess the movie relied too much on special effects and action and didn't pay enough attention to the plot.

Finally!  I've been waiting for this question-the nerd that I am.\n\nOk, I would have given wolverine some of his memories and martial arts abilities.  It's about time he started acting more like Weapon-X.\n\nI would have made Phoenix more like the comic.  I thought this was Carrie 3, not X-men 3.  She should have been able to kill everyone with a thought.  She would never, ever have killed Scott-Cyclops.  And, Wolverine would pose no threat to her in any way.  \n\nAngel would have been ArchAngel.  He looked so lame in the movie and his appearance meant nothing.\n\nLast, and most important:  What should have happened.\n\nRogue should not have had her powers removed.  She should worked on her powers and absorbed all the X-men's abilities, Magneto's and anyone elses she could get ahold of.  Then, there should have been a monumental fight between her and Phoenix.  I'm talking about destroying half the Earth kind of fight.  Of course, Phoenix would win.  But, she would set everything right, and probably take off into outerspace afterward.  She's too powerful to be on this planet fighting  we insects. She was suppose to be as far above Magneto as he is above a squirrel with a limb.

Yes, that movie does a great job of showing what life might be like without immigrants (legal or illegal).  It's such complex issue, and people keep trying to boil it down to simple right vs. wrong.  As in many situations, right vs. wrong depends on what side you're on.
