SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This movie is garbage. I thought i found a nice entertaining comedy from across the world based on the IMDb rating it has, but I was wrong.This so called comedy is full of obvious childish jokes disguised as "parodies" and predictable punchlines and situations, you may think the humor didn't translate well because I'm not from Turkey, but I don't think that's it.Granted this is the first Turk movie I ever watched, but humor can be a universal thing, and comedy is capable of breaking cultural barriers, but this is not comedy, this is just a foolish attempt to make a movie out of a bunch of ideas for "funny sketches", but the jokes are obvious, they felt outdated and worst of all simple, like the kind of jokes a child will tell you, just one step away from "Why did the chicken cross the road?".The worst part is that there is a sequel,but the only way I would ever watch that (or this movie EVER AGAIN) is if I was forced in a "Clockwork Orange" fashion strapped to chair. Movies like this shouldn't exist.

Turkish comedian Cem Yılmaz ("Her Şey Çok Güzel Olacak" & "Vizontele") and director Ömer Faruk Sorak ("Asansor" & "Vizontele") re-unite to spin-out a sketch from the former's "Bir Tat Bir Doku" stand-up show into a record-breaking Turkish box office hit.Turkish tour guide and carpet salesman Arif (Cem Yılmaz) is abducted by the evil Commander Logar (Cem Yılmaz) and taken to Gora where he is chosen by the mysterious Garavel (Özkan Ugur) to rescue Princess Ceku (Özge Özberk) in an uninspired comedy set-up.Cem Yılmaz puts in a rather insipid performance as the stereotypical Turkish every-man Arif but comes alive in his brilliant turn as Commander Logar with solid support coming from the likes of Özkan Ugur, Rasim Oztekin, Ozan Guven and the gorgeous Özge Özberk.The film-makers' three year struggle with budget and technical problems paid-off with a convincingly realised sci-fi movie pastiche that acts as a magnificent backdrop for a tired series of parodies and gags that are more well-worn than one of Arif's carpets."I learnt to look at life from a different angle."

The movie has great sense of humor! The actors are really understanding the Director's idea. I am happy for the making of one such vital movie. I spoke with a lot of people from Sofia, and they really appreciate the appearance of G.O.R.A. movie. I don't know if someone has decided to manage this movie outside Turkey, but I am sure, it will be successful in all parts of the world, where people have not lost their sense of humor. I would like to say, that everyone, who likes the fantasy genre, should/has to/must:) watch this movie. It makes a new reading in the idea of fantasy films. The serious situations are mixed with a lot of jokes, which I enjoyed a lot. The story is intriguing, the characters are realistic and original. This movie is counterpoint of all movies, which are made too seriously without the necessary depth/reason, which we are able to find in many funny movies. In G.O.R.A. movie we are able to find enough human sense and wits. The relation with the Matrix and other fantasy movies is made with easiness and only in service of the screenplay. The main idea is original. I hope that this is the way of the funny fantasy movies to develop in the future. The real life is not so funny and this sort of movies make people laugh for near 2 hours and forgot the daily issues. I would like to send my sincere greetings to the G.O.R.A team, and wish them other successful movies.

in my opinion, this movie related "a dream" of Cem Yilmaz is that about Yilmaz's most popular talk show subject "the turks on the space". if you imagine that, it is a conflict and funny. because of that, lot's of different culture live together at the same place. And lot's of people has the the lot's of cultural differentiations. lot's of people can't understand the this amazing film around the world because of this situation like the local jokes and personal imaginations. (something like smoking the cigarettes in a spaceship on the space, it's means that, "turks can do it" so, this was a local joke) but, I can give a guarantee about film, it's really very funny! ONLY WATCH IT, don't try to understand everything!
