It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

G.O.R.A. is the funniest movie ever!!First of all do not think that "should i watch this movie?" just watch it. It is the one of the best Turkish movies ever.This movie has the best, tech in 2004 in Turkey. The humor in this movie contains a lot of Turkish jokes.I watched this movie like hundred times. And i will watch this movie again and again and again. Cem Yılmaz made a great movie. He is absolutely brilliant man. The scenario, costumes, characters everything is great.You have to watch this movie!!

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."

Gora is nothing more than a mediocre spoof on popular SciFi-classics as The Matrix, Star Wars and Star Trek. Sometimes funny, most of the times irritating, unfunny, boring and flat. This movie doesn't deserve a 7.4, I'd personally give it a 6 ( and than I'm still being nice...) You know, I just can't understand that there are so much people around here that seem to find Gora so incredibly funny. Sure, it has its moments, like the little man that is neglected throughout the entire movie or the machine blowing wind in Matrix-style, but most of the time the humour is so immature and simple. And what's with all those old fashioned gay-jokes!? It must be years ago that a Western comedy made jokes about gay's just because they are gay...Watch the trailer, than you won't have to see the movie itself. It isn't worth your time, though it isn't that bad...:)

This movie takes one of the best abilities of us, the Turkish folk: To be able to make fun of things (especially in difficult situations), and puts it on the screen. Although most of the jokes are local, I'd love to see how a foreigner would react to the movie. The Turkish reaction is obvious: Many, many laughs.It is hard to comment on a comedy movie's plot, but I can say that G.O.R.A.'s is at least as "meaningful", or as good as The Matrix' or Star Trek's.And special effects deserve a single word: "Stunning!" Until now, Turkish sci-fi movies had been known for their special effects, or more specifically, their lack thereof. However, G.O.R.A. seems to have made the turning point in the Turkish movie industry. Watch it to see "what we (as in 'the Turkish folk') can do", if not for the hours of fun you are bound to have.
