Wolf 2039

It's obvious that Börü 2039 made professionally, but mentally it's amateur. Of course this fact comes with pros and cons.

First of all, director is giving his best...Actually, "best" isn't the correct word. More like he is giving all of his life experience.

Because of this watching Börü 2039 is extremely intense. You are always in a dialogue with the director between the lines. In one scene he says "Read that book, you will see it's benefits" and on another "Do you see how she talks? A president should be like that.". In short, it's not an entertainment product (And this is a big problem.).

This "dialogue intensity" continues for 1 hour.

You will use pause button a lot.

This mentality is obviously wrong for filmmaking, but ironically it's also exactly what Turkish industry needs. Almost all the dramas using a certain formula in Turkey. Most of the times I'm able to tell scenario just looking by a short scene. They are reminding me mainstream AAA video games, looking big and fancy, but empty inside.

Börü 2039 is vice versa. It's %100 a text-based game with good story.

It needs a better teaser, catchy soundtracks and more screentime to explain what is going on... I'm saying Börü 2039 is strong at the core; if you spend your time for it, it's rewarding you. You begin to see real life gunfight tactics, Asimov books and Dune references (director says "begin from the classics, Turkish youth!"), notrino particles to explain time machines etc.

Lastly: Some scenes are superb, some scenes are not. Because the staff is just trying to do their best, there is no standard. You can see this as a plus ("Amateur spirit, boy!") or a minus (Not professional, dude.") , it's up to you.

A suggestion: Find a Turkish sci-fi nerd, watch this with the nerd or ask him questions after watching alone. Probably he will tell interesting facts.

7/10

You might want to follow Alper Çaglar. He is the first Turkish director trying to do a sci-fi. Imagine what we'll be watching 10 years from now if the world's second largest TV country learns to do sci-fi. (;

At this review I will not give a rating for anything else except acting. Reason is Börü 2039 trying something never done before in Turkey. CGI and VFX could be low against what we used to watch (Hollywood generally) and in my opinion its a pretty acceptable situation in this case. I do not even care about costume design since its part of the many things tried first time. However, acting was the only part that Börü 2039 should accomplish and clearly poor choosing of actors like pretty face instagram models couldn't help at all.

We had never seen action and sci-fi genre productions in Turkey before. The actors could have been chosen better. The script could have been written much better. And of course there are some logic errors. But considering this is a first, that's nice. I hope it will be a very good production with a little more support..

The visual effects are owned by Dreamlife Studios. It is a completely Turkish Company. Despite the fact that there is a lack of time to develop the series before the New Year, they have done good work. I wish you continued success in Dreamlife...

The only missing dubbing and dialogs I saw in the series were. I think that in other seasons these shortcomings will be corrected.

According to Turkish conditions, it is one of the productions that we can call mediocre in order to keep it well and globally. It is not clear what happens in the first episode, what is the story, who is doing what and why. It was taken to show how we made an effect. There is no pattern acting in the actors, it was a forced series.
