Hilarious!

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.

Trivia
The name of the spaceship that Garavel presents Arif with is "KA-FA 1500". "Kafa 1500", meaning "Head 1500" is a Turkish slang term for "high" as in "high on drugs."

Goofs
The number that Arif dials in jail on the ship doesn't match to the number that appears on the LCD screen, since there were a change in the main sponsors of the film. Both sponsors were GSM Operators. But at the filming sequence Telsim was the sponsor, however at the post production sequence it was Avea.

Quotes
Arif: Would you mind if I turned on on the music?
Old Villager: What kind of music? I don't listen to foreign music. How can I be sure that ain't swearing at my mother?
Arif: How old is your mother?
Old Villager: She is still alive, 93 by now.
Arif: Don't worry, old timer, this band is new. They don't know about your mother.
Band singing: Motherfucker! Yeah, Yo, Motherfucker!
