Küçük Kiyamet

This movie has nothing you can expect. I adore specially the acting, and specifically Ilker Aksum's performance.

This movie is not about the earthquake, it is about death. Yagmur and Durul Brothers are very successful in Kucuk Kiyamet, they project the fears about death and being under wreckage so that it is impossible not to feel the destruction. The story reaches the end smoothly and every piece settles down at the final. The twist in the movie is under covered very successfully.

I also want to add that the directors never claim that Kucuk Kıyamet is a horror film. They say the opposite; it's a psychological film about death.

Başak Köklükaya' s performance is excellent. Cansel Elçin, İlker Aksum and Binnur Kaya are very very good too. All the actors must be proud for their performances, because they added so much to the film.

The art director made a great job too; the catalog "little apocalypse" and all the paintings were wonderful in addition to the general art directing.

Kevin Moore's soundtrack is astonishingly great and fit the mood of the movie. Taylan brothers are very lucky to have him. "Shine" is an excellent choice for the movie and we don't hear too much of it. Everything was in the appropriate dose and amount,there were no place for exaggeration.

This film must be a guideline for other producers and directors for making a perfect but very modest film which is interested only in telling a very good story in the best way they can. This film is even higher the standards of Hollywood films.

Definitely a " must be seen" ; especially the extras on DVD.

I don't understand why this movie gets negative comments, it's not a bad movie at all (it's not a very good movie either) anyway it doesn't deserve 1/10 imo. The visual effects was fine and i didn't notice a bad act however Ilker Aksum's act was great, for some reasons I have never like this actor (maybe coz of the characters he played) but in this movie he was like a pro.

I can clearly say that Kucuk Kiyamet worths your every penny but if you are a fan-boi of Mehmet Ali Erbil and his Co. and like the same stupid jokes from the same ppl don't go to this movie you have a lot of Mali options anyway.

I saw this movie years ago, when it was first released. It's a beautiful, haunting epic that has stayed with me all these years.

I had no idea what to expect when I walked into the theater, so I was taken on a roller-coaster ride that began with the mundane (a family setting out on a vacation), turned frightening and surreal (the nightmarish vacation by-the-sea), and ended on a disastrous, poignant note that made perfect sense.

I particularly like Yucel's delving into the subconscious (or perhaps unconscious) aspects of disaster and fear. The Taylans handled the material with grace and kept the plot moving in unexpected and delightful ways.

A really enjoyable experience that was the very essence of international cinema.

I watched Kucuk Kiyamet and without any doubt can recommend everybody to watch it.

When you watch it I suggest you to watch carefully in order not to miss hidden clues/codes in the script. This movie is not for average audience, since just looking at the screen is not sufficient to understand what is going on. Hence, if you are below average you may get bored. Plus, considering the fact that this movie is shut with a low budget compared to its American peers, it must be applauded for this purpose only, as well.

Have fun
