Touches You

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Cem Yilmaz is a talented comedian and a good filmmaker. He is also a good businessman. He makes two kinds of movies: Good ones, and bad ones to finance the good ones. A.R.O.G. is a bad one. Much like its predecessor, G.O.R.A., it uses the decades-old parody styles of Mel Brooks and Zucker-Abrams-Zucker. With such movies, Cem Yilmaz captures larger, easily-satisfied crowds - swindle them out of their money (they would eventually spend that excess money on some other crap they won't need anyways), and put those resources into good use: making a real good movie such as 'Hokkabaz' or 'Hersey Cok Guzel Olacak'...Although I was one of the suckers who paid a few bucks for this no-good, boring, longer-than-necessary, unoriginal, extravagantly expensive eye- candy - I do not feel too bad with the hope that Cem Yilmaz will make a movie worth praise in a couple years from now, and I will feel somewhat proud to be one of the millions of producers of that flick.So, to summarize: If you are tired of dragging that thick wallet of yours and looking for a place to spend money just for fun... Just go give the money directly to Cem Yilmaz and do not watch the movie anyways. There are many attractions that are cheaper and more fun... Say, stay home tonight, clip your nails... give yourself electric shocks, or something... whatever.

A Fantastic comedy film especially for Turkish audience.It contains jokes that only Turkish people can understand. There are a lot of specific jokes which is only funny for Turkish people Not a good film for the people who doesn't know Turkish people,life, news, adverts and that. Not better than G.O.R.A. but it is still very good. Some people say that it has a weak structure. But who cares? It makes you laugh and this is the point. I think it could be better but i cant say that it is a disappointment. Visual effects are excellent if we compare it with another Turkish movie. I recommend that every Cem Yilmaz fan must see this movie.

A.R.O.G is the second movie of the successful Turkish comedy G.O.R.A. Director, writer and actor Cem Yilmaz created an excellent movie again. Movie's universal language easily caught all the watchers wherever he/she is from. A.R.O.G. is an successful example of modern Turkish comedy. A.R.O.G. is about a tricky Turkish man (Arif) that goes back in time for a million years and there he met with the Stone age people. Also Arif is a very caricature character it is really funny and feels real most of the movie. A.R.O.G is not a ZAZ kind of movie but we can find lots of movie references to Space Oddsey 2001, Apocalyptica, Jurrasic Park or Time Machine… Like Stephen Chow made for Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Street, Cem Yilmaz made the same affect in Turkish cinema in G.O.R.A and A.R.O.G, not same success in special effects but seems satisfying and good enough. Definitely as a Stone Age thematic movie, it is far better then the RRRrrr!!! (it was a big disappointment…)

First of all I'am a huge fan of cem yilmaz, I adored his stand-up shows and the movies he played in. The first movie he made himself was G.O.R.A. He did play in it, write it and did the directing with Ömer Faruk Sorak(Vizontele). The movie was about Turks in space, it was a very good movie, the jokes were hilarious and I gave it a 10. Now he made the sequel A.G.O.R. with another director Ali Taner Baltaci which was a co-assistant at vizontele. The sequel is this time about Turks in the pre-historic time. The movie wasn't what I expacted at all. The effect were lots of better than the first part, but the movie was boring and the jokes weren't funny expact 2 or 3 jokes. I really wonder why this movie was so bad was it because of Ali Taner Baltaci? or is Cem Yilmaz not so funny as he supposed to be?
