Highly Overrated But Still Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Without a doubt this film is the funniest Turkish film ever made. I wish you guys knew Turkish so you could understand the funniest scenes like Turist Omer breaking down the main computer by asking him silly questions, or getting on Spock's nerves. Many people think this is like "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam (aka Turkish Star Wars)" but it's not. Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam was also OK but it was a ripoff and not intended to be a comedy. "Turist Omer Uzay Yolunda (Turkish Star Trek)" on the other hand is asking the question "what if a Turk was among the crew of Star Trek". Another great thing about the movie is, especially Captain Kirk and Mr Spock look and act exactly like in the TV series, not a single exaggeration. Love this movie. It's the funniest Turkish movie ever made, and Sadri Alisik is the funniest Turkish actor ever lived.

This movie is a masterpiece among Turkish movies in the sense that it may be the first example of making fun of another movie or TV show. Foreigners will probably not understand that the movie solely intents to make you laugh, and that Turist Omer(Alisik) makes fun of and teases all that legendary Star Trek characters.Sadri Alisik is a true legend in Turkey, not a dirty looking 'Muslim' guy, who has great talent, not only in physical comedy but also verbally. The movie has no 'religious' motives, Omer's transfer to Enterprise is a coincidence which we can see any movie, anyway God won't be any peculiar in a science-fiction, either. opening hands and praying to God is gesture in Turkey which has no religious meaning. As it can be anticipated, you must be a Turk or good Turkish speaker to understand the simple but powerful humor in this movie. Insulting a dead legend and millions of people due to trendy "Islamfobia" and poor understanding is not fair. Here, I am saying that if you do not speak Turkish or have a Turkish friend to assist you through the movie, do not watch it, otherwise you will fall in the pit in which "one of the North American comments" is, the pit of prejudice..Late Note: It is true that there are stolen scenes in the movie, then SUE the dead man. What could they do to show a spaceship in space? And do not forget that the movie is a free advertisement of the TV-series..

Most people describe this movie as a cheap Star Trek clone with a Turkish guy in it. Actually, Omer is the protagonist here so it's not a Star Trek movie. It's a Turist Omer movie in Star Trek setting. And like all of the Turist Omer movies, Sadri Alisik is the only thing good about it. He was an extremely talented actor. Maybe he was even better than most of his contemporaries in Hollywood. But remember,he was born in Turkey, therefore never had the chance to do what his Western comrades did. Yes, it's not a very good movie but blaming Sadri Alisik for that is just unfair. Producers knew anything with Sadri Alisik in it would make money, so the writing is extremely weak. Incredibly time and culture specific jokes do not help, either. Not for foreign audience at all. Unless you love Star Trek and have to see everything related to it.

This Turkish movie is the first motion picture on StarTrek. Although the story is the same as the classic "man-trap" episode, film inserts a Turkish man "aka. Turist Omer" into the story. Turist Omer is a funny poor Turkish guy wýthout a job and wýth a unique Turkish way of seeing things. His thoughts about the startrek universe makes a Turk (like me) have a lot of fun (eg. he warns Spock about the police control while Spock talks about the speed of the Enterprize). Unfortunately all jokes are Turkish type and very hard for a foreigner to have much fun as Turks did. However it is the most funniest movie a have ever watch and a must see for a Turkish movie fun.
