It was a nightmare but a comedy film. Mehmet Ali Erbil continued his mission to destroy Turkish cinema and he is very successful.

First of all the script is not original. It is copied from Cem Yılmaz's stand up shows. None of the artists done their job, they were awful. Cüneyt Arkın, made himself disgraced. This movie was a shame for Turkish cinema and should not be watched. Whatever you do in 110 minutes, would be more useful than you spend to watch this piece of trash.

The director (Kartal Tibet) should not feel comfortable after this movie. Nobody can erase these awful scenes from my mind.

I gave one point for this movie because there was no zero.

I hope Mehmet Ali Erbil would not act on a film again.

Every major cult film fan has watched "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam" (Man who saves the world) aka Turkish Star Wars. Quarter a century after that was released ,we get a sequel -"Dunyayi Kurtaran Adamin oglu" (Son of the man who saves the world). While the original was meant to be a serious science fiction adventure, this one attempts to be a parody of the old film and various other science fiction films in the vein of G.O.R.A. Needless to say, the result is cinematic sewage.

The film is a basically a serious of gags , none of which are close to being remotely funny. The acting is even worse. Erbil has already sealed his spot in the acting hall of shame with the lame shrek-wannabe Keloglan (he was even worse than Petek Dincoz, which should tell you how amazingly bad he was). Cuneyt Arkin seems to be sleepwalking. Sinem Kobal who is one of the most promising young Turkish actresses working today, would want to erase this off her resume for her career's sake.

The sad news is that this film actually did well at the box office, so we will soon be hit with the inevitable sequel. Let's hope that it completely flops so that the public is spared from another 2 hours of garbage.

For Keloglan Kara Prens'e Karsi, I thought that, this movie is the worst movie ever made and in my whole life, I won't be able to see another one this bad. But now I understand, I was totally wrong. "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adamin Oglu" is much more successful in being a bad movie than Keloglan Kara Prens'e Karsi. Now I think, as long as the Turkish film producers continue to make movies, I'll continue to see unbelievably bad movies. The money, which I gave for this film was not much, but I feel sorry for my 2 hours spent for nothing. Yes, this movie is nothing. Please take my recommendation: Even if someone gives you money to watch this movie, don't even think about it. I can tell you numerous reasons about why I like a movie. But for this one, there's simply nothing to say. It was supposed to be a comedy film, but I didn't even smile!! Come on guys, is the script writer an 8 year old boy or what? What were you thinking? The original cult film "The man who saves the world" was also a bad movie but at least it was funny, not boring. There were scenes, which one wants to see. But for this, there's nothing to say. I assume that, this film is a bad joke for Turkish people.

I cannot believe I am writing a review for this stinking piece of garbage... Why! Why would anyone write, produce, direct, act in, or just be associated with such an abomination...

This movie is supposed to be a sequel to awful but well-known movie known as "Turkish Star Wars". That movie was the second worst thing happened to Turkish image after 'Midnight Express'. This one is a close third. The original movie was made by unexperienced youngsters with misguided idealism and without money. This one must be written by a thousand retarded monkeys on crack.

There is no decent plot, or script, or anything that makes sense. The direction is bad, acting is ridiculous, editing is awful. There is really nothing to say about it.

This movie is so bad, I felt insulted. Never see it... Never.

I tried to watch this film, I really did - I happened to be at someone's home and their young nephew had brought this movie to keep himself entertained. In goes the DVD, and there upon the TV screen I see Mehmet Ali Erbil prancing around in all his glory. The movie banks heavily on Mr. Erbil's "irresistible" charm - To say that the filmmakers overestimated Erbil's abilities is the understatement of the decade.

Basically, the film is a campy 'remake' of Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (AKA: "Turkish Star Wars"; Semi-literal translation "The Man Who Saved the World" ) that retains none of the original film's crude charm. This movie is just so poorly constructed it isn't even as unintentionally funny as the original - There is simply no way to excuse the people behind this film for being so lazy and crass.

However, I don't think it deserves to be in the Bottom 100 - It's a trashy movie, there is no sense in debating that point, but there are many other titles more deserving of such an 'honor' both within and outside of the world of Turkish cinema. Seriously, some of the sleazy movies that come on late at night make this movie look like a Shakespearean classic on film.

This is type of film that will act as late night filler for years to come in Turkey, but it's hardly the worst thing out there. I do not recommend this movie to anyone other than rabid Mehmet Ali Erbil fans and people who have their heart set on seeing what all the fuss is about.

I have a strange obsession....to be able to see all the films on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 list. The problem with some of them, however, is that they aren't all translated into English...so I really cannot review them. However, in the case of "Turks in Space" I did something unusual...I watched the film in its original Turkish language. While this might sound stupid, believe me, with some Turkish movies, they are so bad and so poorly made that you really don't need to know the language...just sit back and enjoy the mess! And what a mess this was, with horrible special effects, terrible acting and an overall look that is WORSE than a homemade film posted on YouTube. Inept in every possible way...and unintentionally funny. I say look for this title...you'll enjoy it regardless of the language barrier.

I have just watched the movie wondering how terrible it is and I believe there must be "zero" and even "minus" point to vote because voting 1 point is too much for this movie. Anyway, Congratulations! M.Ali Erbil succeed in starring in the 8th worst movie in the world. Am I surprised ? Of course NO.. Whatever M.Ali Erbil made in Turkey has been a rubbish and this is one of his collections. There must be a law in Turkey to forbid M.Ali Erbil make more absurd movies and shows on TV. On the other hand,there are many other good actors & actresses starring in the movie and I feel pity for them, especially for Cuneyt Arkin whom we have known for many years in unforgettable Turkish movies.

This title is not originally meant to be a sequel.Not just because there is a 25 year gap, also there is no connectivity between two story lines.Only connection available is the former antagonist. And he is seen like 5 minutes. People may think that all the negative opinions may not reflect the truth or not objective. I' m sorry they are objective.There is not even one good point about this movie.The original one had a weird, awful storyline, plot, as a matter of fact a meaning.Deep down there, you may understand the work.But this title; well nothing more than a scary movie trial.Same solid lack of storyline, same concrete example of NOT acting.Well, there are certain examples special effects which are not bad indeed. But that fact doesn't help. As the result, this movie is nothing more than a shell. There is no inside. Just a commercial thing using the name of a cult movie. .If you have time and if you have really no reason to do something else, go watch.

Arkin is the only character who reappears, the story sucks and the special effects suck.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen and even though I'm not an expert, I know one or two things about movies. The only reason this movies exists is because the producers wanted to get their share after the first movie; infamous ''Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam (1982)'' became a cult classic.

The acting is terrible, the dialogues are mindless and It doesn't even have a proper storyline. This is my first review (as the lazy person I am) I never wrote anything on this site before but since the first movie is a cult classic and its coming from my country, I just wanted to warn you people who might think ''well the first one was really interesting and grotesque, maybe this one is good too.''

Its not, and If you are interested in Turkish movies, I recommend Nuri Bilge Ceylan's movies. I wish you a happy day.

Honestly ,i was expected better movie from the people who played in that movie. Pascal Nouma ; you might knew him ,he played in various different teams in Europe and even U.S. till early 2000's. His popularity was outrages in Turkey due his attitude on field. Anyways Mehmet Ali Erbil ,Denis Seki and the other main actors,actresses are well known people in Turkey. The biggest problem is Cuneyt Arkin is doing cameo appearances ,he talked like 3 to 4 minutes during whole movie!! Yeah if you have nothing to do and just looking for small laugh ,this is the movie , i probably rank the movie 4 out of 10. Mehmet Ali Erbil is doing his job but he is just out there so much ; that creates problem for other people to not showin themselves that much.When i watched the movie ,it feels like i watched movie about Mehmet Ali Erbil. If you are looking to watch Turkish made space movie-check out Gora.It 2004 made movie ,it broke all the records.Cem Yilmaz whom i believe the funniest guy in Turkey now is in it.

Okay first i want to say even if i'm a Turk i don't like these type of movies but still i wanted to say a few things.The first movie 'Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam' was a total disaster everyone in Turkey makes fun of it because it was made seriously as a sci-fi movie and they stole many things from Star Wars.But the second movie is a comedy.Now the MOST important thing in a world class comedy film is to make EVERYONE on the planet laugh,but it doesn't mean that you have to make everyone laugh to make an ordinary comedy movie,i read that one commenter said that its not even close to funny,now i'm from turkey and believe me there are MANY European and American movies people from here don't laugh at and there are many movies you people don't laugh at,this films aim is Turkish population because Turkish sense of humor isn't same with the others,actually EVERY countries sense of humor is different with other countries so MY OPINION is that it doesn't make sense to say 'not even close to funny' to a 'comedy' movie that isn't in your country because it may not suit your sense of humor but people here liked it not very much but still they liked it,so please make your comments on comedy movies according to these things..i'm sorry if my English was bad..

Saved my marriage and granted me a finically safe future for me and my family.

Everything Turks In Space can accomplish, it has. The movie had me emotionally gripped throughout every second of it, from the moment the opening credits started. For months I have been watching movies that just let me down, but this one I could rewatch over and over again. I sat there with my bag of Turkish action figures, gripping them tightly, especially when the suspense was too much for me to handle. The acting cast was great, even the background extras had undeniable talent. I was happy to drop 10 stars on this movie, because a success like this should never be forgotten. Although there are some bad reviews, I personally loved it and it is the top movie in my collection now, topping "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2."

Turks. The people of Turkey. Not to be confused with the bird enjoyed by millions during the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays. They are a noble, glorious people, but they don't taste as good as the bird of the same name. How could they possibly be made better? Impossible, yes? I thought so too, but then it hit me.

PUT THEM IN SPACE!

The Turk's thrive in the low gravity environment found in space. I do not know whether turkeys would be as good as Turks in this situation, but who cares?

I'm not even going to tell you what this film is about because you need to see it for yourself. Please. Be a Turk. Go to space. Join the GLORIOUS Turkish SPACE ARMY OOOYRAHHH!

I am really proud of the scenarist who wrote this movie. It requires an educational background and maturity with good knowledge of our culture to understand it. I read the other comments as well. The only thing I can say is that the movie is a really perfect summary of the characteristic behavior and thinking of our people. It is well done with all kinds of details with really nice criticisms of our culture. Besides, it balances the negative and positive sides of our people and culture objectively. Therefore, I recommend all foreigners to watch it if they wanna know Turkish people more. The film is a really really good reflection of Turkey. I would like to thank to all people who worked for and in the film.

Yours sincerely

The Son of the Man Who Saved the World is a delightful 2006 sequel to the 1982 cult classic, often dubbed the "Turkish Star Wars." The original film gained fame for its audacious and low-budget attempt to mimic sci-fi movies, resulting in a unique blend of action and unintentional comedy.

The sequel cleverly embraces the comedic elements that endeared the original to fans. By intentionally incorporating humor and self-aware parodies, it transforms its predecessor's quirks into strengths. This approach adds a fresh, entertaining layer to the story, making it both nostalgic and fun.

A standout feature of the movie is its impressive special effects. Unlike the original, which had to rely on rudimentary techniques, the sequel benefits from modern technology, offering visually stunning scenes that enhance the overall experience.

In summary, it successfully revives the spirit of the original film by blending comedy with advanced visual effects. It's a charming and entertaining tribute that brings new life to a beloved classic.
