It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

View MoreThis movie made my butthole tense at every moment, I can't believe they made a prequel to the amazing Turks In Space. I'll always love Kartal Tibet, his directing is unbeatable due to his insane amount of classic Turkish delights. The fact star wars had to steal scenes from this movie is beyond me, like you can't beat the originality of Turkish movies, so why steal scenes? For a 1982 movie, this is beyond the requirements for modern day movies. If I were to refer this to a friend, I'd have to come and watch it with them. Even the trailer had me in tears from the pure emotion that each actor had, i was clenching my Turkish toiletries anytime Murat got his big lightsaber out.
View MoreI'd known about this film for years, but today I finally got to watch it today.There was a bit, early on, which I thought almost made sense... then I watched that bit again, and it didn't.ALL the space footage is nicked from 'Star Wars', despite nearly all of the film being based on Earth. Or a bit of Earth. That part is unclear. But every now and then they break up the Earth-based ramblings with completely random bits of Tie fighter v X-Wing action.The music is filched from 'Indiana Jones' and 'Flash Gordon', there are many feral orange teddy bears and a lot of trampoline-based assault. And one of the 'dead' children seems to smirking quite a lot for a corpse.Long hand-to-hand combat scenes, involving Krap Fu moves, 'Judo Chop' dismemberment of the aforementioned teddy bears, mummies, nunchuck-wielding Chelsea Pensioners, clunky robots and sundry other characters in papier-maché heads.Continuity cockups a-go-go; I mean, how many times exactly did the Earth get blown up? The same stock footage appearing again and again, especially the X-Wing attack on a Death Star which isn't actually mentioned in the plot. Due to aspect ratio differences between the Turkish film and the stolen George Lucas footage, it's more of a Death Egg.On the upside, the hero has a certain charisma (in the scenes where he isn't bouncing around like a superball, that is).Batcrap crazy. Makes 'Santa Claus conquers the Martians' look like a cinematic masterpiece.
View MoreDünyayi kurtaran adam (Turkish Star Wars) (1982) BOMB (out of 4)Turkish film that is pretty much a scene for scene remake of Star Wars. Unlike most Turkish films, apparently this one was meant to be a serious movie but the budget is so low and everything is so poorly done that you can help but roll your eyes. I'm not a big fan of the film being "copied" so perhaps that's why I didn't enjoy this one as much but I hard a really hard time trying to sit through it. The special effects are being bad and sometimes the film resorts to using scenes from the actual Star Wars. The music score from that film is also used here but what's most shocking is that there are special effects in the film, which appear to be from an Atari game. If you're a fan of the original Star Wars then you might get more entertainment out of this than I did. There's no question this is a horrible movie but some might find it so bad it's good.
View MoreHere are the quotes: - We are too far away from the Earth! The indicators aren't working! - Alpha, beta and ANKARA! (I swear, the robot with the funny light bulb says that!) - Although the aliens had many powers, they did not have brains. - They resisted the torture. Take them to the arena and humiliate them! - There is no time here. For example, I am a thousand years old. - Come on and whistle the way that no woman can resist. - Beam them! BEAM THEM!!! (Which means "shoot them with your futuristic laser pistols") - DESTROY THE EARTH! (Right after...) EARTH, YOU WILL BE MINE! - 13th tribe is the tribe of our ancestors... Then what part of the earth is this?Please I beg of you, do not judge Turkish cinema with this one.
