the audience applauded

Good concept, poorly executed.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Turkish comedian Cem Yılmaz ("Hokkabaz" & "Organize İsler") and co-director Ali Taner Baltaci ("Hokkabaz" & "Tek Kisilik Dev Kadro") re-unite for this big-budget sequel to big-budget-blockbuster "G.O.R.A." which became another record-breaking Turkish box office hit.Turkish carpet salesman and intergalactic saviour Arif (Cem Yılmaz) is re-abducted by the evil Commander Logar (Cem Yılmaz) and taken to 1,000,000 B.C. where he teams up with Dimi (Özkan Uğur) to rescue Mimi (Nil Karaibrahimgil) and the Arog in an uninspired comedy set-up.Cem Yılmaz recreates his rather insipid performance as the stereotypical Turkish every-man Arif but this time with little relief from superior alter-ego Commander Logar while solid support comes once again from the likes of Özkan Ugur, Özge Özberk and pop diva Nil Karaibrahimgil.The film-makers' have put together a more polished production with a convincingly realised caveman movie pastiche that acts as a magnificent backdrop for a slightly superior series of parodies and gags that are let down by a trite football showdown finale."l'd rather disappear in desserts, rather than mess up with the history"

Cem Yilmaz, the ex-standup comedian has made quite nice movies such as G.O.R.A, the Magician, Everything is Going to Be Great. I was one of the followers of his movies as well. However, A.R.O.G really puts his level of quality so much down on the ground - if not underground. For starters, the idea/plot is actual "inspired" from the French comedy "RRRrrrr!!!" which is really a bad movie, A.R.O.G competes with it and surpasses "RRRrrrr" negatively in many ways. Unfortunately, Cem Yilmaz's movies turn out to be parts of his stand-up show which are pasted into his movies lately. The screenplay is non-coherent, the characters except himself has not too much to say and the jokes are becoming more and more ordinary. I have seen the movie on a special movie day, paid around $3 for it. After the movie, my feelings were that I was swindled. Not only for the low price and the time spent. I wouldn't see it again if I was paid for it. Do yourself a favor and be aware of this movie.

Cem Yilmaz, who is the funniest man of Turkiye, has broke another record with this film (with its hilarious and creative scenes of course). Unfortunately, for non-Turkish ppl, like most (even all) of Turkish films, many humours in these scenes were lost, since mostly attributions are about a life of a very classical and easterner Turkish person and his comments about Turkish social, political and cultural life. You will also childish joke scenes which I also didn't enjoy, too. I don't know, but, this must be his way of filming, on the contrary, his shows never make concessions about quality.Another subject is don't expect a great visual scenes, as this is not a Hollywood film which one of the richest governments in the world supports financially, on the other hand, this is just a Turkish film (not the best one) which a company accepted to be the sponsor of limitedly.Nevertheless, don't get disappointed yet. The film is more than 2 hours and each 5 minutes include at least one thing to laugh(for all). Well, this is no different indeed for non-Turkish speakers to watch this film or for me to watch "how i met your mother" episodes. I find "how i met your mother" as the funniest show ever, but, sometimes there are a few jokes American-ish. So I think it will mostly make you laugh, while it is important to watch it with a valid subtitle to understand every single joke, as this movie was filmed mostly to make people laugh.Such a very small explanation for non-Turkish speakers; Ridvan Dilmen is a commentator (and an old footballer) who seems in late minutes in the film. In Turkish matches, whenever he says "it's a goal", well, there the shot then and it is. (damn! he is like a seer!) Well, he was not really the person who we expect to see in that scene all of a sudden.Oh, I'd almost forget! Have I told you what record Cem Yilmaz broke with this movie? His first film, GORA, had been watched by about 1 million people in three days in Turkiye. Now, this is the third day and I think for AROG, this number has already rised up and still is rising...

Cem Yilmaz did it again. A film that would be another blockbuster but has nothing to do with cinema. This movie could be funny for only a limited group of audience who should first be Turkish and secondly be around the same age with Cem Yilmaz. There are good jokes for those people but the structure and pace are not satisfactory. Script for other characters than CY is awful. He deliberately under weighs other characters and pampers his ego like he did in each and every movie he made. Acting is poor by most of the characters. References to other movies are as stale and at the level of Scary Movie series. After three attempts(Gora, Hokkabaz and Arog) unfortunately no progress for CY.
