If you miss the Z.A.Z. movies, don't miss this!


Good fun, quality visuals and superb music.

I don't agree. One of the worst Turkish film i watched. Even Recep Ivedik is better.

i totally agree, recep ivedik was also disgusting but it was much more better than this trash.

Either you are too young to know what a Z.A.Z. movie is, or you are too prejudiced.

Recep Ivedik would be cute-disgusting if not for the over-aped lead character.

AROG is a serious comedy. You can sense the manhours spent over it. I couldn't believe the music! It was way better than expected for a comedy.

Of course i know what zaz movie is. But they never pretended like a top title project.

If your mention about "manhour" are costume, special effects, and environment design; it is almost 20% percent of a film. Let's handle 1-by-one.
Casting: half of the cast are not even actor.
Script: sequel to G.O.R.A but not unique, stable (no climax)
Directing: Not dominant to actors, Arif is often alone(i mean no supporting actor)
Special Effects: Successful but limited(is stone age only composed of dinosaurs?)

They made great advertisement. Audience have big expectations. Dissapointment at last.

Dude, there were no dinosaurs in the stone age! We let go of reality when we watch fantasty-comedy films!

I agree that Cem Yilmaz had too much weight, but I have no complaint about other actors.

I repeat, not all films have to be masterpieces and not all comedies should reach the philosophical level of Divine Comedy.

I didn't have any expectations at all and I enjoyed my time in the cinema.
