It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

quote ''The space people had advanced technology and guns, but they had no brains'' a part of the prelude - what a convincing excerpt.. what a story...man.. weightless rocks Cuneyt is lifting and throwing probably once had weight and hit the producer's head! how the hell did this movie hit the theaters without a sane person noticing it... mystery to me. if its a done deal before you watch that you'll see something stupid, go - on... don't take it serious.. thats the key. but despite some views here I guarantee that you will not last more than 10 minutes before you lose your patience and escape from this piece of crap. I hated to write such a dull review therefore give you a bright side of it : that is; you will like the next movie you will watch...even bollywood musicals may look as a masterpiece to you after watching this movie, well, for a while.

Edward D. Wood Jr., is perhaps the best-known director of grade Z movies. Classics such as PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) have entered popular folklore as legendarily bad films, which are so terrible in terms of script, filming and performances that they are almost good. But nothing compares to THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD (1982), Cetin Inanc's Yesilcam answer to STAR WARS. Shot on a shoestring budget with sequences deliberately plagiarized from Lucas' film (as well as the theme tune), the film quite simply defies all attempts at logic. The plot - if there is one - is a familiar good vs. evil affair - but the continuity simply doesn't exist. Cuneyt Arkin as the superhero is just wonderful; the way he pirouettes through the air during the fight sequences is breathtaking, almost as if his boots were turbocharged. The dialog - such as it is - gives cliché a good name. But before western audiences sit back and simply laugh derisively at the film, perhaps they should bear in mind that Yesilcam movies operated according to their own dramatic logic very different from what might be expected in Hollywood. Most of them were shot in two or three weeks at most, and depended for much of their success on the pleasures of familiarity: audiences enjoyed seeing mega-stars like Arkin play the same role over and over again, even if he wasn't very good at it. THE MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD is a very good example of this kind of film; rather like a quota quickie in Hollywood in the 1930s, it was designed to fulfill a need rather than be accepted as "great" art. Whatever its merits or demerits, it's still a really entertaining piece to watch.

"Dünyayi kurtaran adam" (The Man Who Saved the Earth) is the story of "strongest and greatest two Turkish warriors" who save planet Earth from the forces of Evil. It takes place during the so-called Galaxy Era, an era when the Earth (already shattered to pieces) is on its way to total destruction, barely held together by a protective shield made out of powdered human brains.The movie is inspired by the cult movie "Star Wars", made by George Lucas a few years before its Turkish counterpart was released. The American version was an ambitious effort: Lucas sought to show not only that Good can triumph over Evil, even in Outer Space, but also that it's possible to sell action figures of characters that receive less than ten seconds of screen time, and in doing so, become one of the richest people on Earth. "Dünyayi kurtaran adam" builds upon these ideas, yet does not forget to acknowledge Lucas' influence. If you look closely, you might notice that director Çetin Inanç has cleverly interwoven random footage from the original, yet given it a new context (and aspect ratio) that provides a unique and compelling insight into the Human Condition.It should not go without saying that Dünyayi Kurtaran Adam was made in a time when government restrictions in Turkey prohibited the viewing of films from abroad. In that light, one can only imagine the joy that the Turkish people must have felt when blessed by this release, and the gratitude they must have felt toward their otherwise oppressive government.

like all good art, this movie cannot be counted as a national phenomena, no it transcends time and space and the petty conventions of our "faithless" and "nuclear" age. so please tolerate the Turkish commentators who make up 90% of the DKA forum. developing nations (in general) tend to be a bit emotional and sensitive when it comes to their national produce. they fear the strangers will think "these turks are dumb as hell" when they watch the movie,so they feel the need to defend themselves (xxxtremely low budget, subnormal intelligence of the director etc. which could not be helped) but no defense is necessary the movie speaks for itself if you have the ears to listen to. the best art is done unintentionally, and it is the babe not the wise who conquers the muse
