Relying mainly on coarse language and unsubtle innuendo, much of GORA's humour would be lost on a western audience. True, it attempts to make fun of Star Wars, Matrix and the Fifth Element to name a few well known films, but overall the humour was a bit tedious. Moreover, the image of a Turkish villager attempting to mount a robot is confusing, the only explanation being that the Turkish psyche may see men of that society as being fixated on one thing only.
More entertaining was Cem Yilmaz's portrayal of a fast talking carpet seller and perhaps more could have been done to develop this character. The special effects and cinematography were excellent for a non Hollywood film.
