Just because you are shooting good visuals doesn't mean you have a fancy movie. Since Autumn by Ozcan Alper we know that good scenery can be presented well within a context, a plot and other essentials. So the good scenery here is in no way an excuse for such a dragging agony. Some of the comments here are really making me ask myself did I watch the same movie or what? What rebellion, what post-modern disobedience?
Sermet Yesil was so overplaying, at times I was too embarrassed to be even watching him. You don't even need to check his name in Google to know he was picked up from a theater stage. His exaggerated cries, faces, unnaturally long and calm nonsense speeches. Who buys that? Who writes that?
And in the end revealing the great mystery, the source of his superpowers was that thing in the sky which eventually burned up and crashed into the ground. What is that an oriental Truman Show? Allah was mad at him for abusing his powers so he smoked him up. For crying out loud move along people. If there is anything interesting about Kars's religiously mystical ways then rest assured Orhan Pamuk milked it dry long ago in his book Kar.
