Tomiris

2500 year old story with all the trappings of an Arabian Nights Tale, well developed characters, mysticism, religion, politics, family, beautiful enormous visual canvas and lots of horses. The story has an authentic feel, deals with issues of joining nomadic and proud peoples. It is a long story but worth hanging in till the end. It will lift your spirits.

The movie includes legendary historic facts. Being a radical Persian cannot be a reason to down vote this kind of pure-historic events. Because of this, I am voting 10/10 but in a normal evaluation, personally I would rate it as 7/10.

Im an iranian and to all of my people for god sake please first watch then judge who knows what happend thousands of years ago.

It was way better than expected. Respectful to the era and historic events, and seems not exaggerated nor pursuing any political agenda. As some other comments pointed; it is not another phony, feminism-injected warrior princess movie. Beautifully detailed with lots of hard work. Within one-tenth of a budget and the same ratio of experience compared to big Hollywood studio movies, it is surprisingly good, highly recommended. One thing reminded me that I was not watching a highly praised million-dollar Hollywood movie was; some sound effects, especially sound effects of weapons were off. Otherwise, the music is good as well. Excellent job, well done as a beginner Kazakhstani people, thanks to everyone who participated to make this movie happen. Hope more will come.

I think this movie is fantastic because of how historically accurate it is and the actors did such a good job.
