Tômiris

I'm from the US and I thought it was a fantastic story. Well deserving of the rating I gave it. If you're a history fan like me, this is the type of movie you want to watch.

I will say I hesitated quite a bit before watching this movie largely because I have become very tired of all of the Hollywood warrior princess movies out there today. And the last thing I wanted to see was another invincible woman killing all the imbecile "bad men". However after reading some of the more credible reviews on IMDb I decided to give this a chance. And I am very glad I did. This movie is not so much about a woman warrior as it is about a woman leader and her peoples way of life. Yes Tomiris is portrayed as a fierce fighter but that is not what the movie is about instead there are a lot of great male leads in this film who carry a lot of the action. What I enjoyed most about this movie, other than learning about a small piece of history I did not know or I had simply overlooked, was the way the Director and producers made the film without engaging in any gratuitous sex, gratuitous violence, or gratuitous profanity. This is what historical movies used to be about and I really hope we see more. Unfortunately I regret that I do not have any expectations of seeing a movie like this made in the USA by an American studio. So I felt a duty to spread the word. You can find quality "inclusive" films if you look hard enough and take some time to do your homework.

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.

Well done authentic movie about the historical nomad queen tomiris who historians agree stopped the Persian army and killed their king. The non Hollywood pace and casting are refreshing with the costumes and cinematography capturing the feel of the nomadic tribes well. Well worth a viewing.

The comments here are nationalistic cancer and the mods should intervene and delete the ones that are not about the film but just upset that history and and Iranian nationalism do not agree what actually happened.

Still a good watch. 👍

Braveheart was not a particularly accurate movie from a historical standpoint. Doesn't mean it wasn't a really good, fun movie.

I can't, and won't, speak about historical accuracy of Tomiris, as I don't know it. But I can and will give my opinion of the movie as entertainment.

It's quite enjoyable. A touch slow at times. I never liked the priest very much. But the rest is well worth your time.
