Direnis: Karatay

A war film set against the backdrop of the Great Mongol Empire-the world's most powerful nation-in its invasion and colonial rule over the Seljuk Empire.

In the 13th century, when the world's strongest nation, the Great Mongol Empire, was in the midst of its global conquest, the Mongol armies swiftly invaded the Seljuk Empire, and in no time, conquered and colonized the Anatolian Peninsula, reducing the Seljuk Empire to merely one of the Mongol Empire's global colonies. "Karatai" is a war film that portrays the heroic final stand of the Seljuk Empire's troops (whose successors became the Ottoman Empire) as they fiercely resisted the Mongol invasion to the very end. I highly recommend it as a war film.

Low budget movie but magnificent performance from Mehmet Aslantug

This is the first time I am writing a review for a movie. To write a review I even opened an account. I always check the rating of a movie before I watch it. This is the first time I stop watching a movie after 30 minutes that have a rating +6. I don't understand how it is possible that people rate this movie with 5 or higher. This is definitely one of the worst movies I have seen about Seljuk empire. When you see the rating, reviews and the cast your expectations gets very high. But really there is only one reason why you can rate this movie so high, you are in the cast or you know someone in the cast.

Please people don't waste your time....

Ooooooooo. very history film... good film thank you

Turkish cinema needs more show of its history. However this film contains a lot of fantasy moments. fictional material, and some even not of the needed quality of a movie. Not good bindings between the parts. Visual effect, sound and parameters are almost ok. Very good performance from Mehmet Aslantug though.
