    This movie is fantastic

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

    One of the best non-Hollywood historical movies

    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.

    It is not fair to down vote

    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.

    A gritty historical epic with a non Hollywood feel. Worth watching

    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. 👍

    Excellent...

    The scenes and atmosphere in the movie are very natural and the characters are very real, they play. I congratulate them all.

    In addition, it progresses as a whole as a subject, and it may seem like it is progressing slowly to some, but I think it is in perfect consistency.

    I highly recommend watching a great movie...
