    Take the time to watch the scenery

    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.

    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.

    Great movie, fantastic story!

    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.

    History sometimes depends on viewpoints

    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.
