It's like take full breath of Mongol air

First: the whole film is like Mongols are heroes and democracy, Honor, respect to women, are on the first place, but as we know from books, it is not!

Chin Han, was most violent and destructive warrior(LORD) in history (as speaks our presents, even Latvia (now EU, Baltics, ) was almost invaded by him. Also One Of our legend tells , that Chin, Stopped at the hill Daugava, no forces could go further, But that is another story... we have our "Mongolyy Warrior" To. .. But even toutghter.. :)

As for Film, As I Ecsepetd, visually it was more just an regular in cinematography. Not like "nothing special" , but maybe "just regular great one-evening-movie" (Cut)...

This film is almost revolutionary in terms of reality, in these days. As you watch it, you become one of Mongols, (ok, just only, in your mind, but you get it?) Film as a history revelation is, complete zero, (ok 3) but as entertainment, but not least its superb!

I Highly recommend!

cheers and sorry for spelling.
