Ba'al (2008 TV Movie)
1/10
Bad research, as usual for this production company
13 February 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The film talks about Sumerian priests (who died out long before the movie places them) leaving markers in the arctic which refer to offerings to the god Ba'al. Ba'al wasn't Sumerian, he was Ugaritic and Canaanite. Completely different pantheon, completely different region of the middle east. Also, the word Ba'al means lord or master, which could refer to any number of gods, since the word is no more than an honorific. And he wasn't a storm god, Hadad was.

Bad writing, bad direction, bad action, bad everything. If the sci-fi channel is going to offer low-budget movies for our entertainment, they need to at least get a production crew that knows how to do research.
