Could you make someday more movie reviews? That would be great!

P.S.: I got the chance to see every movie that you reviewed from “Robo Vampire” to “The Monolith Monsters” (except the BACK TO THE FUTURE animated series).

Greetings

Ben from Germany

Its a GOOD movie for what it is.

In the original two games, Tiberium wasn’t a crystal/rock. Tiberium was a plant that leached all useful elements out of the ground, and merely concentrated them into crystal; which were essentially it’s fruits/leaves.

Many a Tiberium mutated lifeform would roam the earth; a far more expansive and awesome premise than a couple of rocks.

I’m going to check this one out for sure. Thanks Mike!

So when the power goes even for the masts, or even the rocks topple the masts… No phone, no Facebook, no twitter… WE’D GO EVEN MORE INSANE! XO

They feed off of silicon in the environment around them to grow, and reproduce by shattering so each piece becomes a new creature. Of course they wouldn’t represent a direct threat to humans, even if you picked one up and held it in your hand, since our bodies contain almost no silicon at all we wouldn’t be a viable food source…nor could they turn us to stone unless they somehow inject silicon into us through osmosis (a process that would be time consuming and reversible.) However 90% of the Earth’s crust is made out of silicates (minerals that contain silicon) so there wouldn’t be any place to run either.
