Rock Monster (2008)


Someone at the Sci-Fi Channel must have rewatched Galaxy Quest and decided that rock monster in the movie was so neat that it deserved its own film. Though comparing the rock monster of Sci-Fi's Rock Monster to the Galaxy Quest rock monster isn't entirely accurate; aside from its faintly insectoid facial features, if anyone ever made a live-action version of the late 80's "Inhumanoids" cartoon, this CGI rock monster is exactly what I suspect the Granites would look like. Although to continue the toy/toon comparisons, watching the rock monster stomping about, hurling things, swatting people, and slamming old European cars, it brought to mind some sort of stone age Transformer gone amok.
