If you have not yet seen City of Rott, rent it before you decide to buy it. First let me tell you about City of Rott and its general storyline. You are introduced to Fred, an elderly man with a walker. You'll be confused right off the bat as to why hes speaking without moving his mouth all the time. You'll realize this is because he speaks to his walker. I found this very tiring to watch, as any time you do not see his face, you may get confused in mid sentence, who's actually speaking until someone is addressed. However, lets continue with..what is Fred doing? Fred's journey through out the entire 77 minutes will revolve around finding new slippers as he expresses early on, his current ones are aching his feet.
Now if you're a zombie movie fan or just like gore, you'll enjoy the countless zombie dispatches. The movie is meant to be funny as well, so those looking for a serious zombie movie probably should stay away..as if the fact it was animated didn't give this away anyhow.
The movie does take an interesting turn towards the end but unless I am ignorant or something, its a very stale end.
After it is all over with, I give this movie a 5 out of 10. It is not a terribly bad movie. It kept me interested through most of it. There were parts where hearing Fred speak constantly grew old and slightly annoying. The voice acting all together seemed pretty uninspired. Notably, a girl character's voice was not that of a girl and seemed like it was a man's voice with the pitch raised.
Zombie fans, take this with a grain of salt. Those who aren't, maybe this isn't for you.
