Review
Highlights
You Wishing It Was A Longer Battle, Featuring Both Sides
Everything is pretty much from Mason’s perspective. He has a problem, he purchases a solution, and the solution gives the rats a run for their money. Unfortunately, you don’t see the rats’ side. You don’t see them evolving to the point of being able to fight back. Most of the battles you don’t see, you just see the end result with mutilated bodies. There are missed opportunities, but you will find yourself fully engaged for the complete 9 minutes, even with the battle being mostly one-sided.
Overall
Our Rating: Positive (Worth Seeing) – Recommended
It seems like Love Death + Robots wanted to save some of its best for last, as Mason’s Rats shows.
Who Is This For?
Those who hate vermin and want to see them get hurt.
