Quality zombie entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (3 February 2014)

Warm Bodies seems like something fresh and peculiar when compared to movies released nowadays. Sure some aspects are more than overdone by Hollywood on a regular basis. What makes this movie stand out among the others is the fact that it was carefully made and everything about it fell into place. Our lead character is someone that will get you off on the right foot with the story that is going to be told. He is funny, interrogative and sort of fits in with his kind, but seems to wanna break free. When he meets Julie, a human girl sent out to get supplies, he senses a need to protect her and therefore takes her home. From then on he will change as he spends time with her and begins to bond. This change will progress from R (the boy's name) to the other zombies, as they begin to feel and dream like they hadn't in years. Despite these good news, danger is present when the bonies (zombies reduced to deadly skeletons) become aware of what's happening and both the humans, led by Julie's father, and the evolving corpses face extinction. Not too long, the movie manages to entertain with competent acting that makes you root for the characters. The fine directing helps as well as it is quite compatible with the smart script, based on the novel. Warm Bodies is a good movie experience for people who not only appreciate this genre but also enjoy logical romances filled with thrills.
