Unbiased Look at Warm Bodies

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2013)

I didn't have high hopes. Its not that it wasn't an interesting concept in the premise but its the low budget "please don't let this be twilight" aspect of it. I was surprised at the amount of heart the film had. My first problem with the film is that it had a lot of plot holes. Meaning unanswered and in-explainable gaps in logical storytelling. However, because of the dark comedy mix genre, I didn't take this to heart. The film is free minded and is more about personal interactions and gestures than dialogue or plot. Although its mostly about the humor, it does take itself a bit seriously at times which works sometimes but not every time in execution. It took me until the balcony scene to realize what R stands for, so I guess I wasn't looking too hard before hand. My main concern was trying to grasp what the difference between the bonies and the corpses were. We never really get a detailed answer, and that hurt the film for me. Even though I liked it overall, I totally can see how someone would outright hate it. Nicolas Hoult did a good job hope to see him in more projects.
