Not at all what you think it is

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2013)

I watched this film because my teenager wanted to watch it, but I wasn't expecting much. I thought, "Oh, it's just Twilight but with zombies." Boy, was I wrong.
From the first few moments of R's voice-over narration, you can tell that it's actually not cheesy. He sheds a humorous light on his predicament and you're immediately rooting for him. The actual plot of the movie, while not totally unique, is oddly refreshing. You get the sense that both R and Julie are sincere & not that much different from any other teens their ages. They're just in another place and time.
Warm Bodies has elements of sci-fi, action/adventure, romance, drama, and comedy. Even if you don't like sappy romance movies or don't think you can sit through one more zombie movie, see this one. You won't be disappointed.
