Beautiful...just beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2013)

OK. I've tried to write a review for this film 3 times now. I'm getting the feeling that something is somewhat against me reviewing this film which confuses me because this film is beautiful and amazing and the themes are stunningly amazing as well as the score, the effects, the settings, the make up, the casting, the scripting...EVERYthing. I love this film so much. It's just stunning. I've seen 3 zombie films in my life- Shaun of the dead, zombieland and this one....this film is nothing like zombieland or Shaun of the dead....I loved Zombieland too but hated Shaun of the dead but seriously warm bodies is one of the best films I've seen in a while. Nicolas Hoult was absolute genius as well as Teresa Palmer and Analeigh Tipton and Rob Corddry and Dave Franco...the cast was completely flawless. Anyways this film is based around a zomhie called "R" who has the rare ability to think. He begins to question his life as a zombie especially when he meets "Julie" who he falls in love with on first sight. He saves her life and takes her to his home at the abandoned plane in an airport full of zombies and "bonies" to protect her from being eaten. Over the next few days they fall for each other and Julie and R run away with each other to an abandoned neighbourhood where R confesses to killing Julie's boyfriend Perry. She then leaves R after he sleeps and dreams for the first time since he became a "corpse" R then heads back to the airport to find out that the bonies are after him and Julie and that the other corpses are beginning to change also. R goes to find Julie and warn her of the bonies and R then plans to tell Julie's father that the corpses are changing. This meeting doesn't go well and ends in Julie and R being chased by her father's army men whilst the zombies are fighting bonies in an abandoned subway station. The humans see this and join in helping the corpses meanwhile R and Julie are being chased by bonies and the army and end up on a ledge above water. R then grabs Julie and jumps back first into the water whilst holding Julie. They fall and he hits the bottom and Julie lifts her head out of the water and then goes and grabs R from the bottom of the water....and he's OK. R and Julie then kiss romantically and then we see an extreme close up of R's eye which changes from light and outlined with slight lack of life to bright blue and human and then we hear a gun shot and see R jolt backwards. Julie's father is stood opposite holding a steaming gun. Julie then starts explaining to her father before realising that R is bleeding. R is in the back in shock holding his shoulder. He is now human. This is such an amazing bit that it actually made me cry.
I can't believe how amazing this film is. You have to see it! I really wasn't expecting it to be like this. I was expecting some cheesy, cheap zombie humour with gruesome scenes based around zombies ripping humans to pieces....it's nothing like that. The humour is all cleverly placed and there is some gore but not enough for it to be a horror or even a thriller. It's a zombie romantic comedy which is insanely cute and an extremely clever idea. I love it so much.
Watch it!
