Brilliant Idea, but Lacks Rationality

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2013)

I'm never a big fan of zombie movie, even though I followed 'The Walking Dead' series, I just watch it to kill some time while thinking what movie I should watch next. Even when I started watching this movie, I was still thinking what movie I should've been watching. But, quite surprisingly, this movie took my attention away from my sea of thought.
While any other zombie movie focused on the gory scenes or run-by-a- hair-breadth-close-from-zombies things, this movie focused on a very unusual plot for a zombie movie. But, as much as I like the love story between the zombie (R) and the still-living girl (Julie), I couldn't help but pointing one after another anomalies all the time I watched the movie. I didn't say the anomalies made the movie bad, it's just confusing, but still good to watch. I don't understand myself.
As I said above, the story and the idea were brilliant, hands down. The comedies also give some refreshment in the right place instead of annoying. But, the characters were the confusing part of the movie, especially the characteristic of the zombies. That's the anomalies I was talking about, to make it easier, I'm gonna list it;
1. 'R' once noted that zombies were slow, but on the other scene, some of them were running (well, it might have something to do with them seeing their food (living flesh), an it kinda remind me of the infected people in '28 Days Later' rather than the literal walking dead).
2. The zombies were breathing, YES, breathing as in inhale and exhale (most notably when they (trying to) talk. They sounded more like Stevie Kenarban from Malcolm in the Middle, seriously...). Yet, R was drowning when he fell into the pond. So, what's with the inhaling and exhaling? Aren't zombies suppose to be 'dead'?
3. Eating brain made the zombies able to regain memories of the person whose brain they ate. Then, if they eat the heart, they should regain some heartbeat, right? This part of the movie is the weirdest for me. It sounds more like mutant (yes, despite being different in the method, I'm implying about Rogue from X-Men) than zombies.
4. In some scenes, zombies were able to smell living flesh from distance, even when they (humans) were in the building. And yet, when R brought Julie back to his 'home', none of the zombies were smelling her. Did that has something to do with the blood streak on her face?
I think that's all. And to be frank, 'Warm Bodies' felt more like a love story between a retarded boy and an action girl. Seriously, 'zombie' is another calling for Neanderthal humans. I always think that zombie movies are made to criticize how selfish humans can be.
Well, as the review's title said, this movie was basically good, but lampshaded with loads and loads of anomalies. Zombie-fan wouldn't be impressed, but it might hook some irregular chick-flick fans.
I give this movie 6/10 for the brilliant idea and the anomalies.
