Warm Bodies offers a new, interesting perspective that turns the gnre of the zombie apocalypse on its head, and sees it from the perspective of one of the undead. At its heart, the film is a slightly silly romantic comedy.

Humour is used effectively to draw the viewer into the opening scenes, but the usage of comedy diminishes drastically first few scenes, making only occasional reappearances. The opening scenes were also visually impressive, purely because every angle was filled with details and objects, and wide shots to immerse the viewer into the world, but unfortunately this too diminished after the opening scenes.

However, the lighting changes have too much contrast: they are blatantly noticeable, and detract from the viewer's immersion, and much of the CGI was shaky, seeming strange and unnatural, and while this may have been the desired effect in some scenes, it was certainly not in others. The film's script uses almost exclusively short, simple, repetitive words, and, in my opinion, this detracted from the potential of the line.

To conclude,while the film may have an interesting story, it feels poorly executed in many aspects, greatly detracting from the viewing experience
