action
After a zombie apocalypse , Zombie R spends his days walking around an airport. Among the zombies that inhabit the city, belongs Rs best friend M . Their communication consists of nothing but grunts, moans, and the occasional near-word. Like all zombies, R is constantly on the lookout for human flesh, especially brain. When he eats the brain, he relives the victim's memories and feelings and feels alive again. The zombies live, hunt and travel in groups, they move very slowly. At a later stage, they become bonies or skeletons that move faster and devour anything whose heart is beating.
In search of food, R and a group of zombies find a group of people including Julie Grigio. Julie's father, the leader of a heavily guarded and isolated human settlement, has sent her to the nearby town to collect medicines from abandoned buildings. R sees Julie and is immediately drawn to her. After Perry, Julie's friend, shot R in the chest, R kills him and eats his brain. Julie doesn't notice anything. R now experiences Perry's thoughts and memories, which increases the attraction to Julie. R saves Julie from the rest of the zombie group and brings her to an airplane he lives in (an old Boeing 767-400 ) to hide her from his fellows. Being so close to Julie, R slowly begins to come to life. His heart begins to beat and various stimuli are transmitted.
Eventually Julie gets restless and persuades R to take her home. On the way, R confesses to her that he killed Perry. Julie then leaves R and returns to the settlement alone. Heartbroken, R makes his way back to the airport. On the way, R meets M and a group of zombies who have set out to follow R. M and the other zombies are also showing signs of resuscitation. R leads M and his group to the human settlement, into which R can sneak. There he meets Julie, her girlfriend Nora and Julie's father Colonel Grigio. While Nora reluctantly accepts that R is changing, Colonel Grigio refuses to believe that zombies can become humans again and threatens to kill R. Julie and R escape to a ballpark where the rest of R's pack are waiting. There R's pack is being attacked by bonies.
When Julie and R run away from the bonies, they are surrounded. The only escape route is to jump into a deep pool. R and Julie jump, R protecting Julie from the impact. R hits his head, but both survive the fall. Joyful that they are still alive, R and Julie kiss passionately, R's eyes turning from dead gray to human blue. R has turned back into a person. But Colonel Grigio, who watched the kiss, thinks R is still an undead, and shoots him in the chest. When Julie tries to prevent her father from killing R for good, she notices that he is bleeding profusely from the gunshot wound - this is proof even for her father that R is human. From now on, humans and zombies fight together against the bonies.
After the bonies are finally defeated, the wall around the human settlement is blown up. R and Julie watch this scene from a hill. The zombies are gradually being integrated into society, and soon the difference is hardly noticeable. M remembers that his previous name was Marcus. The film ends with R - he and Julie are now a couple - decides to keep his name R.

Parallels to other works
The plot of the film borrows elements from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet . This is the name of the two main characters R (Romeo) and Julie (Juliet). The famous balcony scene is recreated. Minor characters are also reminiscent of roles from Shakespeare's play. The name of Julie's boyfriend Perry is based on Count Paris, with whom Julia is supposed to be married in the play. R's friend Marcus' name corresponds to Mercutio. Julie's best friend and confidante is called Nora and she wants to become a nurse. Juliet's sole confidant in Shakespeare's play is her nurse (Engl. Nurse , ie German and nurse ). The hostility of the houses of Capulet and Montague, which makes a connection between Romeo and Juliet impossible, is simulated by the hostility of the people and the "corpses" (zombies). The tragic end of the play, in which Romeo and Juliet die, is reversed in the film: R returns to life.

Reviews
“Attention, dear horror fans! Warm Bodies now reinterprets the zombie as a romantic lover. But don't worry, it'll work out - precisely because the movie doesn't shy away from great emotions. And brains are nibbled anyway. "
"Satire instead of soap opera - with Warm Bodies filmmaker Jonathan Levine shows what is actually possible in the genre of teen fantasy romance!"
“After vampires and werewolves, now also zombies: Anyone who, in view of the story - a zombie falls in love with a person - expects another teardrop for teenagers, will be positively surprised here. The love story takes up a central part of Warm Bodies, but it gets by for the most part without kitsch and, thanks to frequent self-irony, has even become really funny. "
"The idea is not without its appeal, and although Warm Bodies clearly works its way through the genre corner points, it manages to gain interesting new aspects from the rather worn out topic of 'zombie' and to incorporate clever details from time to time."
