The city's elite enjoy relative comfort in a environment that is fueled by carbon pollution and generates even more waste matter. When Ecoban security

A gorgeous work of animation, juxtaposing photo-realistic backgrounds with surrealistic images and actions. It rewards the effort of seeing it on the big screen.

The writers leave us little to think about after they've created such blunt stereotypes of the bad and the good.

It's a handsome thing, familiar and new at once, thoroughly entertaining if hardly memorable.

The more traditionally drawn 2-D human characters are as flat, in every sense of the word, as can be.

Only gets into serious trouble when it focuses on human interaction. That's because directors Moon-saeng Kim and Park Sunmin have populated the movie with every stereotype in Asian animation.

It's inventive in story if somewhat standard in character, but it really trips up by leaning on pyrotechnics that never really catch fire. That ultimately puts it in the category of interesting, but not mind-blowing.

With livelier, more idiosyncratic voices--as well as more believable dialog--these interesting people and places could have sprung to life in a vivid way.

Ultimately turns out to be more fascinating as eye candy than as a story.

Visually very impressive but cliched and predictable...just another clone of 'Metropolis' that falls far short of its inspiration.

For those appreciative of computer animation, special effects and cinematic production design, Sky Blue will more than suffice as entertainment. Those looking for something lively to watch in the foreground may be disappointed.

Great to look at, but it's more silly than profound.

Thankfully ... ditches much of the ersatz philosophy and concentrates on pure explodo.

A riveting, eco-wise epic that'll do fans of both Ralph Nader and Katsuhiro Otomo proud.

Audience Reviews for Wonderful Days (Sky Blue)

I used to be a big fan of anime when I was younger but I gradually fell away from it and moved onto different styles as time went on. I never stopped liking it, I just didn't seek it out anymore. When I heard of this though, I decided to delve back into it. Unfortunately, this effort didn't reignite my interest. In

Aw this is pretty good animation with a very noticeable clash of good vs evil from the two lead characters. Recommended.
