Wonderful Days (Sky Blue)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
