In this animated tale, the domed city of Ecoban still protects survivors a century after war plunged Earth into a perpetually raining nuclear winter. But despite the best intentions of the once idealistic Dr. Noah, who constructed Ecoban, the city has evolved into a despotic caste system. By-the-book police chief Jay finds herself in battle with her childhood friend Shua, leader of a rebellious group who believe that destroying the city's dome is the only way to save its abused underclass.

B-

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.

The set up is great, but [Wonderful Days] unravels so slowly, over-elaborating the visuals, that it constantly borders on tedium.

3.5/5

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.

With a story that not only feels all too familiar and like a lazy rehash of far better films about pollution and saving the planet, but is also full of plot holes and things that go completely unexplained, it's safe to say that 'Wonderful Days' doesn't lay the best foundation. Add to that the boring, bland characters who don't get anywhere near enough of a backstory to make us care about them, as well as animation that is not quite up to par with far too much unsightly CGI going on, and you have yourself a film that falls flat on its backside. With more time to develop the premise and a rewrite that fleshes out the story and characters - like, say, with a TV series -- perhaps it could have had something. As it is, it's a bit of a mess and is neither exciting nor meaningful.

You'll love it, or you'll hate it. For me, it's atmosphere just sucked me in. The visuals are so stunning they make me cry. And the best part is: it has a powerful message too! One of my favorites.
