Ah yes, I have watched "Wonderful Days". If this review is too short and not that detailed, it's because I don't have much to say about this movie. "Wonderful Days" came out last year in Korea and well, it was awful in its country. Anyway, in some land in the future is a land in ruins. There's a feud between two social groups. One needs smog and mess to live while the other one lives in a more cleaner land. Of course, in this mess are two former friends, Jae and her friend Shua.
Fun - 3
The moment I got this, my body felt flat and it did not get back up. Oh, sure, there were various action scenes to keep me up, but other than that, that's about it. I was busy admiring the CG. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and I had a hard time staying up.
Life - 2
I don't know about you, but I would only see this to the point I've hit rock bottom on the boredom scale. I'm sorry. That's how I feel.
Story - 3
Yeah folks, the story is pretty weak if you ask me.
Audio - 6
The audio is a mixed bag. The voice actors were just there and they did not try to stand out. The same can be said for the music. While the opening song was okay, the rest were just there and they just didn't grab me like I had hoped for.
Art - 7
Surprisingly, the art is this movie's high point, but it's not as great as I had hoped for. The CG: you know the deal with it already. As for the characters, I'll admit that some of the characters do look popular characters from various Japanese series. For some reason, Jae's design sort of reminds me of Noa of Patlabor. Too bad that the feel of the art in general is a bit rough in a bad way.
Overall - 4
Honestly, I wanted to like this, but I just couldn't. Sure, it has decent art, but you know how it is in the entertainment world. "A pretty face is nothing if you don't have talent." That's how I feel about this movie. Should you watch this still? That's up to you.
+
I like the CG and some of the action scenes and some of the characters look like popular characters in Japan.

It's so inconsistent on many occasions and it just didn't connect with me.
