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. Go to Full Review Michael Booth Denver Post 03/25/2005
The writers leave us little to think about after they've created such blunt stereotypes of the bad and the good. Go to Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times 03/18/2005

Great to look at, but it's more silly than profound. Go to Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List 04/25/2019
3/5
The set up is great, but [Wonderful Days] unravels so slowly, over-elaborating the visuals, that it constantly borders on tedium. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
