SKY BLUE

This film "by" (see below) Sunmin Park explodes on screen as a visual marvel, the animated Korean equivalent of a Michael Bay blockbuster, all beautiful surfaces and vapid interior. You could even view it as a synthesis of the love triangle from Bay’s Pearl Harbor with the sci-fi plotting of his upcoming hot-weather time waster The Island (in which an enclosed utopian society safeguards its inhabitants from the contaminated outside world). Back in 2003, when Sky Blue was released in Korea, the director was Moon-saeng Kim, and it was called Wonderful Days, an apt name for this testament to the maturing Korean animation industry. Since then, it’s been recut and rescripted by Ms. Park and dubbed into woeful English. The plot, however, is trite in either version. If you must see this, bring your iPod, crank up your favorite tunes, and sit back and enjoy the visuals. In Korean with English subtitles. (90 minutes)
