Make My Day, well it did not. Whilst the story isn't the worst thing ever the show just feels like watching cutscenes from something around the early 2000s.
The story: Earth technology becomes advanced > people explore space > people find amazing clean energy source > people find fossils > fossils turn out to be sleeping aliens > aliens angry > energy source not so safe > rich people greedy > lots of people die > everyone stands in a line and tells us they want to make a new happy life elsewhere. Story ends. Oh, and the hero has 0 experience in anything but performs better than hardcore veterans of basically every single profession to ever exist.
Animation is the biggest issue here. The background, vehicles, and set as such look pretty good, they pass! The aliens and people suck like they are horrible and poorly designed. The way they make them look whilst running is really odd, they look like 2000s characters which could be an insult to 2000s characters actually. When static in a photo they don't look so bad.
The sound does nothing outstanding, you had the opportunity for some really great spacial sound but it is bog standard.
The characters are basically dad, kid, girlfriend, and girlfriend's mum with the rest being hardcore veterans of their trades and some robots. The aliens aren't characters because well, you'll see. The 'kid' or the main character Jim basically is new, part-time, and has no life experience apart from a pregnant girlfriend and yet performs better than everyone in every way possible.
The poster makes this look dark, gritty, sci-fi, and fun but in reality, it is 5/10. There are many much worse shows that have existed out there and if the animation was better maybe you could forgive this show, CGI is obviously at the moment either top-notch or terrible, there seems to be absolutely no in-between.
