I am not sure how to describe how much this show resonates with me as a fan of both the original series and the later series. It somehow combines what I liked out of every Star Trek series. It just 'works'. The show doesn't have any nihilistic negativity, it allows itself to be a lot funner, funnier, a lot more charming. Space, exploration, the future, are allowed to seem 'good' again, and I love that about this show. Maybe that is the thing that ties it to the original series the most. I think TNG and Picard tried to be a tiny bit too serious. I love both those series, but I love Strange New Worlds even more (yes even only 6 episodes in, I hope its a long romance and does not sour). The CGI is now on par with anything being produced these days in movies or streaming series. Its on par with the CGI in Obi Wan and Mandalorian. Lightyears better than any other Star Trek series. It feels like the most immersive and believable Star Trek universe yet created.

Horrible, unrealistic plot, bad CGI, wooden cliché acting, and even cheap audio effects. Could not be worse. Movie begins with the absolute opposite of how anyone is going to find out about the meeting place for a select .01% who will be evacuated from a disaster. Literally 'hey random stranger go this way to escape, but you cant bring your friends'. For real, how to create a riot and not get anyone evacuated, or more precisely how to film a scene that makes no sense with a plot driver that makes no sense, because the writer director and producers think the audience are mostly idiots, and from the reviews they may be correct. I find that people liked this movie terrifying and symbolic of the immanent collapse of society. We Are Doomed!

Marvel trying to do character development, suspense and intrigue, and utterly failing. Serious bummer, was looking forward to this but its just boring. No setup, no anticipation, things just happen and the script expects the audience to care for no reason. I guess they expect the comic fans to carry the franchise now, because you would need to read the comics and have developed some kind of reason to care for these character for this series to be at all interesting.
