Has a VERY strong Discovery look and feel to it. I really hope it's better than that.

Yuck. Only took a minute to identify the new Burnham. Hard pass.

It's a damned shame, too. This was Star Trek's opportunity to pull off their own Rogue One, but instead we get rizzed up Burnham.
I don't want to be negative before I've even seen it, but still, yeeesh. |

The only good thing to come out of the Burnhamverse is SNW, and even that teeters at times.

I know the past is behind us, but I yearn for a DS9-type Section 31.
Sigh, it will never happen. |

This feels like the most un-Star Trek one yet.

Man - that looks bad.
I really enjoy SNW (about 80% of the time, at least) but can't say I'm a Star Trek universe guy. Never watched DSN and probably only saw about half of TOS or TNG. But I'm not predisposed to disliking it. I typically give all of them a shot. But I can't imagine I'll stick with this at all.

Strictly speaking, it's almost certainly racist, but ultimately I think asking foreign actors to emote and speak authoritatively in English just does them a disservice.
That actress is evidently quite accomplished so I'm sure she's good at her job. But you're asking her to carry a series in her second language. Moreover, culturally, the way she emotes and the way she uses language is just going to be different than what American ears would be accustomed to. I just don't understand why a series would do that. I mean I get it, it's to establish "Humanity is a global thing now; it's beyond nations and now everything is on an interstellar/planetary scale..." Okay, fine - but you still have an audience to reach. And just listening to her in that preview...man, it just doesn't work. It's like having someone with a high pitched/nasal voice trying to do a baseball or football broadcast - it just rings wrong.

Turns out this is a movie, not a series. So at least the time commitment isn't there from that perspective if it is bad (which it likely is).
