So I have read the reviews both negative and positive and I have to say that some have merit while others do not. Let us remember that this is considered children's programming and is not intended to be HIGH BROW like Picard or the fun science lingo of Generations and Discovery. Plus EVERY pilot episode is designed to introduced the characters and I would love to see how their story develops. Will they become more complex to satisfy adult viewership or will they keep these kids continuously fascinated by what is out in the cosmos like all children that look up to the stars each night. Time will tell. Now as for the animation, wow! I can't believe there is some much movie quality animation in this episode. Some scenes were brighter than others but over all it does go way beyond most others. Lots of fine details in the background, foreground, and effects. Now I enjoyed this and my wife (not a Star Trek Fan) really liked it but our most discerning critic in our household is our six old son who said,"Is that it? Where are they going? I want to see more!" After all what is Star Trek at it's core but an adventure to inspire the future...
