The only reason to call this a Star Trek movie is because they mention Starfleet several times. The cartoonish characters actually belong on Lower Decks, not in this mess. The story is rushed, the peril ridiculous and you get no time to process anything. Every alien species is brand new, with no chance for character development, other than their simplistic special abilities. Michelle Yeoh is always good as Philippe Georgiou, but not as the lead character. She needs a moral foil to her narcissistic anrrogance and that's completely missing without someone like Michael Burnham. This is obviously a pilot for a series that never happened... and that's a good thing. They need to stick with Starfleet stories.
