Sadly, the opening credit sequence was much too Game of Thrones, with the unfolding animation, deep bass strings rippling through the music, it all seemed very stolen. The Game of Thrones also spilled over into the many deaths, characters,and quick plot twists. Yes, there was some originality in the opening series, which is what everyone was lead to anticipate. The cultural and black/white thing is too blatant, and in my opinion written into the script not to push boundaries and make people think, but rather just provoke a certain Twitter user to respond and thus make headlines. The CGI was too busy at times, and the space scenes unrealistic. You do not go flying though such debris at that rate, was it worth risking a life just to checkout a vague object before attempting other means such as probes? So for that area it receives huge fail at not even attempting for realism, something the original series did attempt. Overall it was worth watching, but it did not live up to the hype and will be revered only by the most extreme Star Trek fans.
