This film is not a classic. But still highly enjoyable. I don't know what other people who have reviewed were expecting.... Shakespeare? Spielberg? Scorsese?
It's none of them. What it is a nod to the original while establishing something newI. It has fun moments and tight plot. Its shame they didn't make more.

This episode concludes season 3 which has had two plot lines: the burn and the emerald chain. Both plots struggle on their own in the vastness of this unexplored and untethered future. So it's little wonder that when these two plots conclude in the same episode the result is somewhat unsatisfying.
The Burn conclusion feels like a skip me episode from TNG's past. While the Emerald Chain finale is more like something from TNG movie - and not a good one.
Once again the focus is on Michael Burnham to save the day and no matter what she does (disobey orders, betray people, lie, kill, steal) she is in the 'right".
This season has been the poorest of the 3 so far. It has felt very lost in the vastness of an unknown future and with too much changed from what we know of the 23rd / 24th century its difficult to get into or even care.

Maybe it's a symptom of lockdown, but watch a film as shallow and empty as this and find still find some joy.
The film is not subtle nor smart in anyway. Its product placement is in your face and the characters are 1 dimensional. It is clear that people thought the premise was enough to make the film work and they didn't need to bother with plot, drama or decent jokes.
But i still found it just about watchable, which is probably due to the amount of utter rubbish I have already watched in the last year.
