Eventhough I almost expected it, I was a little bit disappointed when I read this paragraph from the "The Hollywood Reporter"-Review:
Perhaps because the effects work on Strange New Worlds is only average, I wasn’t blown away by any of the episodes that involved somewhat weightless ships and objects flying around in space blasting at each other. Meanwhile, anything depicting character trauma felt flat and prestige-by-the-numbers. But when Strange New World keeps things light — a description that doesn’t preclude plots set among warring races or potentially planet-ending cataclysms — the series is a pleasure and makes up for any CGI limitations with top-notch makeup, costuming and production design.
I almost expected it, because the highlighted section is also my main problem with the CGI work on Discovery and Picard. The Ship-CGI that Pixomondo deliverys just never looks quite right to me. The ships often appear to not have any weight or physicality to them. In comparison "The Expanse" looks a lot better when it comes to Ship-CGI. I already wasn't to taken bei the CGI-Enterprise for the "Strange New Worlds" Title Credits, that was released last week and it appears, that the show itself won't be much better in that regard. We'll know in a few hours for sure, but this has me a little bit less excited about the show.
