ST needs new blood. For whatever reason Berman really tried to kill the franchise.
I think one of the problems was that TNG stars were tired of it and stopped truly caring.
As far as the series go I truly liked Voyager and Enterprise (which should have been given more time). I never liked Deepspace9 it was a horrid Babylon5 wannabe and TNG jumped the shark when they started getting too reliant on the Holodeck and there was more psychodrama then action. Psychodrama and making statements have their place but..... not every show.
I think when Roddenberry died and Berman took over he just didn't share the vision and wanted to turn Trek into his baby and forget Roddenberry.
I think this new project has possibilities, but I don't want to see it being an adult Harry Potteresque type movie.
What they should do is follow someone new through Starfleet Academy and then go from there. You could bring back some of TNG cast as professors, spend the first half showing the kid as building this "kid" as the rebel who is damn good but lives by emotion and chance. Then move him into space as the wunderkind who makes a horrid mistake and tries to save the day.
I just described Top Gun...... fuck..... what do I know.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
