I have a theory that this movie was cobbled together out of what they could before covid stopped production and before Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar. when it was still a series that’s why it’s effect and adr riddled. They had to build their story out of what they had. I bet they couldn’t afford for her to come back. I could be wrong did she do any marketing for the movie. I only saw kurtzman and the director. When he made that statement that basically undermined the whole premise of star trek.
