The creators & co. wants us to accept the new Star Trek and as such I guess it could be interesting it is kind of hard to judge from the first episode. SFX and prosthetics are better and more convincing while interior of Enterprise doesn't have it usual cozy look like it usualy was for starships in ST, it's more like submarine. Klingons are re-imagined like religious fanatics. It all seems more murky and brooding and you can't expect to see characters like Dr. Hologram any time soon.
But I guess there was one thing that you could admire in "old" shows is that they had their own thing while this new one seems will be influenced by recent drama shows like "Sopranos", "Mad Men" and "Battlestar Galactica".

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
