I think they've made a mistake but not having the show take place after Next Gen/Voyager or in the Abrams-verse. They've handcuffed themselves into the expectation that everything should look older than a 50 year old show. I don't want the Klingons to look like they did on the original series. Even the Next Gen Klingon stuff was cheesy as hell sometimes.
They have all these new methods of creating badass costumes and visuals they couldn't before but they look out of place because we're expecting the tech and species to look pre-original series.
