It shouldn't have to take that long just to see a movie.
One thing is killing my eyes. "Children of Mars" is lined between end of Nemesis and end of that century. We all know that okudagrams - LCARS were part of Federation from starship systems to school systems and interfaces. Well I noticed in trailer "Children of Mars" that there are no LCARS-i and sorry I can't forgive that. This looks like Discovery-TOSEnterprise era interface, and that is not possible and has no logic.
24th century United Federation of Planets has one trademark, and one trademark only. That trademark is LCARS.
Why did they do this? #disappointed

Maybe that's her preferred illumination, more befitting to her alien physiology? I know I keep my device screens at the lowest illumination possible because it's much easier on my eyes that way.I get that holographic interfaces are cool and futuristic, but can they render a darker background that's easier on the eye?

Also other than being on a transprent screen, I'm not seeing the resemblance with Discovery's computers screens in the UI.

That interface is sexy. Very nice detail in an trailer that otherwise was offputting for me.
Looks like they are civilians, probably not everyone in the Federation uses LCARS, and if it is after Nemesis, then a change may have occurred.
Yeah it had some curves.
It’s still LCARS, but version 10 came out and did away with the start menu
I don't really see it as disruptive, since the stuff with the ads is specifically structured in order to account for the ads. I usually think of it like book, with each commercial break being the end of a chapter.
I use the pause button for stuff that doesn't have commercials, but if I'm trying to watch something within a specific amount of time, then that tends to stretch things out past the alotted time. With shows with ads it'll usually be a specific amount of time, and I don't have to worry about going past it.
That's why America has an obesity problem! XDI don't watch the ads. I talk to people and get a snack...
Mileage will vary, clearly.
10 snacks per hour!
And watching too much TV
So my final’ish thoughts on the attack on Mars seen in the various trailers.
The Romulans are attacking Mars by hijacking the planet’s own defences.
Reasoning:
In the prequel comic the Federation is building a rescue fleet at Mars, and some Romulans don’t believe it is an actual rescue fleet but an invasion fleet. A group of Romulans manage to hijack Picard’s flagship using its own computer.
In the trailers we see kite shaped ships with starfleet logos on them attacking Mars. So I think the Romulans hijacked those ships/drones the same way they hijacked Picard’s ship in the comic.

There is no pessimism quite like cautious pessimism.
Not only that, but they are using DSC Shuttlecraft still, seen in the latest teaser. I'm guessing the producers are going to tell us nitpickers 'not to worry about it'. But I can't....you can't use another shuttle design from 170 years ago and think it should still be used in service.
I don’t see why not. As long as long as the shuttle is properly maintained. There’s nothing in the Star Trek lore saying this is impossible.
It’s also being used as a civilian transport, it might not even go into space. Old military hardware being repurposed isn’t unheard of.
Who knows what kind of post-space age materials are being used in these shuttles.
Also it’s only 140’ish years not 170.
