Low Poly models, Crappy Low Res Textures, Crappy Lighting, Crappy animation, any combination of what I listed.
My eyes are bad. Nothing looks like balloons.
Nothing wrong with my eyes, TV, tablet, or bandwidth. No balloons to be seen anywhere.
My only complaint about the VFX so far is in one of the shots when Pike was riding his horse near the windmills. When the vantage point is spinning around, it seemed to me that rate of rotation of the mountain range in the distance did not match up with the rate of rotation of the rolling hills leading off to it.
(For the record, this is around 5:11/54:45)

the models and textures are usually pretty great, actually, it’s the awful lighting that makes them look crappy. And then moving like a videogame from twenty years ago doesn’t help either.
there is also a weird camera effect on the bridge at the end, when Pike is talking.
Amyway…windmills? When they supposedly have matter/antimatter reactors?
Every time a windmill turns, a positron gets its things.
Free Renewable Energy will be here with us from now to the end of days.
You think that's bad, he's using a horse when they have shuttles!
I espied him making pancakes from scratch when he could have used a food synthesizer, beamed one in if it wasn't already there.
You mean, they acted like normal people instead of a Millenial/Zoomer?
As a zoomer, I take offence.
Well they are both bubbles of air.
Except that the energy produced by such installation hardly justifies the environmental impact in the 23rd century, when energy is plentiful.
Nowadays? Go for it.
Buildibg windmills isn’t likely to be someone’s hobby.
Are the models low res? Or is there poor texturing and worse lighting?
I think part of it is the cgi models move too fast. I'm thinking of the Romulan telepresence ship in Enterprise especially. We expect something heavy to move and turn slowly. However, with inertial dampers, perhaps that would be a common uncanny valley effect.
Re: the windmills. Maybe they're historic windmills from the 21st century that they kept around for tourists the way Colonial Williamsburg keeps around an old bakery.
Could be.
My apologies, but I've seen too many young people just communicate via their SmartPhones instead of talking to each other, even though they are literally right next to each other.
