IMO, the ST films that have worked best were closure stories.
It does not lend itself as well to a film franchise without the tapestry of its backstory, and an end to the tale.
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."
(All-New Wolverine #4)
My main problems with Discovery are how it's too melodramatic and the stories are never resolved in a satisfactory way
