AA movie should be able to stand on its own and tell a complete story without virtually anything that you need to know. Every james Bond is able to do this because we all understand he's a spy.

The bigger issue is that almost anyone who's familiar with the underlying source material will know well enough not to watch. This is one of the worst Star Trek characters spun out from the worst Star Trek TV show about the most premise-defiling concept in Star Trek. This is taking a bath in creative toilet water. Their only hope is that the audience doesn't realize what they're watching in advance.
