Story-wise, it's a disaster. In a misguided effort to improve inclusivity the aspects of the Homeworld story that were broadly appealing have been shoved so far into the background that they're impossible to see. No longer is the world mysterious, otherworldly, or awe-inspiring. It's unfortunately replaced by a poorly executed story about emotions, and vaguely family. Perhaps this angle could have been interesting had it been handled better, but as it is... it's simply trite and distracting.
