I thought it was a promising start.
Pilots are often a little meh.
I don't think there's anything wrong with filling in the back-story on Spock's wife. And modern actors and sets are not going to perfectly match TOS.

Uhuru had like 15 seconds of screen time. How can we know how the actor or the writing are going to progress from that small a sample.

I don't think they're going to easily find lookalikes who are also decent actors.

Zoe Saldaña looks nothing like Nichelle Nichols at near the same age, but did a fine job.

For the most part, I didn't have a problem with the casting... I thought many of the actors they chose were on-target. The problem I had was the substitution of crazy camera angles, lens flare, camera shake, running down corridors, sensory overload, and all other manner of nonsense for actual good writing, characterization, and plot. Also, using the names of things from Star Trek without their having any meaning and violating canon left and right. It was one of the Transformers movies except with the label "Star Trek" slapped on it.
