"Perhaps every generation gets the Star Trek it deserves, but are such unsubtle parables about US militarism really all we can ask of our sci-fi cinema these days? Some deepening of the odd-couple bromance between hot-headed Kirk and the even-tempered Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto) provides a little human interest. Or half-human, at least.
But this remnant of the dynamics of the original series only serves to remind us what we have lost: space-age utopianism has given way to post-9/11 insecurity; the science-fiction of ideas has been supplanted by mere bombast and digital spectacle. We're not boldly going anywhere."

Finally! How could I have summed it up better?
Well not much better... but what I want to add, is that I hope it is a new start to reconsider how we want to see our sci-fi, future and our "selfs" in it, in the unknown, the unschärfe beyond beginning and ending of encounters, the phoenix, the fungi, the flash and transfusion of transdecades.

..9/11-society, symbolism, (subconscious) projections, hot-headedness, running/jumping/steam, revenge, worldview and perspectives of state-imperial militaristic terrorism-scare rule, or...
..., or crashing the system of mass projection, its exploitiveness and symbols of fascist militarism;
... or am I only hopeing to be able to see a vague idea of an attempt to re-turn?... or are we realy able to see again differently and beyond!?
...crashing closedmindedness, uninspired (misogynist/sexist/male) action-ego-rush-trips, as well as resentments against voluntarists, anarchists, or at least left utopianism of Star Trek encountering? (See "Star Trek of Gods and men", critique by trekkies,...
..."Chalnoth"...
Trans-acting, trans-porting!
