Possibly. The problem is that the founders decided to bake in armed revolt as a safe guard instead if, you know, reasonable solutions.

It’s better Trek than most Trek, IMO. Had some cool adventures and raised some interesting on sometimes difficult questions about morality and how it’s shaped by our societies.

I don’t think this at all. It’s a very dense movie, but I don’t think it suffered for it, and if anything actually enhanced the message that a lot of social expectations are murky and arbitrary.

I’m planning on seeing it again.

I just treat most people like 16 year Olds and it tends to work out pretty well.

I thought the movie was exceedingly clever and is a shining example of how sometimes a message is more about what it doesn’t say that what it does.

That being said, the movie is definitely a rorschach test and you will see what you are primed to believe reflected in it.
