Um, sorry, one point - "The utopia envisioned by the producers of Star Trek is one in which humans, having survived an apocalyptic war, have overcome racism and prejudice to live peacefully with each other and, with the advent of interstellar space flight, species from other worlds" is not the case, as in the Original Star Trek they had learned to overcome racism and prejudice and live peacefully with each other and so AVOIDED the apocalyptic war. It is only in The Next Generation that they say we had it, the war that is.

Just saw the movie (was afraid to open the thread before!) - 4 stars, I'd say!
