It i were to write it down, i'd create a thread that asks people to post their observations of neo-con (or dystopic) references in the movie. How phasers looked like tasers, etc. It could be as interesting as with the movie Watchmen, where people posted the fact that the movie 1984 was playing on Ozymandias' screen and so on.
Not only is this unintelligible drivel, it's apparent to me you have an almost 12 year old perspective on life. I'm sorry the quarterback stole your lunch money and your girl, but get over it.

Be careful now, don't forget which forum you're in.

Point taken-my apologies.

I got about a min into it... wow
I have no idea what that person was talking about.
Sounds like Prof. Stephen Hawking upgraded his voice computer.

What has been turned upside down?
So anything that does not depict a perfect universe is not Star Trek? Then I guess there's no such thing as Star Trek.
Deep Space 9 depicted a less-then-perfect Star Trek universe, one where everyone was flawed, including the Federation. Does that make it not-Star Trek? I don't think so. In fact, I think it epitomizes what Star Trek is really about, and that goes for the new movie as well.
Star Trek was always about people overcoming their differences (background, race, religion, sex, you name it) to work together for a better future. Where is that missing from the new movie? Kirk and Spock came from different backgrounds and definitely clashed, but by movie's end, you could already see the birth of their great friendship. And why? Because they overcame their differences to work together.
If you ask me, there was no dystopia depicted. It was a universe with flawed, human characters. What's wrong with that? So in the future, everyone will be perfect and we'll all stand together in one big circle, holding hands and singing "kumbayah"? We didn't even get that in TOS! There was plenty of drama and conflict, because without it, how can we better ourselves? We better ourselves through conflict because it causes us to become better then who we are.
I don't know what movie you watched, but I watched Star Trek, and its title was perfect.

If you're apologising to me, well why? i'm not a mod.
It's true about DS9. What we're seeing here is not simply imperfect people but a somewhat incremental leaning toward a dystopia. As said in the video, when things got bad with Enterprise, instead of coming back they jumped all the way to the other side.
Incrementalism is the frog analogy. If you boil a frog too quickly, it jumps out... but if you slowly raise the temperature, the frog will boil to death without ever moving out.
