Nah, 9/11 killed the detached and enui filled stories from gen x office workers about how boring and fake and easy their lives were like The Matrix (1999) and Fight Club (1999). After that it either got cheesy/didactic/preachy/patriotic like Transformers/AVP/iRobot or Dark and Edgy like The Bourne Trilogy, Dark Knight, Children of Men, etc.
Utopian scifi was long dead at this point, Star Trek was killed with the Soviet Union.

It was good but not utopian at any point and if i get a dollar for every time i heard "latinum" there i would have more dollars than i ever had.
DS9 is also not utopian or the same tone as the originals
