I can’t recommend it either way, I can’t immerse myself in it because I can’t see the meta commentary it is on that point in time. It was released in September 2001 meaning it was written and filmed prior to the September 11th terrorist attack. So it really showcases the attitudes people had for the future immediately prior to and following the attacks.
In the series, before the zindi arc, while the crew of the Enterprise are meeting aliens, they can usually find common ground and resolve the conflict. Once the zindi arc starts, suddenly there are new aliens that are existentially different than the crew. The whole zindi arc is literally the trauma of September 11th, playing out on screen, in space. I can’t suspend disbelief enough to really enjoy it.
