It's not so much that I think Trek shouldn't be updated as that I think it doesn't need to be in order to justify its central position in SF history. And I think if I'd found the movie more satisfying that even that wouldn't have been a meaningful objection - a good piece of entertainment is worthwhile even if it doesn't feature the first interracial kiss on TV or capture the imagination of an entire generation.
This (http://punkadiddle.blogspot.com/2009/05/star-trek-2009.html) is a really great review of the film that also talks about what made Star Trek (or at least Next Generation and onwards) special that the film is totally missing.
