Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek film, Star Trek: Section 31, directly to its streaming platform, hot on the heels of Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3. This roughly 100-minute special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with Section 31, Starfleet's clandestine division.
Critical reception, however, has been less than stellar. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave the film a dismal 2/10, criticizing its potential to alienate longtime fans while failing to engage others. He highlighted Yeoh's fight scenes as the only redeeming quality.
Despite the negative reviews, you might still be curious. If you're considering watching Star Trek: Section 31, here's where to find it:
