Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek film, Star Trek: Section 31, directly to its streaming service, arriving hot on the heels of Lower Decks and ahead 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 has been mixed, with some reviews less than enthusiastic. One notable review gave the film a dismal 2/10, citing potential to infuriate longtime fans and bore others. However, Yeoh's action sequences are highlighted as a positive element.
