Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek film, Star Trek: Section 31, directly to its streaming platform, 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, a clandestine Starfleet division.
Critical reception, however, has been less than stellar. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave the film a dismal 2/10, citing its potential to frustrate longtime fans while failing to engage others. He praised Yeoh's fight scenes as the movie's only redeeming quality.
Despite the mixed reviews, you might still be curious. If you're considering watching Star Trek: Section 31, here's where to find it:
