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 approximately 100-minute special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the clandestine Starfleet division, Section 31.
Critical reception has been less than stellar. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave the film a dismal 2/10, criticizing it for potentially infuriating longtime fans and boring newcomers. He highlighted Yeoh's fight scenes as the only redeeming quality, preventing the movie from receiving an even lower score.
Despite the negative reviews, you might still be curious. If you're considering watching Star Trek: Section 31, here's where to find it:
