Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek film, Star Trek: Section 31, directly to its streaming service, 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 Starfleet's clandestine Section 31.
Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviews panning the film. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave it a harsh 2/10, citing its potential to frustrate longtime fans and bore newcomers. However, Yeoh's action sequences are highlighted as a positive aspect.
