Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek movie, 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 film centers on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with Starfleet's clandestine Section 31.
However, early critical reception suggests this addition to the Star Trek universe might be divisive. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave it a scathing 2/10, criticizing its potential to frustrate long-time fans while failing to engage others. Despite this, Yeoh's action sequences are highlighted as a rare bright spot.
