Paramount+ Releases Star Trek: Section 31 – A Direct-to-Streaming Film
Following the success of Star Trek: Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount+ has unveiled a new Star Trek movie available for streaming. Clocking in at approximately 100 minutes, this special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, from Star Trek: Discovery, and her involvement with Section 31, Starfleet's clandestine division.
Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviews less than enthusiastic. One critic gave the film a dismal 2/10 rating, citing potential fan outrage and a general lack of appeal for non-fans. However, Yeoh's performance and fight choreography are highlighted as potential saving graces.
