Right off the heels of Lower Decks, and as we gear up for the release of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount has released a straight-to-streaming Star Trek movie. This roughly 100-minute special focuses on Michelle Yeoh’s character from Star Trek: Discovery, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the secretive Starfleet division, Section 31.
Unfortunately, for fans of the Star Trek franchise, this new addition to the timeline has not been well-received. In his 2/10 review for IGN, critic Jordan Hoffman states, “Section 31 will infuriate Star Trek fans and bore everyone else… Michelle Yeoh has a moment here and there where she shows off a cool fight move, and that’s the only thing keeping the movie from getting a 1, our lowest score.”
Despite the negative feedback, you might be curious about the film or drawn to it for Michelle Yeoh's performance. If you're considering watching Star Trek: Section 31 online, here are the details you need.
