Following the success of "Lower Decks" and in anticipation of "Strange New Worlds" Season 3, Paramount has released a new Star Trek movie available exclusively on streaming platforms. This 100-minute special delves deeper into the story of Michelle Yeoh's character from "Star Trek: Discovery," Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the secretive Starfleet division known as Section 31.
However, the film has received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. In a scathing 2/10 review for IGN, critic Jordan Hoffman stated, "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 criticism, the allure of Michelle Yeoh's performance might still draw viewers curious to see if the film lives up to its hype or falls short.
