Fresh off the success of Lower Decks and with anticipation building for Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount has surprised fans with a new straight-to-streaming Star Trek movie centered around Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, from Star Trek: Discovery. This special, clocking in at approximately 100 minutes, delves into the secretive world of Starfleet's Section 31 division.
However, the latest addition to the Star Trek timeline has received mixed reviews. In a 2/10 review for IGN, critic Jordan Hoffman expressed strong disappointment, stating, "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 this, fans curious about the film or eager to see Michelle Yeoh in action might still find it worth watching.
