Fresh off the success of Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount has released a new Star Trek movie, available directly on streaming platforms. This special feature, clocking in at around 100 minutes, delves into the world of Michelle Yeoh's character from Star Trek: Discovery, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the enigmatic Starfleet division, Section 31.
Unfortunately, initial reactions from Star Trek enthusiasts suggest that this addition to the franchise might not live up to expectations. IGN's critic Jordan Hoffman gave it a harsh 2/10, 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 might still be curious about the film or drawn to Yeoh's performance. If you're considering watching Star Trek: Section 31, here's how you can stream it online.
