Paramount+ unleashes a new Star Trek film, Star Trek: Section 31, directly to its streaming service, hot on the heels of Lower Decks and ahead of Strange New Worlds Season 3. This approximately 100-minute special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's Star Trek: Discovery character, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with Section 31, Starfleet's clandestine division.
Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviews panning the film. IGN's Jordan Hoffman gave it a harsh 2/10, citing potential for fan outrage and general boredom. However, Yeoh's action sequences are highlighted as a positive.
Intrigued despite the negative reviews? Here's where to watch it:

About Star Trek: Section 31
A Star Trek: Discovery spin-off, the film expands on Michelle Yeoh's character arc, following her as an undercover agent within Section 31. Its placement within the Star Trek timeline is somewhat ambiguous, generally falling between the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. The official synopsis: Emperor Philippa Georgiou is tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets while confronting her past actions.
