Paramount+ Releases Star Trek: Section 31 – A Direct-to-Streaming Film
Following the success of Star Trek: Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount+ has premiered a new Star Trek film directly on its streaming platform. Clocking in at approximately 100 minutes, the special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, from Star Trek: Discovery, and her involvement with the clandestine Starfleet division, Section 31.
Critical reception has been mixed, with some reviews less than enthusiastic. One review gave the film a dismal 2/10, citing potential to infuriate longtime fans and bore others. However, Yeoh's action sequences were praised as a highlight.
