Following the success of Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount has released a new Star Trek movie directly to streaming. This 100-minute special, titled "Star Trek: Section 31," expands on the character of Philippa Georgiou, portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, and delves into the secretive Starfleet division known as Section 31.
However, the film has received a lukewarm reception from Star Trek enthusiasts. In a scathing 2/10 review from IGN, critic Jordan Hoffman states, “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, if you're intrigued by Michelle Yeoh's performance or simply curious about the film, here's how you can watch "Star Trek: Section 31" online.
