Paramount+ Unveils Star Trek: Section 31 – A Direct-to-Streaming Film
Hot on the heels of Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount+ has released a new Star Trek movie directly to its streaming platform. Clocking in at approximately 100 minutes, this 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 critic gave the film a harsh 2/10 rating, citing potential fan outrage and a general lack of appeal for non-fans, noting Yeoh's action sequences as the only redeeming quality.
Intrigued despite the mixed reviews? Here’s where to find it and more information about the film.
