It's enjoyable enough and fits nicely into the "Star Trek" canon. And Michelle Yeoh... never fails to entertain.

It is sloppy, misguided, and frankly rote, overstuffed with concepts that it only superficially explores.

While it’s now unavoidably and unfortunately canon, let’s hope Section 31 was just a stumble on the way to better and bolder things. If this is what the Federation’s underbelly really looks like, I’d rather it stayed in the dark.

A dead end that goes boldly where no one wanted to go before…for good reason.

It’s hard to ignore the extent to which Star Trek: Section 31, the franchise’s first new film in over a decade, feels distinctly alien from the rest of the Star Trek franchise.

I came here to watch Michelle Yeoh kick butt, and kick butt, she did. So, I got my money’s worth. I love Georgiou, the good and the bad versions, so being able to see her again was a delight.

Really, zero stars. Horrible acting. Horrible writing. It makes Michelle Yeo look bad! Got through 15 minutes of it.

Let’s start with the obvious: Michelle Yeoh shines in anything she does. That’s just fact at this point. Whether you love or hate Emperor Georgiou, you can’t deny Yeoh absolutely owns the screen every time she steps into that role. And that’s really the thing — Georgiou has always been a divisive character. You either lean into the chaos and moral ambiguity, or you reject it outright. There’s rarely a middle ground. Section 31 has always been about colouring outside the lines. That’s the whole reason it exists. It operates in the grey, in the morally uncomfortable spaces Starfleet pretends it doesn’t need. So if the film feels edgier or less idealistic, that’s kind of the point.

If you love watching an amazing franchise being destroyed by morons and hacks you'll love this pile of trash. Used to love the concept of section 31, then you’ll really hate what the low IQ writers and actors did in this "film". Michelle Yo should retire
