Paramount+ Presents Star Trek: Section 31 – A Direct-to-Streaming Adventure

Following the success of Star Trek: Lower Decks and in anticipation of Strange New Worlds Season 3, Paramount+ has released a new Star Trek film directly to its streaming platform. Clocking in at approximately 100 minutes, this special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou, 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 for fan outrage and overall boredom. However, Yeoh's action sequences are highlighted as a positive element.
