It's a fine excuse to occasionally watch Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh kick things, but Section 31 is otherwise a deeply incurious squandering of Star Trek potential.

This made-for-streaming Star Trek adventure starring Michelle Yeoh is an exhausting gallop of nonstop chatter and nonhuman abilities.

It’s a fun vibe that gives the entire cast a chance to ham things up, but whenever Section 31 slows down to zoom in on Georgiou’s inner turmoil, you can sense how much more substance there could have been to these characters if they were fleshed out over the course of a series.

Star Trek: Section 31 might be the weirdest Star Trek movie ever made.

Star Trek: Section 31 will be released directly on Paramount Plus, which is home to most other entries in the sci-fi franchise, from The Original Series to more recent efforts like Discovery and Lower Decks. Paramount Plus is available from £4.99 per month in the UK – subscribe via Amazon or subscribe via Sky.

Star Trek is boldly going where no chapter of this long-running franchise has gone before with Section 31, a Michelle Yeoh-starring vehicle that takes place in the "lost era" set between the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
