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.

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.

As pretty as the visuals are, the rest of it's fairly thin, but the fact that it's all about Michelle Yeoh makes it work.

Its failings are particularly frustrating given the potential of having Georgiou — an interesting, complex character portrayed by the wonderful Yeoh — star in her own series.

Didn't once feel like a star trek movie, for an avengers rip off. Visuals was good though.

Someone thought "hey suicide squad in space, neat idea" and for some reason it got greenlit. Honestly this movie undid all of our terrain emperors character growth in favour of slapstick comedy visuals and random tech ideas. Few of the characters were redeemable. Section 31 is supposed to make the morally bankrupt decisions, but there was little to no thought about anything that went on in this movie. It was just another discovery style "massive scarifying threat! Oh no!" But without the heart, character growth and likability of the discovery crew. Honestly the lot of them needed a good hard quantum torpedo strike and a starfleet redacted file on the incident.

The movie was pretty good. Loved the call back to TOS Aliens. Definitely better than most of the original movies. This should have been a TV Show not a movie. Also should have leaned into section 31 instead of a Cpt Gorgio movie.

One star and that is kind. The story is severely sloppy and feels just like one long episode.

Not a very good story, entertaining but certainly one of my least favourite star trek movies.
