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.

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.

While Section 31 does give viewers a little more insight into the Terran Empire and their ruthless customs, the narrative oddly pivots from a strong start...to a more generic outfit unfortunately missing all the hallmark Star Trek elements.

Rated: 2.5/5

TOTALLY agree with Red Letter Media....this has got to be the worst thing ever made and when are Paramount going to ditch Alex Kurtzman....This is NOT Star Trek .... no story no likeable characters...no hopeful positive storyline or under tone. Instead we get 5 million special effects which aren't needed and NO story !!! Come on guys simply DO BETTER AND GO BACK TO WHAT STAR TREK GREAT !!!..

OK ich bin jetzt 45 Jahre alt und Star Trek Fan seit ich meinen ersten Star Trek Film mit 6 Jahren gesehen habe. Mein Sohn ist nach James Tiberius Kirk benannt. Und ich dachte wirklich, dass es nach Discovery nicht weiter bergab gehen kann! Dieser Film hat rein gar nichts mit Star Trek zu tun. Die Handlung ist absoluter Quatsch und die Dialoge könnten glatt aus nem billigen Softporno geklaut worden sein. Wer ist nur iaf die Idee gekommen, dass irgendwem dieser Mist gefallen könnte ? Ein jüngeres Publikums ansprechen? Mit diesem Film? Die denken ja wir Trekkies sind bescheuert. Schickt doch bitte alle die bei der Produktion dieses Meisterwerks beteiligt waren zu Disney. Für Star Wars wäre die Crew sicher ne Bereicherung.

Like many of the Star Trek series that I have had the privilege of reviewing star trek's section 31. Like many others has had its rough start. Some things I like to see change. Sometimes I like to see corrected. What overall it was not terrible at all.It was actually quite good fight.Scenes were solid and action was suspensefull, concidering all things it did quite well, i'm hopeful and anxious to see more episodes of star trek section thirty one, just one criticism the alien did drove the android body two really!?.

As a life long trekkie, I REALLY wanted to like this. I remember when the project was announced as a series: I was VERY excited. But Paramount let me and us all down. The exposition dump at the beginning was awful. Looked like something a youtuber making a drama exposing video would do. Section31 has a fairly well defined lore from previous series (namely DS9) and to completely change it for some campy, cheesy, tired, trope filled made for TV movie was excruciating to watch. Star Trek will hopefully live well past this "era" of ridiculousness.

It's the first time since years I wasn't able to finish a movie, and it's the first time I didn't finish something Star Trek related. Star Trek 5 is a master piece compared to Section 31.

Section 31 is the worst Star Trek ever. Make it go away, please.
