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

The intro wasn't extraordinarily terrible, until you learn they choose the leader of an empire from some fight to the death stupidity. As a non Star Trek movie it might be hilariously bad.

This had so much potential if the writers got fired. The sets, music, actors and graphics were great. But the story. It was worse than chatgpt 2. I have never been so disappointed with a movie, and thats saying a lot. I was compelled to sign up for this after 20 years of lurking, this movie was so bad I had to. The ending was the only thing worse than the story. Lets organise a campaign to get the writer the help they need: coherence.

I finally got around to watching this movie and up until the last 5 minutes I thought it was about 2 stars but now it gets a resounding -10!! Why? Because of that god awful cameo by who I believe is a stuck up, self-centered, old geezer, b*tch. That being that crusty c**t Curtis!!! Blah!! She couldn't act to save her horrid life.

I love Star Trek and I am a huge Michelle Yeoh fan. I thought she could do no wrong but somehow she failed to say no to this misguided hack. It pains me to say how painful it was to watch this movie. Even if you accept that it was not scifi and really just a wannabe Mission Impossible, the script was just so bad. The editing, pacing, and plot confusion did just as much damage. How did a movie with no redeeming qualities happen? Was this really the work of a director or did some committee step in and force this rough beast into the world?

Just a mis- match of ideas & plots that basically go no where. Weak action, weak plot around some know substance that has power. It just became a boring TV movie that adds nothing to anything specific. The only good thing that saves this movie is Michelle Yeoh, who's role is wasted on this mess. Forgeable Sci-fi movie in the worst way.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
