Star Trek: Section 31 disappoints critics with underwhelming reviews despite Michelle Yeoh's return. Critics felt the movie was poorly executed, with bad acting, cringeworthy dialogue, and dated content. Despite the anticipation for a compelling plot exploring Section 31, fans were left disappointed by the film.

What was once in development as a TV show packs quite a bit into a feature film. Star Trek: Section 31 brings Michelle Yeoh back in her Discovery role of Philippa Georgiou, working alongside, albeit reluctantly, the black ops unit.

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.
