Hot on the heels of *Star Trek: Lower Decks* and in anticipation of *Strange New Worlds* Season 3, Paramount has released a new straight-to-streaming Star Trek movie. This roughly 100-minute special, titled *Star Trek: Section 31*, delves deeper into Michelle Yeoh's character from *Star Trek: Discovery*, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the secretive Starfleet division known as Section 31.
Unfortunately, the film has received less than stellar reviews from critics. In his 2/10 review for IGN, critic Jordan Hoffman stated, “*Section 31* will infuriate *Star Trek* fans and bore everyone else… Michelle Yeoh has a moment here and there where she shows off a cool fight move, and that’s the only thing keeping the movie from getting a 1, our lowest score.” Despite the negative feedback, the allure of Michelle Yeoh's performance might still be enough to draw fans to watch *Star Trek: Section 31* online. If you're considering giving it a chance, here are the details on how and where to stream it.
