Following the success 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 titled *Star Trek: Section 31*. This roughly 100-minute special focuses on Michelle Yeoh's character from *Star Trek: Discovery*, Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the secretive Starfleet division, Section 31.
However, the film has received mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. In a scathing 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 harsh critique, fans might still be curious to see if the film is as bad as reported or if Michelle Yeoh's performance is worth watching.
