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 centered on Michelle Yeoh's character from *Star Trek: Discovery*, Philippa Georgiou, and the secretive Starfleet division, Section 31. This 100-minute special delves into Georgiou's journey as she navigates her role in this covert organization.
However, the film has received a lukewarm reception from critics. In a scathing 2/10 review from 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 intrigued to see Michelle Yeoh in action or to explore this addition to the *Star Trek* universe. If you're considering watching *Star Trek: Section 31* online, here's where you can find it.
