Star Trek: Section 31

The only reason to call this a Star Trek movie is because they mention Starfleet several times. The cartoonish characters actually belong on Lower Decks, not in this mess. The story is rushed, the peril ridiculous and you get no time to process anything. Every alien species is brand new, with no chance for character development, other than their simplistic special abilities.

Michelle Yeoh is always good as Philippe Georgiou, but not as the lead character. She needs a moral foil to her narcissistic anrrogance and that's completely missing without someone like Michael Burnham.

This is obviously a pilot for a series that never happened... and that's a good thing. They need to stick with Starfleet stories.

I thought only Star Wars was captured by Disney, but now it seems they also made a Star Trek movie.

The movie would be a single episode long if they wouldn't explain every obvious thing in detail all the time.

The characters are awful crafted. Just like in these "parodies" (whrere they all love each others very much *winkwink).

Never expected that section 31 would be a clown show instead of a special Starfleet unit.

The longer you watch it, the more brain cells you lose. Don't worry if you watched several cat videos on Tiktok during the movie, they'll explain what you missed every 15 minutes with nice flashbacks. So you can follow the "story" even when you're brain dead.

The visuals are nice but cheap. Reminds me of some low budged independent creations 10 years ago.

It's okay maybe, if you don't expect Star Trek.

This isn't just the worst Star Trek Movie; it is also the worst Star Trek based show in the Star Trek Universe.

The story is weak, the acting is terrible, there aren't enough expletives to express how poor the overall satisfaction rating is.

I'm genuinely trying to not include any spoilers in this review, there's also a part of me that wants to, just to spare you (dear reader) the pain of having to endure what I just did, which was this tragedy.

Having said all that, if you have absolutely nothing to do; and I mean absolutely nothing, then why not put this on whilst you ebd up playing on your phone instead.

Seriously, I had high hopes for this 'movie' but it was a complete waste of time. Unlikeable characters, bad acting, and in my eyes the complete opposite of what Section 31 was about. I love all things Trek, but this was embarrassing to watch 😫

Once you get past the lens flares, the set designs and style are quite good, but it all comes back to the plot, and I know I said it before but the characters... they just ruined it for me. The seriously bad Irish accent?? Why??

Definitely a rushed idea pushed through while we wait for the new series of Strange New Worlds. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Please!

As a massive Star Trek fan, I am deeply disappointed by the continued involvement of Olatunde Osunsanmi in directing Star Trek projects. His work on Discovery fundamentally missed what makes Star Trek special, and now he is repeating those same disastrous choices with Section 31. Even with a talented cast, he has dragged the franchise down with juvenile, uninspired ideas that already failed in Discovery.

This feels like a betrayal of what Star Trek stands for. Osunsanmi has managed to do the exact opposite of what Jon Favreau accomplished with Star Wars-instead of revitalising the franchise, he has dragged it into mediocrity. The result is not just a disappointment, but an embarrassment to the legacy of Star Trek.
