Section 31 Is a Mediocre Action Movie, and an Even Worse Star Trek One

The new Star Trek movie, Section 31 , is about a black ops spy organization first introduced in Deep Space Nine .

Starring Michelle Yeoh as her Discovery character Philipa Georgiou , it trades inquisitiveness about its world and the organization it’s named for to instead enshroud itself in a slick, but ultimately hollow sci-fi aesthetic.

Not once does the film engage with the controversial legacy of Section 31 in Star Trek history.

The film ticks off a series of spy-fi genre tropes, from betrayals to subterfuge and interrogation.

Its pacing is awkward and jarring, moving from one moment to the next quick enough to never let the film sit with its characters or the stakes of the plot to have anything meaningful to convey.

A movie that comes in just under two hours probably shouldn’t feel like a slog, but Section 31 does.
