Following the success of "Lower Decks" and with the anticipation building for "Strange New Worlds Season 3," Paramount has released a new straight-to-streaming Star Trek movie. This roughly 100-minute special dives deeper into Michelle Yeoh's character from "Star Trek: Discovery," Philippa Georgiou, and her involvement with the secretive Starfleet division known as Section 31. However, this latest addition to the Star Trek universe has received mixed reviews. In his 2/10 review for IGN, critic Jordan Hoffman states, "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 lukewarm reception, if you're intrigued by the prospect of seeing Michelle Yeoh in action or simply want to decide for yourself, here's how you can watch "Star Trek: Section 31" online:
