'Star Trek: Section 31' Review: A Big Disappointment
Michelle Yeoh elevates the long-awaited Trek outing but can't save it from nearly slipping into a black hole.
Early on in Star Trek: Section 31, Michelle Yeoh’s crafty Emperor Philippa Georgiou is confronted by a visitor with ties to the Federation. She looks the guy over and purrs: “Starfleet... where fun goes to die.” Great line. Ironically, it acts as a kind of foreshadowing of what viewers — especially Trekkies — might experience while watching this long-awaited offering, which started out as a spin-off series for Star Trek: Discovery then morphed into the movie-event iteration we see here. One would never call Star Trek: Section 31 boring, but it’s not altogether all that fun either. That’s because there’s a vital component missing: Star Trek.
