Star Trek: Section 31 Review – A Lifeless Plot Drags Down Michelle Yeoh’s Discovery Spin-Off
In essence, Section 31 operates as a covert task force within Starfleet, handling assignments that the organization prefers to keep under wraps due to their unsavory nature. This film sees Section 31 collaborating with Empress Philippa Georgiou (Yeoh), a former ruler of the Terran Empire who now hides from public view following her reign as a tyrant. This diverse ensemble, comprising renegades and ex-tyrants alike, must join forces to save the universe. Here’s the catch: while in power, Philippa ordered the development of a weapon capable of destroying entire worlds, the Godsend, to ensure no one else could control the empire should she be overthrown. However, as fate would have it, the weapon has fallen into the wrong hands. To reclaim it, Philippa must face her past demons head-on.
