"Star Trek: Section 31" might not be lighting the galaxy on fire for diehard fans and critics, but one can at least appreciate the creative folks involved attempting to deliver something new and having the courage to experiment within the boundaries of the "Star Trek" universe for better and for worse.
Tonally and stylistically, "Section 31" borrows heavily from a number of genres to conjure up the immoral playground that plays host to its unsavory nest of antihero characters. The narrative follows Emperor Philippa Georgiou's (Michelle Yeoh) shaky involvement with Starfleet's secret black ops division as she seeks to rectify some of the sins from her violent past by helping to find a genocidal weapon — ominously called The Godsend — that has ties to her and the Mirror Universe's tyrannical Terran Empire.
