As far as I’m concerned, there’s no reason that the world of “Star Trek” can’t find room for a big dumb action movie, and I wish that the new streaming feature film “Star Trek: Section 31” were a bit bigger and a bit dumber, which would probably make it more fun to watch.

Even so, the Paramount Plus spin-off starring Michelle Yeoh as her “Star Trek: Discovery” character Emperor Philippa Georgiou has its entertaining moments. It's mainly constrained by being stuck in an awkward middle ground between current “Star Trek” TV and the franchise’s tradition of expansive theatrical releases.
