Star Trek is boldly going where no chapter of this long-running franchise has gone before with Section 31, a Michelle Yeoh-starring vehicle that takes place in the "lost era" set between the original series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. But fourteen films in, it feels like this latest effort is lost in more ways than one.
It's been six years since Section 31 was first announced, developing at a pace that's very much warp factor 10 (if we were in the Mirror Universe rather than real life). What started out as a spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery eventually became a movie – the franchise's first film developed for streaming – after COVID-related delays set Section 31 on a new trajectory. What's always remained consistent throughout all this though is Yeoh's involvement, which the entire project hinges on.
