Kacey Rohl's Lt. Rachel Garrett is one of the best characters in Star Trek: Section 31, and the film deserves a sequel just for her.

Regardless of how you ultimately feel about the tone Section 31 goes for—which definitely leans hard into trying to be cool and cynically jokey a lot of the time—and perhaps even regardless of how threadbare most of the primary cast is treated by Section 31 ‘s script,

This made-for-streaming Star Trek adventure starring Michelle Yeoh is an exhausting gallop of nonstop chatter and nonhuman abilities.

Much ire towards Section 31 is directed at its lack of inclusion of familiar Star Trek tropes. Rachel Garrett had to get as far as the Baram. Though she was incognito, she was still Starfleet. Why not hitch a ride on the Quadrant's most dependable space-taxi - the USS Crazy Horse?

It's a fine excuse to occasionally watch Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh kick things, but Section 31 is otherwise a deeply incurious squandering of Star Trek potential.

An incoming holographic transmission arrives from the secret unit's Section 31 director delivering their next dangerous mission and destination. This Control character is played by Michelle Yeoh's good friend and "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" colleague Jamie Lee Curtis!

Section 31 is not a movie people like. We won't know anytime soon, if ever, how it performed with regards to the total amount of people who watched, or how it did with total hours streamed but we do know fans haven't been happy with it.

Section 31 introduces a villain from Emperor Georgiou's past, but something doesn't add up when it comes to the movie's timeline.
