Star Trek: Section 31 is firing on all cylinders
Paramount Plus’ new Star Trek film: Discovery spinoff movie feels like the start of something better than another series.
Because of delays related to the covid-19 pandemic, Paramount Plus’ Star Trek: Section 31 from director Olatunde Osunsanmi was reworked into a movie rather than a show — a move that gelled with Discovery executive producer Alex Kurtzman’s optimistic vision for further explorations into this era of the franchise. But the goofy way they clash with exoskeleton pilot Zeph (Robert Kazinsky) and human Starfleet officer Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl) often makes this iteration of Section 31 feel more like a Guardians-style group of ragtag misfits than an elite squad of wetworks soldiers. Yeoh is clearly having a ball chewing every bit of scenery she can get her hands on as Section 31 plucks Georgiou out of her club — a place that looks like a glitzy fusion between The Fifth Element ’s Fhloston Paradise and Star Wars ’ Galactic Senate — and drops her into the proverbial deep end.
