The latest Star Trek film was recently published, but they may not have noticed it. After all, it was directly released at Paramount+ and not to the theater. In addition, this should originally be a TV series before it was transformed into a film discovery And Lower decks. I had a bad feeling for this film since it was announced, and these feelings have now been validated: with a lazy tomato number of 24 percent ,, Section 31 is officially the second worst Star Trek film ever.
Star Trek Slop
Section 31 Has an action that feels like every bad nutrecic idea was put into a mixer and turned pure slop into an hour and forty minutes. Empress Georgiou has to work together again with section 31, this time to stop a villain from the Mirror universe, which wants to kill everyone in the main universe. She does this with a versatile team that feels like they are out of a bad one Sci-fi Raid film, but the only thing these boys steal is time to see a better film.
To discoveryTilly once “The Power of Math Section 31 Does not fit in compared to other films in the franchise. With 24 percent Lazy tomatoes Score, this new film is hardly ahead of Star Trek V: The last borderWhat has a critical score of 23 percent. For context, The last limit is the most notorious film in the franchise; where Captain Kirk Fights God between the mountains and asks important questions how: “What does God need with a spaceship?”
A tired action
As for the peculiarities of this, what does it Section 31 So bad, let’s start with the plot. It depends on the fact that a manian super villain can destroy the galaxy. This is exactly what everyone Kelvin verses The film boiled and reduced a franchise that is based on the importance of communication and exploration to a boiler plate from “Killing the evil, saving, the day”. To be honest, this repeated action was the worst part of the Kelvin verse films, but they were anchored by a charming and charismatic line -up. Unfortunately, Section 31 is not.
Of course Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh does her best with the terrible material that is given to her, but it is functionally impossible to compare the terrible letter from Section 31 With the pitch perfection writing by Everything everywhere at once. We saw what you can do if you receive an excellent script and the script of this latest Star Trek script is complete terrible. This feels like an immense waste of Yeoh’s talents, even if the film itself seems to be a complete waste of the storytelling of this franchise potential.
The other actors of Section 31 Do their best, but they are hindered by poor characterization … that means that almost everyone feels like semi -baked characters from one Starfinder Campaign with the weak Star Trek connections. There is a augment, a Deltaner and even Rachel Garrett, the future captain of Enterprise C., who is doomed to fail, but the simple fact is that the simple beating of a Star Trek connection to a poorly written character does not make it magical, not Once to the biggest fans.
End this Star Trek -era
Although that discovery Spinoff Starfleet Academy Is around the corner Section 31 Feels like the end of an era that stands out to a large extent of his conspiracy to the controversial insistence on section 31. From the beginning, many fans hated the whole idea of section 31 because it made no sense for the Hippies star fleet to have their own mysterious wet works department.
Now we get a whole film focus Paramount Go all-in something that fans hate instead of giving us more of what we love, like a metaphor for the current state of Star Trek. While I enjoyed something discovery And all of Lower decksIt is clear that the franchise has long been in a downward spiral, especially if these two shows are canceled prematurely. Unfortunately, Section 31 confirms that we have reached the end of the spiral. Star Trek is dead, Jim.
And different than with SpockThere may be no one left that takes enough care to bring this franchise back to life.
