Section 31 director promises a "wild ride that is still Star Trek"

As a seasoned gamer and Star Trek enthusiast with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I must say that the anticipation for Section 31 is palpable. Having watched Michelle Yeoh gracefully maneuver through the galaxy since her days as the Emperor of the Terran Empire, I’m eager to see what she has in store for us in this highly anticipated film.


The movie on Paramount+ streaming channel, titled Section 31 and starring Michelle Yeoh, is scheduled for release on January 24, 2025. This movie has been generating a lot of buzz recently. Michelle Yeoh, who won an Academy Award while playing the Emperor of the Terran Empire, has always shown her talent as an actor and will be crucial in attracting viewers to this film.

Initially portrayed as a villain, Philippa Georgiou gradually won over viewers by developing a tender side for Michael Burnham from an alternate universe [played by Shonequa Martin-Green], impressing them with her sharp wit, biting sarcasm, and exceptional combat skills. The upcoming movie promises to showcase all these qualities. According to director Olatunde Osunsanmi, the film offers much more than just a thrilling journey alongside the Emperor.

Well, if you want a wild ride that is jaw-dropping, has twists and turns, blows your socks off, characters that are doing things that maybe they shouldn’t do, plus a little bit of Starfleet with Rachel in there, that is still Star Trek, then this is the movie for you. It’s great. We get in and out and we surprise a lot of people with it and then we keep it moving. So I’m really hoping people like it.

It’s not surprising that the film, which received negative feedback from many fans based on its trailer, contains unexpected events and characters acting out of character, given it revolves around a once-secret Starfleet division that is no longer hidden.

Regardless of what the director has to say about the movie, fans will have the final say, and that say could affect the future of Star Trek films at Paramount+. For that reason alone, most of us are hoping the movie delivers everything Osunsanmi promises and more.
