GamesRadar+ Verdict
Star Trek: Section 31 doesn’t know what it wants to be.
Whatever it is, it doesn’t work half as well as it should.
But fourteen films in, it feels like this latest effort is lost in more ways than one.
Not exactly your gran’s Star Trek then.
But that in of itself isn’t an issue.
Yet that longing quickly passed once Section 31 jumps to the “present”.
In fact, their limited banter can even grate at points, forcing humour where it doesn’t work.
For some, that isn’t Star Trek at all, but they’d be wrong.
The problem is that this so-called risk doesn’t really pay off here.
That’s also true of the action sequences, which are nowhere near as visceral as they could be.
Let’s just hope Section 31 doesn’t stick around as long as that beloved animated spin-off did though.
Star Trek: Section 31 will be available to watch on Paramount Plus on Friday, January 24.
