Trek is a Wreck: Alex Kurtzman’s ‘Section 31’ Boldly Goes Nowhere

From a devoted Star Trek enthusiast’s perspective, Kurtzman’s “NuTrek” has repeatedly strayed from the core essence of what made Star Trek iconic – its hopeful portrayal of humanity’s future.

The latest installment, “Section 31,” unfortunately continues down this misguided path, offering a “spyfy” escapade that feels more like a poorly executed video game adaptation than a genuine Star Trek production. The dialogue is painfully cheesy, with characters uttering outdated catchphrases that land with a thud. Even the remarkable Michelle Yeoh’s acting skills can’t rescue this misfire.
