Section 31 should have been an light profits : Oscar - winner Michelle Yeoh in a Star Trek spinoff actioner . or else , it ’s a wrongheaded catastrophe .
Section 31 is a Total Waste of “Dommy Mommy” Michelle Yeoh
Philippa Georgiou became a fan pet onStar Trek : Discoveryafter the most knotty origin : she ’s an evil genocidal empress of the Terran Empire from the Mirror Universe , where everyone good in the normal creation is evil and the counterpart of the virgin Starfleet captain and mentor toDiscoveryheroine Micheal Burnham that the latter had gotten killed . depose and brought to the normal universe , Empress Georgiou was an amoral , red castaway with a faint center on redemption and an abiding heart for Burnham , recruited into Section 31 , the amoral opprobrious ops partitioning of Starfleet . She became democratic because Michelle Yeoh played her as a camp , vampish " dommy ma " who flirted with everyone , especially Burnham , and was as likely to have sex activity with her as down her in the most creepy Freudian surrogate female parent - daughter human relationship that weaken the earnestness ofStar Trekwith an bound of obstinate transgressiveness .
Well , after an initial innovation where Yeoh seemed to be having playfulness vamping , the rest of Section 31 turns her into a lamentable sack , emo - ing over her desire for redemption and being dull because the plot anticipate for it , which is already the incorrect originative decisiveness . Nobody desire to view a fun eccentric be Debby Downer , but that seems to be the nonpayment of screenwriters who do n’t have any fresh idea . fan loved the character because she was cute , lethal , and five steps beforehand of everyone in the room . It was like the writers of this movie never read that brief or saw her scenes inStar Trek : Discovery .
The “Secret Invasion” of Star Trek Shows
A Bad Movie is Not the Actors' Fault
The Worst Misstep of Section 31
The most ridiculous and wrongheaded decisiveness ofSection 31was to make us believe Georgiou is a stinky combatant after she showed her skills in Discovery and the fact that she ’s played by Yeoh . audience want to see her kick ass – that ’s her entire appealingness ! – yet the book wants us to think she keeps engender her fundament kick and fought to a deadlock by enemies who are obviously less skilled than she is ! Michelle Yeoh ’s 1980s Hong Kong legal action movies were a lot more sport and shorter than this , and the catering budget forSection 31could have paid for five of them . Nobody place out to make a forged film . There are too many people , too much money and too many resources spent on any of them . That leaves me wondering what plump wrong withSection 31 . Was it too many chef with too much money that killed creativity ? Is it fun to save a review article this long , poking out at everything terrible and wrong about a movie ? Absolutely , but why are you read this far ? Does it give you katharsis or feel you ’re not alone , or do you require to be evoke if you discord ? It ’s all good , even when a movie is bad .
Section 31is streaming onParamount+ .
