Just watched the new Star Trek movie on Paramount +.
Section 31
1 hour and 35 minutes.
It’s the A-Team in space.
Visually stunning, with great care given to the space station bar where part of the action takes place, along with some hotel and residence rooms. Some of the ships and other locations were – meh.
The dialog was – terrible.
It really does come across like the A-Team, even with the fate of the quadrant at stake.
I was expecting so much more.
Too much reliance on fight scenes and ‘funny’ quips.
The bad guy was not very deep.
Did I say I was expecting so much more?
Some naysayers have been saying, and will continue to say, they destroyed Star Trek with this, but that’s not going to be true. This is along the lines of ‘Very Short Treks’. A plausible idea that was executed poorly.
They might save the idea of a Section 31 series of short movies, but only if the next one, if there is a next one (and there probably won’t be), is very-very good. Another like this one and we won’t hear from Section 31 for a hundred years or so.
I must say, I was expecting more.
