I'm not sure how this project got green-lit, and why it was made. There are fans who get excited when any rumor of an entry into the Star Trek franchise picks up as press leak. People are lined up for a Star Trek Beyond sequel with Chris Pine, Karl Urban. Zoe Saldana, etc. On the whisper of a production. And yet, I hadn't heard of this film until I had read there was a Star Trek movie going straight into streaming. Why, how bad could it be?
Just finished watching it on Paramount+, and what a waste of a decent cast. Michelle Yeoh is back as Phillippa Georgiou. And she might be leading a good cast, but the writing is so bad it's difficult to know if they are any good. All of them chew up the scenery and pretend they are acting.
The plot revolves around a weapon ordered made by Empress Phillippa Georgiou as a deterrent to any attempted overthrow of her rule. But the weapon has been taken, and a team from Star Fleet, Section 31, has been dispatched to recover it.
We are treated to a lot of phaser fire, explosions, and the need to uncover a mole on the team. If you are desperate to watch anything with Star Trek in the title, then you will grit your teeth and watch.
