It would be understandable to describe “Space Seed” as a prequel to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, given the way that film looms large in the franchise’s history. But there’s a reason that Nicholas Meyer chose Khan as the TOS villain to bring back for a movie. It’s because “Space Seed” is a really, really good episode of Star Trek.

This made-for-streaming Star Trek adventure starring Michelle Yeoh is an exhausting gallop of nonstop chatter and nonhuman abilities.

Watching the "Star Trek" movies in order of release also places them in proper continuity order, since the original cast handed off the film series to the "Next Generation" cast in 1994 after the final episode of "The Next Generation," and the reboot movies follow their own continuity that branches off from the main timeline.

Michelle Yeoh is fun to watch in "Star Trek's" first TV movie, but the series-turned-film is a tonal mish-mash that feels stranded on the verge of something that will never come.

It's a fine excuse to occasionally watch Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh kick things, but Section 31 is otherwise a deeply incurious squandering of Star Trek potential.

Section 31′ is an exciting science fiction film that offers fans a thrilling new chapter in the ‘Star Trek’ universe. It focuses on the secretive world of Section 31, a shadowy organization within Starfleet tasked with safeguarding the United Federation of Planets through covert operations.
