Space Catitude 🚀<p>Well. I saw "Section 31" (2025).</p><p>Hmm. I went in with the expectation that it would be bad Trek, but possibly a fun movie. </p><p>But, well, it was actually more Trek than I expected, but also a very mediocre movie.</p><p>A LOT of the problem was that it was clearly a concept that relied heavily on snappy dialog -- but the dialog consistently fell flat.</p><p>I feel like a script doctor could've made a BIG difference in a short time. But alas, no.</p><p><a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/SFFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SFFilms</span></a> <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/SciFi2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi2025</span></a> <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a></p>
Carl Shirley<p>Instead of that awful <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a> movie they should have done something with Gary Seven. Starring Pedro Pascal (he’s in everything) and Anya Taylor-Joy. Oh and Wil Wheaton can make an appearance. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AllStarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllStarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AssignmentEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AssignmentEarth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StarTrekProdigy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrekProdigy</span></a></p>
Michael Hanscom<p>So glad they never released the “Very Short Treks” on home video, so my <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> completionist urges don’t have to be at war with the “but they were absolute crap” reality.</p><p>(This may have been triggered by the <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a> Blu-ray arriving today, which is near but not at the nadir of Trek films.)</p>

Steve Dinn 🇨🇦<p>I watched <a href="https://social.dinn.ca/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a> last night I think it was the worst piece of <a href="https://social.dinn.ca/tags/SrarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SrarTrek</span></a> media I've seen so far, and I think I've seen it all.</p>

Gegenwind :antifa:🇺🇳🖖<p>Ich halte die Existenz von <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a> im <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a>-Universum einen Drehbuchtechnisches Fail. Die komplette Schwierigkeit der Sternenflotte an ihre Ethischen Doktrinen gebunden zu sein, ist damit hinüber. Eine Sektion31 hätte doch überhaupt keine Skrupel gehabt einen Khan Noonien Singh zu eliminieren statt wie Kirk ihn auf nen Wüstenplaneten zu verbannen.</p>
Michael Hanscom<p>Example: the <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a> movie (yes, I know, but I’m a sucker) is available for pre-order. But if I go to startrek.com, the Section 31 page doesn’t mention the home media release, and the “shop” in the menu is just stuff, not home media.</p>
๓๏ɭ๏ק๏ɭץ :manjaro: :gnome:<p>What the heck is that? I watched Section 31 today and still don't know whether to laugh or cry. What happened to the Star Trek feeling? This is pure trash.

I’ve seen many worse things and some of the comments about it really are a bit overblown. I mean at least it wasn’t a musical and it was better than most of Discovery and shorter than Picard S2.</p>

Dan Neuman 🇨🇦<p>I'm watching "Section 31" and I hate it. I'm normally pretty relaxed about films, but this one is so over the top on the melodrama. The script sounds like a teen fanfic. </p><p>My spouse is laughing hysterically at how bad it is. </p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a></p>

That was... Something... Aside from a couple brand references dropped in, I'd have no idea it was Trek.</p><p> Seems about on par with what sells these days. IOW, nothing I particularly want to watch. Lots of pixels lighting up the screen. It's the kind of thing that catches your attention when you're at someone else's house and the tv's on, but wouldn't watch out of choice. I'll never see it it again. I give it a meh out of 10</p>
Lumiukko<p>I wish there would be a new <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrek</span></a> series or at least a new season this year, but it seems nothing is happening. Going to wait for the next season of Strange New Worlds.</p><p>... JK, I just started <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Section31</span></a>, but had to turn it off after 15 minutes. I liked Discovery and Michelle Yeoh in her role, had a bit difficulties with Picard, but at least it somewhat seemed still ST, but this... .. who thought this is a good idea? It starts off like a heist movie with pop music....</p>
The Gregzone<p>Yeah, okay, so that was the first time I’ve watched the Cliff’s Notes of something that should’ve but never actually existed in its proper form. I don’t know what executive decided to can the series and make this a movie, but he or she absolutely shit the bed.</p><p>Also, a Borgified Jamie Lee Curtis is Control? What the actual fuck? <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/startrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>startrek</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>section31</span></a></p>
The Gregzone<p>It’s like watching this my brain is going “I acknowledge that this could be powerful and emotional if we’d actually had the time to get to know these characters in any meaningful sense.” <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/startrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>startrek</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>section31</span></a></p>
The Gregzone<p>There are hints of something good in here, but in this form it’s just unfinished. Fragmented. The pacing is entirely too fast, and there are obvious gaps, missing shots and scenes. This was meant to be a series, maybe a miniseries. <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/startrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>startrek</span></a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/section31" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>section31</span></a></p>
