When Star Trek: Section 31 premiered on Paramount+ last week, it did so with a bit of a malfunction\u2014and landed with an almighty thud. The first Star Trek movie (streaming or otherwise) in years was immediately scathed by many critics, and now fan reactions have been similarly unkind, warping Section 31 right into first place on the most unglamorous of lists.<\/p>\n
As Forbes reports, Section 31 now holds the “honor” of being the worst-rated Star Trek project, TV series or film, on critical aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, both in terms of both a rating from critics and from user input. Here\u2019s the full breakdown of both film and TV series ratings:<\/p>\n

Paramount+, leaves Star Trek in a strange place. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, one of the most warmly received projects of this era now stands with just a handful of upcoming projects, and, as has been the case since Beyond\u2019s release, whatever the hell is going on with Star Trek movies remains so nebulous that Captain Janeway could go look for coffee inside of it all. Star Trek needed Section 31 to prove that it could thrive in the streaming movie format as it navigates this moment of uncertainty\u2014and the final frontier still could, but it would\u2019ve been much better served if it hadn\u2019t started with such a fundamental misfire of an idea.
