Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

[Quantum21]

No, it’s really not a subjective opinion in this case. The movie was universally panned. And because of that, it’s highly unlikely that the TV movie format is going to be a thing anymore, no matter that people are still watching it. I get that you want to live in some fantasy land where you think S31 was some awesome thing, which you are welcome to do. But that’s not the reality, sorry.

I see nothing here to change my mind, there's plenty of evidence to the contrary, of which I've only supplied a handful. The status remains unchanged, I see a roughly equal divide between like and dislike, with an edge going for it for its successful viewership.

The regular TV Movie idea is still a thing. Of course, it all rests upon the new leadership at Paramount. Give it 6 months before we even start talking much about the future of the franchise, aside from some 60th anniversary stuff which I heard was being planned.

By all means, please supply the information that proves that the Section 31 movie was an astounding success.

I just rewatched 31 for the first time in about 9 months. It certainly wears well. I continue to like the spirit of it and is a fun movie. I'm not changing my rating at all.

I think fans forget Gene Roddenberry promoted Trek as an entertaining action-adventure.

My biggest takeaway now as it was then: They did enough that I want to see the characters in a series!

Already did

This again? Nope, not gonna get sucked into an inane attention-seeking conversation with you, sorry. Nice try.

It's a bad movie and it flopped.

Next?

It was dogshit awful enough the one time I saw it that I have yet to be compelled to ever watch it again. Nor have I felt the need to buy it on blu-ray - something I have never once in my life said about something produced in the Star Trek franchise.

Picard's disastrous second season - near the bottom of the heap - at least had some redeeming qualities in those 10 hours of dreck. Section 31 couldn't manage one during its 90-minute runtime.

Garrett’s phaser prop was a brilliant, era appropriate design.

That’s all I’ve got.

PIC Season 2 is, in my opinion, THE single worst season of Star Trek ever made.

Section 31 somehow manages to be worse.

SF Debris is one of the few YT reviewers that I really enjoy, mostly because I found him long before he felt he had to move to YT. He finally did Section 31 review, which is probably more entertaining than the film itself to many.

Gonna have to give this a re-watch soon. Surely it's not as bad as we all remember.

I've watched it twice. I maintain that while it certainly is not a good movie, it's not the disaster so many make it seem to be. It's dumb fun (emphasis on dumb) which can provide a suitable distraction for an hour and a half. Are there better ways to spend that hour and a half? Yes. But there are also much worse.

 

[Tosk]

It's dumb fun

You're half right.

Personally, the dumb was at levels too high to allow for fun. But I'm glad others can find it.
