Star Trek: Section 31’s review embargo has ended, and critics are setting their phasers to ‘kill.’ The first-ever streaming-original Star Trek movie is taking heavy damage, with a Rotten score of 31% on Rotten Tomatoes. Only one other Star Trek project has ever received such a low score.
Its 31% Rotten Tomatoes score puts it behind misfires like Star Trek: Insurrection (55%), Star Trek: Enterprise (56%), and even the much-maligned Star Trek: Nemesis (38%).

What ‘Star Trek’ Project Had Worse Reviews Than ‘Section 31’? Longtime Star Trek fans won’t be surprised by this one: it’s 1989’s Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. […] The result: a 23% Rotten score and the rest of the franchise avoiding any reference to it for decades.
Oh, so I can even more safely ignore this than usual.
Insurrection was banger.
Enterprise wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be and I’m sorry I took so long to watch it. Just don’t ask me to listen to the opening.
And honestly I only dislike nemesis because… Well, you know…
Enterprise certainly had its moments, but the whole Xindi arc was bad. It finally found itself in Season 4 once it shed those shackles.
I liked that the xindi were a bunch of different species
For me, it was Archer using any, and every, excuse to talk down to T’Pol. I’m not sure who was writing his character, but I would’ve preferred if they’d gone more towards Picard (TNG) or Pike (SNW), and less Kirk/Sisko. As the first human explorers in that part of space, I would preferred more reverence for what they were accomplishing, and less whining about Vulcans. The other characters were were way more enjoyable to watch
TNG and SNW captains brought/bring a sense of awe with their exploration of the unknown, Archer just seemed like a kid who’s parents told him he couldn’t have ice cream for dinner
It’s time for a new show runner for Trek.
