In the fourth Star Trek film, a giant cylinder-shaped space object lingers over Earth’s orbit, emitting sounds of extinct humpback whales. The probe causes massive disasters on Earth, so the Enterprise crew must travel back in time to the '80s to find whales and bring them to the future.

Star Trek: Section 31 disappoints critics with underwhelming reviews despite Michelle Yeoh's return. Critics felt the movie was poorly executed, with bad acting, cringeworthy dialogue, and dated content. Despite the anticipation for a compelling plot exploring Section 31, fans were left disappointed by the film.
