This post contains spoilers For "Star Trek: Part 31".
Judging by the latest teaser shown in the new movie "Star Trek: Section 31", Paramount+ is not yet ready with his team of extracurricular. "Part 31" is a slightly mixed bag, especially given How long has been in developmentBut the film about former mass murderer Filipa Georgiu and her new team of Neni-to-Wells work well enough as the start of something new-unlike the "TV film event" as it was advertised.
As an introductory chapter, "Section 31" works thanks to the strengths of the cast and the intriguing charm of almost every new character. Is the film borrowing too liberal from the famous dynamics of superheroes like "The Suicide Squad" and robbery films like "Ocean's Eleven? Sure. But she is drawn with him thanks to the pleasant novelty of her predatory group of antiheroes, which includes mechanical suits dressed in Himbo, volcano -driven by malicious microorganism, augment with shoulder chip, supercar morally, morally flexible and a good two -man officer shoes. By placing her story beyond the boundaries of the central organization of the franchisee"Part 31" can present some real new characters with much potential. Here's the ball full of spoiler on each of them, on a scale from super dull to super beloved.
6. Alok
Despite being the leader of the team in Section 31 and an alleged male lead role in the film, the skilled agent Alok (actor from "Power" and "Kick-Ass" Omari Hardwick) is so creepy that he can fit into the wall. This is by no means guilty of Hardwick: he does admirable work with the role of meat and potatoes given to him, but Alok remains the most bluky character in the film after long staff.
The Comic-Contray New York in October 2024Hardwick described his character as "ineligible because (there are) many mental problems". He also says Alok has "bones to pick" and wants to get Georgiu "to pay the price for some things she has done". There is only the slightest hint of all of this in the film we ended up, in which he almost immediately climbs Philip for a dangerous mission that he says can help her bought. He also reveals that he is an augmentation that has remained since the Eugene War, a drop by name in the immediate vicinity of Khan, which really leads us to nothing in the film. With "Section 31" makes the series jump in filmI can't help ask myself how much of the depth and personality of the character remained on the cutting floor.
5. Rachel
Rachel Garrett is not actually a new "Star Trek" character, but her version played by "Hannibal" and the "killing" role of Casey Roll. The future captain of Enterprise-C He appeared in the episode of the third season "Next Generation" "Yesterday's Company", Play from Trisha O'Neal. In the episode with particularly time bending, Enterprise-C comes through a gap in time, and its pushing into the future changes the course of history-and crew members of the captain Picard. The episode also contains an intense moral dilemma and tragic end, but in the "Section 31" timeline, the Lieutenant Garrett seems to have nothing to do with the Enterprise. However, she is a science officer and apparently shoots for promotion.
Rachel's character is less pronounced than explained, because Filipa describes her as "there is a stick to the back, coming out of her mouth". Her only true feature in the film is to remind everyone not to kill people and to show the side of the star fleet that is seen both naive and hypocritical. "The Star Fleet does not make assassinations! She tells the team at one point, although the 31st Section, a group that many assassinated, is part of the star fleet. Rachel is now boring, but if this ensemble gets a chance to grow, the variety of rolls and the funky selection of covert clothing on her face show that she deserves a chance to relax a little in the future - or at least get stories.
4. Honey
"Star Wars: Section 31" is contrary to the typical cost of "travel" in almost every way, and the inclusion of seductive Mele of Deltan ("Ginny and Georgia" and "in the dark" actress Hamberly Gonzalez) in the team is no exception. . "Star Trek" has always been a franchise that is sexy, but relatively without sex; From the very beginning he dances around the theme with seized lines for Mon-Far and guest stars dressed in a mini skirt, but most often favors the intellectual ties and relationships of loyalty before consumed love. Deltans, a kind that first appeared in the "Star Trek: Movie Picture", are a non -woven humanitarian group that inspires strong sexual attraction to others - but even deltans usually reduce it by signing a celery covenant when joining the Star Fleet. According to shared press materials by Startrek.comHowever, the stylish deltan melee did not sign a covenant, which we assume that she makes a professional Bond girl.
Here we have to make assumptions as we actually do not learn much about melee during the film. She gets some good dumps and seems to help the team by making all the men in her orbit to tighten their tongue to the point of vulnerability, but she is too cool to sit as she is like she. Plus, we don't hear about the covenant for a celibacy part of it, only that it is described as "a walking honey trap". Professional flirting with flawless makeup that can burst chewing gum in the form of a heart? We are already under her magic.
3. Fuzz
There is nothing more controversial about Trek fans than a project that interferes with the established volcanic culture, so Fuzz (the actor of "One Piece" Sven Rougrock) is almost predetermined to cause waves among long -standing viewers. The presence of a smiling volcano in the trailer for Section 31 was already strange enough, but the reality of Fuz's situation is even more strange. It is actually a microscopic being called nanochemia, which pulls the strings into the brain of an unnamed volcano for malicious reasons. He is also a very Irishman - a fairly stereotypical heated head, ready for a fight.
Aside from the suspicious cultural portrait, Juz is one of the most intriguing characters in "Part 31" because his story feels completely unfinished. He has thousands of children on the road, angry southern wife and an evil plan who, despite not going according to plan, may not have killed him. Even more interesting: we know nothing about his body, how he found him or what happened to the volcano's consciousness when he decided to live. Fuz is a little pest, but Rougrock's performance makes him more fun than he should, and he (and his host) are the type of characters that could get real tragic rear stories if given the appropriate time for the blossom.
2. ZEF
I will say what we all think: Star Trek needs more himbos. The star fleet is full of the best and brightest in the galaxy, which means people like the ZEF - Australian brother dressed in mechanical costumes played by the actor from True Blood and Captain Marvel Robert Casinski - not always in the spotlight. But the overwhelming criminal caper with exterior edges like "Section 31" has all the space in the world for a character that fills the big, stupid quota for anti -hero, and Zef is particularly fun.
Zef is described in the film as "heavy with artillery, low IQ", and Filipa also says it looks "like a Swiss army knife". But he supports his muscles with a strenuous, tumultuous attitude he would do for fans if he was not killed halfway. Casinic maximally uses the screen time and laughs a little, as when ZEF is offended after Filipa distinguishes his body and a full -time suit (there is "Mechani Dysmorphia", according to Quasi), and when we see it obviously It is lost in the sauce and talking about "mechanical life" while covering in the bar. Sweet stupid -in no, we barely knew you, but I'm sure you will live in fiction - if not in the continuation of the canon of "Star Trek".
1. Quasi
Sam Richardson does everything that is better, and when it comes to Section 31, The Afterparty and Veep star is the adhesive that holds the insecure tone of mixing together. His shamelloid quasi -shaped character is extremely smart, and equal parts are charming and beautifully awkward. "Sometimes Quasi sees so many options, he freezes his brain," Mele explains when he starts to stumble upon his words after meeting Filipa, but it seems clear that he is particularly unbeaten around Yeo's stylish and sexy anti -hero. He also has a joke for any occasion, and while the film's script can be slightly tight, Richardson makes every replica feel natural.
Inadvertently or otherwise, "Part 31" seems to be a pastor of pop culture from the past decade, and quasi-shares the same sweet sense of indecision (and understanding advanced theories of existence) like the soul of "good place" ( William Jackson Harper). We hope Chameloid will get more space to grow if he returns to future Trek stories, but the basis of a great character is already there, and Richardson plays perfectly. Of all the beginners presented in "Part 31", Quasi is the most extensive and most attractive immediately from the bat. He is also a member of the team that we would most like to see the screen on the screen.
