“Star Trek” may have been totally relegated to TV in recent years—even much more than “Star Wars,” the last movie on screen was in 2016, nine years ago—but it’s striving on TV and specifically on Paramount+ where brains trust Alex Kurtzman oversees most shows. However, in the spirit of the ever-evolving expansion, Paramount+ will debut its first movie in ages, “Star Trek: Section 31,” starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.
