Okay, so it took a while before I wrote this down, as my eyes needed to stop bleeding first...
Following the exploits of Philippa Georgiou in Discovery, she received a spin-off series that then became a movie which in all honesty just ended as a huge trainwreck...
It begins in the Mirror Universe, where a young Georgiou passes the trials to become the new empress of the Terran Empire. Jumping to our universe, agents of Section 31 are send to Baraam station, where Georgiou now rules after leaving the Discovery. She is recruited into the team to track a weapons dealer. When one of the team is killed, she recognises the weapon as the "Godsend", something she ordered to be developped in the Mirror Universe.
As she gets to know the team better, including the background that the leader Alok hails from the 20th century Eugenics Wars, they hunt the dealer Dada Noe and question him, learning he also comes from the Mirror Universe. They learn the Godsend is to be used for the Terran Empire to invade and conquer the Prime universe. It turns out one of their team is an infiltrator, and that San, a shadow from Georgiou's past in the Terran Empire, is the masked man that has been following them and causing obstructions to their mission.
During the confrontation, the Godsend is activated as Georgiou overcomes San, who dies in her arms, and the vessel containing the Godsend is send back through the wormhole into the Mirror Universe, ending the threat. Weeks later the remaining survivors of the team are contacted for a new mission...
What a pile of rubbish, Suicide Squad style Star Trek just doesn't work, and the mystery surrounding Agent Sloan and his Section 31 pale to what they made of this. Not to mention the age issue this movie creates for Rachel Garrett, the future captain of the Enterprise C, which would make her at the time of Yesterday's Enterprise almost 150 years old.
For long, the fifth movie ever made, The Final Frontier, was known as the worst Star Trek movie in history, but it is by FAR redeemed with this one...
