I...enjoyed the S31 movie on its own terms. I wouldn't call it particularly "good" or recommend it to anyone. Mostly, it just made me sad that we didn't get the full 10-episode season, since it seems apparent that they didn't really change the story - just compressed it to an extreme degree.
The wonky camerawork that people like to single out definitely seems to be a trend that he set. In interviews, he talks a lot about letting the emotion of a scene guide the direction, but I can't really say it shows.
While I didn’t enjoy Section 31 at all—even though I do enjoy all new Trek—I do wonder how different and much more enjoyable it could have been [at least for me] as a full season instead of a movie, as I remember the beginning at the bar was quite interesting and promising…
I think there's a lot of potential.
You get a couple of episodes to get attached to the Deltan character before she gets killed off. You get about four episodes to get attached to Fuzz before his betrayal, which would actually give it some weight. You can actually spend some time exploring what it means for San to have crossed over to the Prime Universe, and how it affects Georgiou (and maybe explain why isn't way older than he appears to be, that'd be nice). You get enough time to make Garrett's arc actually work.
It really seems like ten hours of story stuffed into a two-hour bag.
