- Wil Wheaton was invited back to the cast by executive producer Rick Berman after he spoke with LeVar Burton on a special Star Trek edition of NBC's "Weakest Link" (2001). Wheaton remains in the end titles although all of his scenes were cut from the final version of the film and he can only be seen as a non-speaking extra during the wedding scene.
- The lowest grossing film in the Star Trek franchise.
- Actor Michael Shanks read for the role of Shinzon. Jude Law was originally considered from the role of Shinzon.
- Denise Crosby discussed with executive producer Rick Berman the possibility of using her Star Trek: The Next Generation character Sela in the film, but they could not work out a way to properly fit the character into the movie.
- Every previous Star Trek series gets some sort of mention or reference. There's a maneuver named for Captain Kirk from "Star Trek" (1966). There is mention of the Dominion War from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993). Captain Janeway from "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) has a cameo. And one of the ships that the Enterprise was to redezvous with is the USS Archer, named for the captain in "Star Trek: Enterprise" (2001).
The wine that the crew drinks at the end of the movie is from Chateau Picard. This is a reference to Picard vineyard seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode "Family".
Cameo: Bryan Singer. Gues Appearance by the man who directed Patrick Stewart in X-Men (2000) and its sequel, X2 (2003).
- The four year interval between this film and Star Trek: Insurrection is the longest between Star Trek films.
- Midway during shooting, the captain's chair from the bridge set disappeared, apparantly stolen. While the film crew scrambled to find a way to work around the problem, the "Enterprise" cast and crew shooting in the soundstages next door decided to have a little fun at their franchise-mate's expense: Scott Bakula visited Patrick Stewart's trailer to present him with a makeshift wooden "replacement" chair with the letters K-A-P-T-I-N painted on it.
- Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) had a cameo in the earliest draft of the movie's script. It was scrapped when Ryan got a part on "Boston Public" (2000). The cameo was given to Kate Mulgrew instead. Ashley Judd was to also briefly reprise her Robin Leffler recurring role from the TV series.
- Was originally slated to be a direct sequel to Star Trek: Insurrection.
- Data's cat Spot makes an appearance in this film. The last time spot was seen was in Star Trek: Generations.
- The first Star Trek movie not to name the cast in the opening credits.
- Jonathan Frakes refused to shave his back for the love scene turned rape with Troi. Their hair on his back was digitally removed by an effects house.
- The farewell scene in Picard's ready room, near the end of the movie, had to be re-shot after Patrick Stewart unintentionally started crying.
Praetor Shinzon: My life is meaningless as long as you're still alive!
Picard: We're about to find out, Data.
La Forge: It is.
