What's left behind the scenes
- Screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman explained that the dilemma for the sequel was choosing between pitting the crew against a new villain or creating a "research-based science fiction plot," like in the series "Star Trek" (1966-1969).
- According to J. J. Abrams, the concept of time travel, which was present in the previous film, was used deliberately to allow for greater freedom in working on new films: "The fact that we are no longer bound by a specific time period allows us to use any moments from the past, or even create completely new ones, to build the plot."
- Hayley Atwell and Teresa Palmer auditioned for the role of Carol Marcus.
- Benicio del Toro was offered the role of John Harrison, but the actor ultimately declined due to financial issues. Afterwards, Demian Bichir, Edgar Ramirez, and Jordi Mollà were considered for the role, but it eventually went to Benedict Cumberbatch.
- Paramount Pictures asked director J. J. Abrams to shoot the film in 3D. However, Abrams wanted to shoot in 2D on film, using IMAX cameras. They eventually reached a compromise, resulting in this film being the first in cinematic history to be shot in IMAX format and then converted to 3D during post-production.
- This is Peter Weller's second appearance in the «Star Trek» film series. He previously appeared as a guest star in the «Star Trek: Enterprise» (2001-2005) television series.
- Benedict Cumberbatch was recommended to J.J. Abrams by Steven Spielberg, a co-producer on the film «Super 8» (2011), who had previously worked with Cumberbatch on «War Horse» (2011).
- Peter Weller previously appeared in «The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension» (1984) with former «Star Trek» villain Christopher Lloyd, and in «RoboCop» (1987) alongside other «veterans» of the series – Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer.
- Benedict Cumberbatch became widely known for his role in the «Sherlock» (2010) television series. Leonard Nimoy played Sherlock Holmes in stage productions in the 1970s, and even mentions this fact in «Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country» (1991), referencing Holmes's logic by saying: «When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.» Christopher Plummer also played Holmes and delivered his signature line: «The game's afoot.» Nimoy also recorded a song in the 1970s – «The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins,» and Cumberbatch voiced the dragon Smaug in «The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug» (2013), in which his «Sherlock» (2010) co-star Martin Freeman played Bilbo Baggins.
- Benedict Cumberbatch recorded an audition video in his best friend’s kitchen using an iPhone.
- Of all the proposed titles for the film, including humorous ones, screenwriter Damon Lindelof liked "Star Trek: Transformers 4" the most. He said: "Technically, we could pull that off without any problems."
- Michael Dorn, who previously played Klingon Lieutenant Worf, was considered for the role of an officer at the beginning of filming. However, the filmmakers ultimately decided not to mix the old and new cast from the "Star Trek" film series.
- The screenwriters studied science fiction novels by Arthur C. Clarke and Larry Niven for inspiration.
- This is the first time a film in the "Star Trek" series has been filmed outside of the United States. There were shoots for special effects scenes in Iceland.
- In the film, John Harrison gives James T. Kirk the spatial coordinates 23174611. These are the coordinates of the orbit of one of Jupiter's moons.
- Bruce Greenwood and Peter Weller voiced the characters of DC Comics — Bruce Wayne / Batman: Greenwood in the animated film "Batman: Under the Red Hood" (2010) and the series "Young Justice" (2010), and Weller in "The Dark Knight Rises. Part 1" (2012).
- The collection of models on Admiral Marcus's table resembles a gallery of old "Enterprise" ships from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979). Both collections include a NASA shuttle and the "XCV 330 USS Enterprise" (the ship with rings around its hull). Also among the models is the "NX-01 Enterprise" from the series "Star Trek: Enterprise" (2001-2005).
- Christopher Duane, son of the series "veteran" James Doohan, played the episodic role of a transport employee in the film.
- When a clerk from Los Angeles delivered the script to Benedict Cumberbatch, the briefcase with the manuscript was handcuffed to his wrist.
- Marcus's damaged ship demolished the famous Alcatraz prison on its path. Interestingly, J.J. Abrams was an executive producer of the series "Alcatraz" (2011).
- Sulu's seatbelt appears and disappears during the final battle scene.
- When Old Spock appears on the Enterprise's screen, the image is mirrored. This is noticeable because actor Nimoy's right earlobe is elongated, not his left.
- In the film at 57 minutes, when Spock kisses Uhura, the position of her face changes. First her head is to her right shoulder, then in the next shot her head is already to her left shoulder.
- When Kirk is lying and dying by the door with the window, Spock places his hand on the window and makes a gesture – the "Vulcan salute." In the next shot, his hand is no longer making that gesture.
- Screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman explained that the dilemma for the sequel was whether to pit the crew against a new villain or to create a “research-based science fiction plot,” as in the series “Star Trek” (1966-1969).
