Factual error: In the scene where Picard opens a viewing port and shows Lilly that she is in a starship orbiting Earth he shows her New Guinea and Australia. New Zealand is missing. (00:42:45)

Ending / spoiler

Starring: Patrick Stewart, James Cromwell, Alfre Woodard, Michael Dorn, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Alice Krige, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden
Data did not convert, he fooled the Borg Queen. The Borg drones all die when the Queen is killed by plasma. The Vulcans DID notice the Phoenix's first warp drive trip into space, and arrive on earth to meet Dr. Zephram Cochrane. Picard kisses Lilly goodbye, and the crew returns to their time via the Borg's vortex technology.

Suggested correction: Actually when you look at Australia and New Zealand from orbit, New Zealand is a lot further away from Australia then shown on a map, also a lot more south of Australia. A map is a 2D image of a sphere, causing proportions to be off (its well known Africa is a lot smaller on maps than it is in real life). Especially the further south or north you go distances are way off. The depiction shown in the movie is actually correct, in that angle New Zealand is just outside of the frame. There are plenty of pictures from orbit to compare.
William Riker: Someone once said, "Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgment."
Zefram Cochrane: That's rhetorical nonsense! Who said that?
William Riker: You did! Ten years from now.
More trivia for Star Trek: First Contact
Question: One of the crew members tells Worf the Borg control 26 to 11, when they reached deck 11 they stopped. Picard says "we can't get to deflector control or a shuttle craft. I did some research, the main shuttle bay is on deck 6. So why can't they get to a shuttlecraft? Would this be a plot hole?
Answer: The borg took control of specific areas of the ship as part of their plan. This included deflector control and the shuttle bay.
My mistake. The main shuttle bay is around decks 5 and 6. The Borg didn't take control of those decks until after the beacon was destroyed.
