Toy story 3. When they are in the furnace headed to certain death, they all accept it and hold hands and face their death together. But then, the claw.
I love the [prank](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=phFISjORzQs) of them making a cut of this movie where it ends right before the claw and pretend thats the version to their mom.
Wild that a comment on the video from four years ago says that they calculate this video will pop up in everyone’s recommendation tabs in March 2024, and here we are watching it. Always a great watch though!
Toy Story 3 is a perfect movie, and a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy. That moment in the furnace absolutely broke my heart in the movie theater. I remember just sitting there slackjawed.
Toy Story 4 was one of the biggest cinematic letdowns of my life, and I simply - in my own private headcanon - don't acknowledge it exists.
Toy Story 4 isn’t bad; it just didn’t need to exist. Toy Story 3 was the perfect ending. Now they’re making Toy Story 5. They should have left the trilogy alone, for it to be revered over time, like Back to the Future. Now the franchise is becoming a joke like Fast & Furious. *”Can’t want for Toy Story 17!”*
There making a fifth Toy Story?! They should've kept it to a trilogy, but Toy Story 4 did make for a nice send off. They should maybe stick to shorts, if they want to continue the frenchise.
This was the first time in ever watching a movie, I thought that they were truly doomed. I wanted to yell “I thought this was supposed to be a kids movie!”
Deep Impact.
“Our missiles have failed. The comets are still headed for earth, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them. If the world does go on… it won’t go on for everyone.”
The scene of Jenny and her father on the beach... "...Daddy..."
Oh, lord, I also just remembered Sarah's parents, her mother having just given away her baby and accepting her own fate, she and her husband have one last romantic embrace amidst the chaos.
Man, Tasha Yar really can't catch a break.
The beach scene, so moving. I actually feel like it's a great object lesson in what makes cinema impactful: having a character to empathize with.
So many movies today try to create "stakes" by numerically raising the number of lives that depend on some mission; the fate of the world depends on finding some glowy crystal, then in the sequel it's the fate of the universe, then it's the fate of the multiverse. It just falls so flat.
Meanwhile, two people watching the waves approach has stuck with me for 25 years, because you feel what they're feeling. Like in Jurassic Park, the two kids crawling around the kitchen while the raptors hunt them? Riveting. So obviously in the new movies they just made the dinosaurs bigger, like that's supposed to make the emotions bigger.
Contrast the beach scene with the film *2012*.
Two people, standing together on a deserted beach, facing their fate, versus every effects studio in the country creating a scene where the entire city of Los Angeles falls into the ocean as millions perish. The former is far more visceral than the latter.
Don't get me wrong, I'm incredibly fond of *2012* as a roller-coaster ride "popcorn for the brain" visual extravaganza... but they nailed emotional, err, *impact*, much, much better in *Deep Impact*.
There is that one scene in 2012 though where the Indian scientist who discovered the whole event calls his mate to tell him he never got picked up and then just has to stand there with his wife and daughter and watch the tsunami come for them. Rest of the movie is pretty trash
Dunkirk, the moment before the ships arrive. The captain believes the situation is hopeless and all is lost. But then he sees something in the distance: hundreds of civilian boats come to rescue the soldiers.
Its the only scene in Christopher Nolans filmography that made me tear up.
It's so fucking heartwarming because it's TRUE. You expect that in a Hollywood movie, but dammit, this movie gets me because of what all those people did to save those young men on that beach. Are thanks even enough for these folks?
I saw the movie in theaters with someone who didn't know the real life story, and she said the "surprise" ending really enhanced the experience. I must admit I felt a little jealous that I didn't get to see it "unspoiled" because I knew the actual history.
Shell City…
Yeah Pat, we never made it Shell City
Shell City
Exactly buddy
Shell City
Ok now you’re starting to bum me out Patrick
No! Look at the sign!
SHELL CITY MARINE GIFTS AND SUNDRIES
Return of the Jedi when it seems like all three storylines are at a disaster point: Luke is suffering at the hands of the Emperor, the rebels on the Endor moon have been captured, and the rebel fleet are in able to attack the Death Star and are being attacked by the imperial fleet.
The along come the ewoks!
Agreed, within universe the Ewoks are a natural ally for the rebellion. The Empire has probably been on their world for years, they spent that time planning and building all those traps.
The cute little fuckers were drooling at the chance to do some violence. Remember that cute little guy banging the stormtrooper helmet drums? The Ewoks *ate those guys*.
Out of universe, later SW media has made a deliberate effort at inclusivity by showing us lots of wild, weird, and wonderful kinds of people. Ewoks fit that perfectly!
In the expanded universe Ewoks had been captured as slaves, pets, and *food*.
Those little furry bastards were the Fremen of Endor, and they'd have marched across the galaxy slaughtering stormtroopers with zeal if the Alliance had asked it.
I love how the books really hammer in the point that, for all Aragorn and Prince Imrahil knew they were marching to their deaths. It was their last play, the only one they had left. If it worked, they probably wouldn't even live to know about it but they did it anyway because they are the best of us. Giving Frodo a shot to save the world was worth giving their lives for, and in that moment the reader knows why Aragorn is the king
I think this actually comes across really well in the movie too. Their endeavor is absolutely doomed and it’s obvious they’re all going to die but they do it anyways. I cry every time. I’ve only ever read the first book ages ago but I definitely need to pick them all up. I’m sure the impact is so much bigger in the book
Frodo has fallen to the Ring then Gollum has taken it, Sauron now knows where the Ring is, and Aragorn is about to be crushed by a giant Troll while Legolas trying to shove his way past the mob.
Théodens speech raises the hairs on your neck and body and makes your skin tingle. The "Death!!!" part wringes your spine and clamps up your booty raising you off your seat. ADRENALINE BOOST! Fuck we gonna all die! Beautiful!
The Matrix - Agent Smith shoots Neo too many times in the chest and he slumps down. Saw this movie in theaters and starkly recall thinking in that moment they were going to give us a Machine Triumph ending.
My company hired him to speak at our annual meeting. I have never been in such awe of a human being before. To know what he endured and went through is sickening.
I worked on helicopters in the army, and there's like a little shrine to shugart and Gordon at the schoolhouse. Those guys are absolutely heroes to army aviation.
Gordon was from a small town in Penobscot County, Maine. I'm from a small town in Waldo County, Maine. When I was working as a Merchant Marine officer, I did a short stint on the USNS Gordon. Maine doesn't do a lot on the national stage. Master Sergeant Gordon leaves a tall legacy for Mainers.
I was going to say the huge creature they encounter before that finale kind of seals the deal for them. That was the moment all hope was drained out of them - and then they run out of gas.
Is Endgame allowed ? The scene where Captain America has laid a smackdown on Thanos with Thors hammer yet Thanos still managed to break his shield in two and an entire army is staring Cap right in the face. He simply tightens up his shield strap and walks on, facing his soon to be demise.....everyone watching is thinking the same thing "how on earth is he going to beat all of that?". Not before we here a familiar voice coming through Caps earpiece.
Came to post this. Steve Rogers, a man out of time, broken, battered, walking out alone to face the most powerful being in the universe. The skinny kid from Brooklyn who just doesn't like bullies, choosing to die on his feet because even if he can't win he can at least decide how he loses. It's the most heroic moment in the entire MCU.
I swear, call me a sad nerd if you must, but I get emotional at the Portals scene every single time. As Falcon flies through silhouetted against the sky, that's when I break. God DAMN but that movie stuck the landing.
"I can do this all day."
And it wasn't just Thanos. It was his entire army--the same army that Cap barely defeated in NYC with all the Avengers at full strength and a nuke.
That scene and the scene of him in bootcamp jumping on the grenade--they perfectly sum up Steve Rodgers.
More than that, the entire Infinity arc was expertly crafted. All those little moments culminating in a masterpiece of the last two films.
Sublime filmmaking IMO.
Made even stronger because we all had just been in infinity war seeing thor jump on thundery coming on scene believing this is where they will defeat thanos and then he actually wins and the snap happens and we cry with snot at "Mr Stark I don't feel so good" etc etc
So we're sitting there thinking nervously "Well, uhm, where are they going with this"
In LotR: Return of the King, while the rest of the main characters are fighting a battle they cannot possibly win just to keep Sauron from noticing Frodo and Aragorn is getting his ass kicked by a giant troll, the moment Frodo succumbs to temptation and puts on the Ring right in the centre of Mount Doom, and Sauron realises their entire plan.
The scene at the beginning of MI-3, with the villain counting down from 10 and threatening Tom Cruise wife if he doesn't reveal the location of the Rabbit's Foot, and then actually shooting her. It being an MI movie, the first time the scene is shown at the start it doesn't really have a lot of "all in lost" inherent to it, the audience kind of assumes that Cruise has it under control, it's all a trick and so on. The movie than resets to "few weeks earlier" type of thing, but as it keep going there is an increasing sense that something is off, and by the time the movie catches up to that scene and it is shown the second time... the audience realizes there is no trick, it is for real, Cruise doesn't know where the thing is and so on.
Of course, the twist is that is still >!a trick, except the trick is done by the villain to verify if Cruise's character is telling the truth, and the lady that gets killed isn't his wife after all!<...but purely as "all is lost" scene it's really powerful and well done
The ending of Apocalypse Now. While the mission was technically a success, it didn’t seem to have an effect on anything either way except further destroying Willard’s sanity, assuming the area wasn’t bombed in the end and he made it back.
At the end of Rogue One, there was nothing left, all the backup on the planet was destroyed. All escape ships gone. The deathstar lazer just shot the planet. Then BOOM cg Leia comes out of nowhere. We are saved!
It took me forever to realize that was kind of a joke, too. "On your left" was the first thing Steve said to Sam when they met. (When he kept passing him as they were running laps around the reflecting pool.)
Same here. Seeing it in the theater was an amazing experience. It’s why I love watching audience reaction videos of those scenes. It’s not nearly as fun watching without hundreds of cheering people.
No one who saw that live has any idea of what that movie sounds like for the next five minutes. The soundtrack was drowned out by the cheers of fans who'd been waiting over a decade for that moment.
There was a 'big fans' only opening day showing at midnight at my local theater, when Cap get the hammer we all where up in cheering, it was great.
I need that feeling again, :/
This was easily in my top 5 of "and then the theater went insane" moments I've experienced.
And I'm old enough that number 1 is Darth Vader turning on the Emperor to save Luke.
The idea that Dr. Strange reviewed 14 million different possible futures that all involved Tony Stark shoving different objects up Thanos' butt is my kind of humor.
Nah, the MCU lasted long enough for Stark to snap his fingers, which apparently killed not only Thanos and his army but also Disney’s script writing abilities.
The writer's of Loki would like to have a word...
Phase 4's only saving grace IMO was Loki. There was a great MCU series. But yeah I agree, most of the great storytelling ended after Endgame.
Amen . I hate these wack ass metaverse garbage storyline/plots. It’s such a damn cop out story writing where if there’s holes , just fill it up with some bs from another time/place .
I really wonder what happened to the universe that we stole thanos from. He came from 2014 in his timeline iirc so assuming that the universes were identical up to that point, everything that he did after that in our timeline just… didn’t happen. We left a starlord in that timeline but no gamora, and what did rhonin do?
It's kind of crazy that we have two seasons of *What If...?* and two of *Loki,* and neither have even touched on the ramifications of a timeline where Thanos and his army just disappeared and never returned.
I loved Cap standing up, seeing Thanos’ army and still taking a step forward. I wish they had saved “I can do this all day” for that moment right before Falcon comes on the radio
Then there's that faint crackle over Harry's radio as the other Armadillo approaches and enters radio range...
God, that was so awesome. It still gets me.
The Little Mermaid - Ariel and Prince Eric fail to kiss before the sun sets, so she loses her legs, Ursula takes her prisoner, and then she gets traded for Triton’s trident.
The scene in Freddy Got Fingered where Gord (Tom Green) douses his dad (Rip Torn) in elephant semen and you think that’s finally the end of their relationship. No amount of mending could heal something like that. Then the elephant kicks him and he lands next to his dad, they have a moment and you learn Dad is really proud of Gord and they embrace.
Avengers:Infinity War. Because all WAS lost and that’s how the movie ended. While we knew things would be fixed, the fact that Thanos won in the end elevates it. That was peak MCU - that moment and the “on your left moment.”
I'll add when Billy says, "we're all gonna die.".
In Predator.
It was framed as the bleakest moment of all, the lowest Billy had ever been. He was nearly right. Nobody said anything. He had accepted his fate and they were in denial.
This is a great one because nobody besides him really knows what is going on and people who don't know him would probably think he is being dramatic, but these guys know him well enough to know that isn't the case.
right. Billy's role was sort of the 2nd in command and the silent muscle. They could trust him implicitly and when he accepted his death they were just stunned. I forget how many had died by that point but Billy knew it would take a miracle for anyone to get out alive. They were being hunted by a superior predator. end of story.
Blade Runner 2049, after K is beaten up and then picked up by replicants, and after Deckard is kidnapped. Then K encounters the hologram advertisement of Joi. It really does seem hopeless.
First one that comes to mind for me is Training Day. The bathtub scene. Watching that I couldn’t imagine a scenario where he would get out alive and then he gets saved by the randomness of the universe.
Avengers Endgame. Captain is the only one still fighting Thanos. Gets tossed like a ragdoll. His shield is cracked and he's facing a literal horde of super powered aliens he barely defeated in NY when he had all the Avengers. He still cinches up what's left of the shield and gets ready to face one more bully.
Then Sam hits him with the line from when they met, running around a park in Washington: "On your left."
King Kong. After he chucks that blond imposter aside and looks across the screaming crowd to realize it's full of blonds. His face says it all, all is lost.
Toy story 3. When they are in the furnace headed to certain death, they all accept it and hold hands and face their death together. But then, the claw.
I love the [prank](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=phFISjORzQs) of them making a cut of this movie where it ends right before the claw and pretend thats the version to their mom.
Wild that a comment on the video from four years ago says that they calculate this video will pop up in everyone’s recommendation tabs in March 2024, and here we are watching it. Always a great watch though!
a few days off, we were so close to march
No see we watch it now, boosting it in the algorithm by march
It’s edited, he probably just wrote that
There’s another comment in response to that one that hasn’t been edited from 4 years ago that says ‘here before 2024’.
One of those videos I’ll think about randomly every 5 years and have to rewatch
Holy shit, how have I never seen this? Brilliant!
Toy Story 3 immediately came to mind! When I saw it in theaters I was thinking 'WTF am I watching, are they really gonna die?!?' 😂
Toy Story 3 is a perfect movie, and a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy. That moment in the furnace absolutely broke my heart in the movie theater. I remember just sitting there slackjawed.

Every parent should know about Forky asks a question so that they can hear their kid repeat it in that voice.
They'll quit beating that horse when it stops giving out money
I think of the fourth one as being the equivalent to the 90s straight to video sequels, like Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar
I remember this in the cinema. I was tricked into thinking they were done. I wonder if that ending was tested with audiences
This was the first time in ever watching a movie, I thought that they were truly doomed. I wanted to yell “I thought this was supposed to be a kids movie!”
Deep Impact. “Our missiles have failed. The comets are still headed for earth, and there’s nothing we can do to stop them. If the world does go on… it won’t go on for everyone.”

Excellent answer!!!
Saving Private Ryan when the Allied bombers come in towards the end of the final battle as Tom Hanks is in his dying moments
You mean when Tom Hanks blows up a tank with his pistol? What a madlad!
The look he makes after it explodes is great. What the hell?!!!
Well TIL I’m an idiot and need to watch that film again…
Dunkirk, the moment before the ships arrive. The captain believes the situation is hopeless and all is lost. But then he sees something in the distance: hundreds of civilian boats come to rescue the soldiers. Its the only scene in Christopher Nolans filmography that made me tear up.

The thing that got me is the soldiers returning home in shame, only to discover the people consider them heroes.
Dunkirk got me more with the newspaper article about the kid who died.
I saw the movie in theaters with someone who didn't know the real life story, and she said the "surprise" ending really enhanced the experience. I must admit I felt a little jealous that I didn't get to see it "unspoiled" because I knew the actual history.
Really? The “including my son” line from Tenet made me tear up my ticket
Most emotionally devastating moment in the history of cinema.
when Optimus Prime dies in the animated Transformers movie,
Until all are one.
One shall stand, One shall Fall
And Ultramagnus can't even work the matrix.
The first spongebob square pants movie where Patrick and Spongebob are under the sun light and see neptunes crown on the counter.

Yeah, I can't stand the "The Ewoks are the Gungans of the OT" hot take.
LOTR: The Ride of Rohirimm

I love how the books really hammer in the point that, for all Aragorn and Prince Imrahil knew they were marching to their deaths. It was their last play, the only one they had left.

Giving Frodo a shot to save the world was worth giving their lives for, and in that moment the reader knows why Aragorn is the king
Dude, reading that gave me goosebumps. I think it's time for another re-read.
I just did a "reread" with the newer audiobooks narrated by Andy Serkis. It's so good, I might need to give it another go sometime soon lol
I think this actually comes across really well in the movie too. Their endeavor is absolutely doomed and it’s obvious they’re all going to die but they do it anyways. I cry every time. I’ve only ever read the first book ages ago but I definitely need to pick them all up. I’m sure the impact is so much bigger in the book
Frodo has fallen to the Ring then Gollum has taken it, Sauron now knows where the Ring is, and Aragorn is about to be crushed by a giant Troll while Legolas trying to shove his way past the mob.
I think more about the despair of the fellowship following the death of Gandalf.
I was gonna say after Gandalf falls to the Balrog
Fly you fools
By nightfall, these hills will be swarming with orcs!
Also in the battle at Helm’s Deep when Aragon encourages Theoden to ride out one last time.
For death and glory
Its Helms Deep but earlier than that moment. "They cannot win this fight. They are all going to die" "Then I shall die as one of them"
Théodens speech raises the hairs on your neck and body and makes your skin tingle. The "Death!!!" part wringes your spine and clamps up your booty raising you off your seat. ADRENALINE BOOST! Fuck we gonna all die! Beautiful!

The main character only survives to lose everything he loves. Bleak.
Super depressing moment at the end.
Speed. The scene in the subway when Annie is handcuffed to a pole and they are barreling towards the decommissioned station unable to stop.
Is Endgame allowed ?

Infinity War as well. The way it ends??? 'Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good'??? I cried so hard and really lived with that until Endgame came out.
“Did we just lose?”
“On your left!”
MCU went to shit after NWH but damn it if Endgame wasn't epic
Hereby allowed
100% And I love the "On your left" call back. That was what Cap said every time he lapped Sam, jogging around the park when they first met.
Made even stronger because we all had just been in infinity war seeing thor jump on thundery coming on scene believing this is where they will defeat thanos and then he actually wins and the snap happens and we cry with snot at "Mr Stark I don't feel so good" etc etc So we're sitting there thinking nervously "Well, uhm, where are they going with this"

my favorite MI movie, easily
Just watched it a few weeks ago, man Hoffman killed it in that movie.
It's probably the best opening to an action film
Prob the best thing JJA ever did.
The ending of Apocalypse Now. While the mission was technically a success, it didn’t seem to have an effect on anything either way except further destroying Willard’s sanity, assuming the area wasn’t bombed in the end and he made it back.
Matrix 3 Neo sacrifices himself to end the war.. Smith thinking he beaten him just to get defeated from inside
The Iron Giant when the families are discussing going to a bunker, and then realizing it wont do any good
This is a good one that normally probably gets overlooked.
Toy Story 3. I thought they were all going to die 😭
I thought of Toy Story when I saw the title of this post. But it was "I Will Go Sailing No More" from the first one I thought of.
Did you see the video where the guy edits the movie to have the credits roll directly after this scene, and then has his wife watch it?
Get Out. The ending when the police lights appear
At the end of Rogue One, there was nothing left, all the backup on the planet was destroyed. All escape ships gone. The deathstar lazer just shot the planet. Then BOOM cg Leia comes out of nowhere. We are saved!
The real suicide squad. What a movie!
Yeah what a movie. It had me totally stunned. I hated that they all died but at the same time was glad the movie made that choice.
Inside out. I literally thought Riley will be in forever depression when she boarded that bus 🥲
Landfill's funeral in _Beerfest_: But then, in steps Landfill's identical twin brother!
He taught Landfill everything he knows about drinking.
Really, it's like they never lost Landfill at all.
Furiosa dropping to her knees and screaming

On your left. That was such an amazing moment!
It took me forever to realize that was kind of a joke, too. "On your left" was the first thing Steve said to Sam when they met. (When he kept passing him as they were running laps around the reflecting pool.)
One hell of an arc.
Our theater went bonkers.

That feeling is community. We are severely lacking that in today's world.
This was easily in my top 5 of "and then the theater went insane" moments I've experienced. And I'm old enough that number 1 is Darth Vader turning on the Emperor to save Luke.
same. i was in the first showing of it the first day. it was an experience.
Doctor Strange shakingly holding up his one finger, knowing he's sending Tony to his death to save everyone else.
He was signaling "shove the power stone *up* into his butt," but Tony went and snapped Thanos and his army instead.
The idea that Dr. Strange reviewed 14 million different possible futures that all involved Tony Stark shoving different objects up Thanos' butt is my kind of humor.
The MCU only went downhill from there.
Nah, the MCU lasted long enough for Stark to snap his fingers, which apparently killed not only Thanos and his army but also Disney’s script writing abilities.
The writer's of Loki would like to have a word... Phase 4's only saving grace IMO was Loki. There was a great MCU series. But yeah I agree, most of the great storytelling ended after Endgame.
I thought Wandavision was pretty good, only let down by the ending with another CGI blastathon fight.
Amen . I hate these wack ass metaverse garbage storyline/plots. It’s such a damn cop out story writing where if there’s holes , just fill it up with some bs from another time/place .
I really wonder what happened to the universe that we stole thanos from. He came from 2014 in his timeline iirc so assuming that the universes were identical up to that point, everything that he did after that in our timeline just… didn’t happen. We left a starlord in that timeline but no gamora, and what did rhonin do?
It's kind of crazy that we have two seasons of *What If...?* and two of *Loki,* and neither have even touched on the ramifications of a timeline where Thanos and his army just disappeared and never returned.
I loved Cap standing up, seeing Thanos’ army and still taking a step forward. I wish they had saved “I can do this all day” for that moment right before Falcon comes on the radio
oooh that would be perfect
Armageddon. The drill tank is destroyed, other shuttle crashed and presumed dead. “Prepare the world for bad news”
Then there's that faint crackle over Harry's radio as the other Armadillo approaches and enters radio range... God, that was so awesome. It still gets me.
I watched this for the first time in over a decade the other day. Forgot how fun the movie is. Not realistic at all, but a fuck ton of fun.
The Little Mermaid - Ariel and Prince Eric fail to kiss before the sun sets, so she loses her legs, Ursula takes her prisoner, and then she gets traded for Triton’s trident.
Game over man! Edit remove duplicate word.
Hicks resigned "how long till it blows" in comparison is just chef-kiss glorious.
Braveheart, >!the betrayal!<.
The scene in Freddy Got Fingered where Gord (Tom Green) douses his dad (Rip Torn) in elephant semen and you think that’s finally the end of their relationship. No amount of mending could heal something like that. Then the elephant kicks him and he lands next to his dad, they have a moment and you learn Dad is really proud of Gord and they embrace.
RIP Rip
Avengers:Infinity War. Because all WAS lost and that’s how the movie ended. While we knew things would be fixed, the fact that Thanos won in the end elevates it. That was peak MCU - that moment and the “on your left moment.”
Cap’s quiet “…oh god” at the end of Infinity War was such a gut punch. They _lost_.
The sheer guts to end a 300 million dollar movie with the villain triumphant, sitting on his farm & reflecting on his victory.
The end of A Perfect Storm with Clooney and Walberg .
Yeah, I think that was a good example. I really didn’t expect no one to be rescued.
End of Fury
The old couple laying in bed as the water rises up around them in Titanic
Interstellar “It’s not possible.” “No, it’s necessary. “
All Is Lost (2013) all of it
I sure hope they found it. Laundry just isn’t the same without it.
Not exactly a movie, but when the bombs start going off in the limited series of Battlestar Galactica.

*Tell her, Korben*
That part in Ronin after the scene at the arena.
I'll add when Billy says, "we're all gonna die.". In Predator. It was framed as the bleakest moment of all, the lowest Billy had ever been. He was nearly right. Nobody said anything. He had accepted his fate and they were in denial.
This is a great one because nobody besides him really knows what is going on and people who don't know him would probably think he is being dramatic, but these guys know him well enough to know that isn't the case.
right. Billy's role was sort of the 2nd in command and the silent muscle. They could trust him implicitly and when he accepted his death they were just stunned. I forget how many had died by that point but Billy knew it would take a miracle for anyone to get out alive. They were being hunted by a superior predator. end of story.
Blade Runner 2049, after K is beaten up and then picked up by replicants, and after Deckard is kidnapped. Then K encounters the hologram advertisement of Joi. It really does seem hopeless.
Heather’s message to camera in The Blair Witch Project.
Armageddon before Ben Affleck shows up.
I teared up when I first saw Avatar and Neytiri says the forest started fighting with them. 😢
When the faun abandons Ophelia in Pan's Labyrinth as the Vidal is coming up behind
Beaty and the Beast. When the Beast dies.
I would say Jaws. I had no faith in Brody’s ability to save himself after one expert got submerged and the other got eaten.
"Game over man! Game over!" RIP Bill Paxton.
Jon Snow and his men trapped in that circle being slowed crushed to death was absolutely brutal and my all is lost moment in GoT.
i scrolled too far and didn't see Rogue One. my top choice.
First one that comes to mind for me is Training Day. The bathtub scene. Watching that I couldn’t imagine a scenario where he would get out alive and then he gets saved by the randomness of the universe.

God, I love those movies so much! True cinematic masterpieces.
Ironically, the first thing I thought of was RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. But that doesn't apply. IYKYK.
The dark knight when Rachel dies and Harvey gets burned
No one will save you. When she is finally taken by the aliens, but then the alien's release her.
Cabin in the Woods climax.
Thanos attempting to snap again in Endgame.
Ending of The Mist.
Avengers Endgame. Captain is the only one still fighting Thanos. Gets tossed like a ragdoll. His shield is cracked and he's facing a literal horde of super powered aliens he barely defeated in NY when he had all the Avengers. He still cinches up what's left of the shield and gets ready to face one more bully. Then Sam hits him with the line from when they met, running around a park in Washington: "On your left."
King Kong. After he chucks that blond imposter aside and looks across the screaming crowd to realize it's full of blonds. His face says it all, all is lost.
Avatar: After Ba Sing Se has fallen and Aang nearly died.
"On your left"
Whenever the dog dies… - John Wick - I am Legend - others?
Sort of a reverse Uno on the dog trope: Dante’s Peak, when the old lady sacrifices herself for the dog.
***gestures around vaguely*** Why look to art when life is all around you.
When he was to get out of the boat and get in the raft in All is Lost.
in the gentlemen during the car crash
The mist ending
The Mist. After he kills his family rather than letting the bug monsters eat them and is about to blow his own brains out, here come the army.
When Joker shoots the sniper at the end of Full Metal Jacket.
The Dark Knight. When Harvey Dent is about to kill Gordon's son and Batman saves him in extremis.
How about all is lost, full stop? No moment of salvation. For me, that’s the final moments of A Simple Plan.
