* Despite being a total bitch to James, you could at least sympathise with her when she [[TearsOfFear broke down crying in front of him]] when James gave her the BrutalHonesty of how her bunker is not sufficient enough to keep them safe, no less surviving the surface when the rations run out. Besides, if you were in her shoes you would react the same.

* [[RadioVoice The operator of radio VK6DF]]. Having the despondent tone and voice of detailing what the current state of the Earth throughout the film easily creates the somber atmospheric tone of how everyone on this Earth is going to die and that every form of life will be extinguished. The only thing he can do at-least in running that radio station is to give everyone comfort while they're with their loved ones and families and some consolation that [[WeWillMeetAgain they might meet again when it is all over]].

* Near the end of the movie, James watches Rose in the rearview mirror chasing after him. This scene doubles as a tearjerker and a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. On one hand, they're both about to die a fiery death along with the rest of the world, but on the other, it's touching to see that James actually found hope and a final chance for redemption thanks to Rose, and Rose is expressing her final gratitude to him for his efforts to escort her to her father. Just try watching this scene and keeping your eyes dry.

Given its plot about how everyone is 12 hours away from death, it goes without saying that ''the whole movie'' is a tear-jerker. But that's not to say it doesn't have moments that stand out as being particularly depressing.
