3* It's a low-key example, but it's definitely awesome: Theo's face when Kee's pregnancy is first revealed to him. If anybody wondered what a person would look like upon beholding the salvation of humanity... well, now we know.
4** Even more awesome: The Uprising stops just to hear the the first cries of a baby in 18 years. All the gunfire, screaming, crying, it all goes completely silent. People reach out to touch Kee and Dylan, some refugee women softly sing to her as the trio passes, soldiers kneel and cross themselves. In the middle of an active warzone with bodies covering the street, everyone quietly clears a path for them to let the infant who may be hold the key to preventing humanity's extinction pass through the carnage unscathed. The complete reverence and uniting of humanity over this miracle in the midst of violence is amazing.
5* Theo and Marichka beating the living daylights out of Syd and eventually killing him.
6* The long, uninterrupted shot scene during the climax when Theo runs, hides, and dodges his way through a violent warzone to rescue Kee is so beautifully done as to be awesome all by itself. The fact that Theo does all this for someone he just met while being completely unarmed and without any wartime experience merely adds to it.
