| 1 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Well, duh, it's a Creator/RolandEmmerich film. We dare you to watch the thrilling climax in which a colossal ark careens through the flooded Himalayas and not enjoy it. |
| 2 | ** Really, the whole movie is basically a SceneryPorn snuff film--it sets up beautiful scenes and shots and then gleefully destroys them. |
| 3 | ** This really is a film to watch on a really big screen for the effects, or to play "I-Spy lazily-used tropes". Except for the sequence driving/flying through Los Angeles as its geology blows it apart, where it becomes undeniably ''awesome''. |
| 4 | * Yuri socking the guard, then leading the charge to get the refugees to the arks. "FOLLOW ME!" |
| 5 | ** He then helps his children on board when it looks like all three of them won't get on. He ''tosses'' one of his children onboard at the cost of his life just to be sure both survive. |
| 6 | * The Yellowstone Caldera's eruption. |
| 7 | * "Engine...''' ''start'''''." |
| 8 | * Emmerich sure loves destroying the White House. He's had [[Film/IndependenceDay aliens blow it up]], then he [[Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow froze it solid]] (though off-screen), so how does he top those two? He ''has an aircraft carrier crush it into rubble!'' |
| 9 | * In a DeletedScene, Adrian, after enduring one snide remark too many from [[JerkAss Anhaueser]], slugs the asshole. |
| 10 | * Every glorious, [[ChewingTheScenery scenery chewing second]] Charlie Frost is on screen |
| 11 | * Lama Rinpoche gets a quiet one, calmly ringing the bell of his monastery as though sounding a funeral toll for the dead as a tsunami ''crests the Himalayas'' and shatters it. |
| 12 | * Tamara flipping off Yuri for leaving her to die. |
