2016 has had its share of incredible, unforgettable cinematic moments, and unavoidably, some disappointments too.

But what about those scenes so mind-blowingly weird you're not sure whether they're actually good or not? Whether intentional or by accident, these 25 scenes from the last year had audiences unsure of quite what they'd just seen, maybe even making them say out loud: "What the f***!?"

From some of the craziest shenanigans yet to occur in Marvel movies to some of the utter nonsense DC fans had to contend with and everything in-between, these moments are for sure the major talking points of their respective movies, good or bad.

Bearing in mind that spoilers will follow for some of the year's biggest films, here are the 25 most WTF moments from 2016 movies...

25. Beastie Boys-Ex Machina - Star Trek Beyond

The crew of the Enterprise figure out that they need to broadcast a discordant signal in order to break the attack formation of Krall's (Idris Elba) army, so they transmit The Beastie Boys' iconic tune "Sabotage", allowing them to destroy the drone swarm and mostly escape unscathed.

It's an hilariously low-fi solution to a huge problem, and while some might dismiss it as too silly (Trekkies can be a fickle bunch), it's a totally bada** moment thanks to use of not just a great song, but a song that has quite the history in the rebooted Trek franchise (as young Kirk favoured it in the first film's flashback sequence).

Still, very, very weird.
