10 Most Intense Pixar Movie Moments
5. Helen Takes On Evelyn Whilst Bob Turns The Rudder - Incredibles 2
The long-awaited sequel to The Incredibles doesn’t match the original when it comes to the quality of the story, but the action sequences are some of the best Pixar have ever produced.
At the end of the movie, Evelyn escapes via a jet, leaving our heroes on a cruise that’s heading directly for a collision with the city. Now free of their Hypno-goggles, Helen goes after the villain whilst Bob attempts to stop the collision.
Helen’s battle with Evelyn is thrilling to watch thanks to the constant sense of motion. As well as falling in and out of Voyd’s portals, Helen is thrown about inside Evelyn’s jet and ends up diving into a freefall pursuit with her target.
Bob, meanwhile, is deprived of oxygen beneath the water as he attempts to turn the cruise’s rudder. After several tense minutes, he accomplishes his task and breaks back to the surface with a gasp of air.
The combination of Helen’s dynamic, mid-air chase and Bob’s asphyxiation beneath the waves makes the end of Incredibles 2 a thrill to watch. And when you add Michael Giacchino’s soundtrack into the mix, you’ve got the perfect formula for a gripping climax.
