The Moment: Beautiful blonde lifeguard C.J. Parker (Kelly Rohrbach) runs towards her colleagues in glorious, seemingly never-ending slow-motion.

Why It Will Define 2017: Pamela Anderson became a pop-culture icon thanks to her unforgettable performance as C.J. in the original Baywatch TV show, and the new movie is clearly trying its hardest to re-imagine the character as another gorgeous sex symbol for a new generation.

Considering Rohrbach's undeniable beauty, the jaw-dropping use of slow-motion and the film's hilarious self-awareness in this regard (the trailer shows Alexandra Daddario and Jon Bass' characters even commenting on the slow-mo), this moment is sure to burn its way into the minds of red-blooded males the world over.
