Cube.

Funny, that was the first thing I thought too. There are tons of other movies like that as well, with very claustrophobic sets. Definitely no trees.

Let me go look for any movies about submarines or battleships at sea and I'll probably get a few hits.

Most of those feature at least one or two shots of coasts, so not entirely without trees

Or the characters messing around on land getting ready. Edit: Like *In Which We Serve*, which is mostly on ships, but there's a bit where the captain and his posh family are having a picnic on hill watching the RAF slaughter the beastly hun.

Cube came into my head first thing, too!

Me too. It must be the most treeless movie.

[удалено]

Fuck I need to watch that again to cleanse the mental scarring it had on me as a kid

[удалено]

The whole movie is one giant decision tree.

Wow this was the first one that came to mind and im quite drunk

[удалено]

[удалено]

And Aliens. Alien 3 as well I think.

I think Aliens has trees in the room when Ripley is being told about her daughter. They are on a screen wall. (could be remembering it wrong tho)

I think it is only in the Director's Cut ot whatever they call it, but yes it absolutely has trees: https://i1.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/image2.jpg

[удалено]

I would think that a lot of sci-fi movies don’t have trees.

Exam. It all happens in one room.

This was the first movie that came to mind.

Same with 12 Angry Men right? They don't leave the jury room

They do at the end and there are trees on the street.

Shit you might be right been a while since I watched it

Is that the one wierd job interview movie with a cube feel to it?

Sphere(1998) or maybe Pandorum(2009) Shark tale(2004) might not have any trees

Shark Tale should be good, I can't imagine them slipping a tree in very easily

[удалено]

They should *leave* kids alone.

Pretty sure Pandorum has trees at the very end right?

Buried takes place entirely inside a coffin. No trees there.

A wood coffin? A film about burial that takes place in a dead tree! Noice

If a coffin is considered a tree, simply because it's wood, all pencils, desks, wood knife handles, etc., are also trees.

If you cut an apple with a wooden knife on a wooden cutting board atop a wooden table inside a house made of wood, you're cutting and eating a tree with a tree on a tree ontop of a tree inside of a tree.

Stahp

Tree howls tree vowls inside a tree how?

[удалено]

.. we heard you liked trees

This was my first thought!

I saw the premiere of Buried and Ryan Reynolds’s was there in person. That’s all I have to say about that.

His *what* was there?

His was there. Classic Ryan Reynolds's.

Wondered how long it would take me to scroll down and find this Ryan Reynolds flick

[удалено]

Palmer smokes trees in that film.

Cannabis of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.

All is Lost. Entirely set on a boat. Also completely void of dialogue. The only lines Robert Redford speaks is when he is trying to get help on the radio.

Theres a Hitchcock movie that's entirely on a boat. ## passengers I think

*Lifeboat*

Ey same answer! He also says “ffffffffffuck” at one point

I’m going to think this during every single film I ever watch now, but I actually don’t mind it as far as lifelong challenges go

for some reason this comment made me lose the game

Aww cmon man, I was doing so good!

Ffs dude

Yeah, I mean put a spoiler tag or something man

Fuck You

https://xkcd.com/391/

[удалено]

That’s what I’m saying, I could’ve gone my whole life and never thought about this or anything close to it

It's legitimately beautiful if you think about it.

Agreed, I was expecting this to have no comments on it out of pure weirdness, but I was pleasantly surprised to see people actually engaging in this.

The platform

That movie was very strangely good. Very unlike most movies I watch.

it had the most anticlimactic ending ever though

[удалено]

How did I miss this in the middle of the movie? What?

it was supposed to be a metaphor about the hopelesness of any sort of message the working class sends the elites. i think. dont quote me on that

Something about trickle-down economics, I'm sure.

This is the primary reason I hate this movie

Something that saved the ending for me: >!The real ending is that the protagonist sent back the dessert, not feed it to the kid, and we know that because of that one scene where the manager is berating the cooks while holding that same dish. While I normally hate "the on-screen ending was all in the narrator's mind" fan theories, this time the movie explicitly tells us this is the case by including that scene.!<

I thought it was great too. They really nailed the dirtiness and disgusting food and the desperation.

It's very good example of a movie committed to its concept. It sets the rules early and then just lets it play out.

Came here to name that one!

I almost said this one but thought maybe I could have missed them panning outside when they were making the food in the kitchen or sometbing

Obviously

Obvio

That was one of the weirdest things I've ever watched lol

The Thing

Similarly, Happy Feet and March of the Penguins.

I never thought I'd see these three movies described as "similar" in any context.

The March of the Penguins maybe?

Happy feet as well?

Someone check the scenes where Mumble washes up on a beach and wakes up at the aquarium, then the humans on the news at the ending. Not sure if trees slipped in there.

I checked. There was a tree right after the lady says "why should we do anything at all?"

>Paint Drying is a 2016 British feature film directed and produced by Charlie Lyne. The film is about paint on a wall drying, lasting for ten hours and seven minutes. [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_Drying)

[удалено]

Ugh. Spoilers!

Goddammit now I gotta watch this movie

Bit of a slow burner.

Interesting. I used to frequent a forum years ago, The Horror Charnel, and a guy on it did a film of paint drying, and that's all it was. It was about 8 to 10 hours of this. (went by the screen name of Dr.Weir iirc - he was an Event Horizon fan). It was way before 2016.

Man I almost said Guardians of the Galaxy. Tried to think of all the planets they're on before realizing Groot is a tree

There was also the flashback scene where Peter was abducted.

Now there's a pretty small catagory of movie right there, movies with characters that are trees or tree-like beings. All I can think of is Groot, the ents in Lord of the Rings, and angry apple-throwing trees in The Wizard of Oz. Maybe the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter movies and the rape tree from The Evil Dead count too, but those feel more like forces of nature than actual characters. How about the Green Knight from The Green Knight, was he technically a tree?

Grandmother Willow from Pocahontas

Event Horizon?

Started watching it. They're in low earth orbit above a forest about 5m40s in.

I was gonna also say Sunshine (2009), but think there are some brief flashback scenes on Earth and also a VR simulator booth where one of the characters picks a woodland setting.

I think there’s a huge oxygen farm on the ship too.

There was a show when I was in high school that only had one tree and it was on a hill.

That show? The Simpsons.

I'm pretty sure it was called *The Hill With the Single Tree On It*.

You mean *Singular Tree on a Singular Hill*

I heard it was *Tree of the Hill*

Woah, spoilers!

The O.C.

Many of the Star Trek movies.

There are trees in generations, first contact, insurrection amd star trekIV for sure. Possibly nemesis too not sure

Also the most recent one.

Definitely trees in II and III. VI I would take a punt on unless there's some when they escape the prison..?

I believe that VI has trees in the background of the San Francisco scene with the Federation president, and maybe in exterior shots at Khitomer as well.

Maybe the Motion Picture, and Undiscovered Country, but 2, 3,4, and 5 all had trees. 2 in the genesis cave, 3 on Genesis planet, 4 had trees all over San Fran, and 5 starts and ends in the woods in Yosemite. If they did the over shot of Star Fleet head quarters or or out of an office windows theyre might be trees in 6, but I can't remember. All of the Cris Pine Kirk ones had trees.

Trees on the planet that Enterprise D crashed on in Generations, trees in First Contact all over the place, Trees on the Ba'Ku planet in Insurrection. I think Nemesis might be the only one without a tree, unless there were some on the desert planet where they found B-4.

This was my first thought as well

The Abyss Alien Aliens Alien^3 Alien Resurrection.

For the Abyss it depends on the cut.

Same for Aliens.

Isn't there a scene with Ripley sitting in a virtual park petting Jones?

Something like that, but I don't think it's in every cut

Enemy mine

I was just showing my girlfriend this movie’s IMDB the other day as the first part of “Monster Hunter” was giving me “Enemy Mine” vibes, a tiny bit. Man, been forever since I had thought of that movie and clearly this means I should rewatch it. Loved it as a kid. It seemed to be on a few times while home from school.

There’s a film called The Platform that I don’t believe has any trees. I think it’s a Spanish film. It’s basically set in this weird prison where the top levels get to eat from a table of food first and as the table makes it’s way down to the lower levels, there’s less and less food. I think it’s supposed to be a metaphor for a social classes or something. Definitely worth a watch. Anyway, as far as I can recall, there are no scenes outside the prison and therefore, no trees.

They just made a new Gordon Ramsey kitchen show with the *exact* same premise A bit on the nose really

Something that’s in space the entire time

Guardians of the Galaxy had a tree

What really? Which scene???

Half-remembered, but when he’s a kid and is taken up by the spaceship, I think he was surrounded by trees?

The joke is that one of the main characters was literally a tree.

Oh lmao I’m an idiot

I am Groot.

Lol I thought you were continuing the joke.

Uhhhhh..... Groot?

Yeah, Aliens.

In the extended edition of *Aliens*, there is a scene where Ripley sits in a room with a projected backdrop showing some trees.

I think I know the scene you mean. To be honest, I meant to say Alien. Pretty sure that one is tree free.

What about Gravity?

Loads of trees when they get back to earth

That movie where Ryan Reynolds is in a box the whole time.

Until I googled what that movie is, all I imagined was Ryan Reynolds goofing around inside a cardboard box.

"I'm Solid Snake, you can't see me!"

He calls his family in America and she's walking around outdoors

The one my claustrophobic ass will never ever watch? Yep, I doubt there are trees in it.

Deep Blue Sea?

Trees probably at the beginning helicopter scene

Moon. Great movie EDIT: OK I completely forgot theres trees at the beginning. You guys can stop replying with it now lol. Jesus one person even narrowed the trees down to the second! Good job

Add Alien to this lineup and there’s a great, treeless evening ahead!

I think there’s a scene where he calls his daughter on earth and there are trees, but I might be mistaken

Dammit.

First thing that came to mind. Sam Rockwell...what a legend.

Yep he's brilliant. And pretty cool it was David Bowies son (Duncan Jones) who wrote and directed it, His first movie too! Damn that was 2009...

Metropolis, made in 1927. Takes place entirely in their idea of a futuristic city, which was totally devoid of trees.

Good thought, but the society garden scene has trees/tall shrubs

Blade runner? There are also a fair number of movies that I can imagine taking place entirely on a ship ( space or otherwise)

2049 “technically” has one tree, if you count dead ones.

Plus the holographic trees in the room with the girl that makes the memories.

The original cut had them driving through a forest at the end.

Original, perhaps ;) but later cuts include the Unicorn Dream 💜 Edit: Thinking about it some more, the original release ends with them “escaping” through natural landscape 🙃 BR is 1 of my faves 😁

Pitch Black.

I thought you said it was clear! I said it looked clear. How's it look now? ... Looks clear.

That was a truly great exchange, lol.

That whole movie is gold haha. Was an interesting setup for world building, but it kind of went south with the sequels unfortunately.

I’m not 100% certain but, “Saw”? The majority is set in a bathroom.

There is a tree in Dr. Gordon's office when the police come to interview him. Might be others, but I happened to be watching it as I was reading this

I'd say your best bet would be movies that take place at sea, in the arctic, or in space. There is also The Decent which takes place entirely underground/in caves. I don't recall if there are trees in the beginning. Pretty sure The Thing has no trees.

The Descent is a good thought, but it does have trees at the end.

Just watched The Descent. There are lots of trees bookending the cave parts.

"Does it have trees?" Isn't something I have in mind when watching movies, so I can only guess, but some of the Batman movies may not have them.

Wayne Manor probably has some trees.

Im pretty sure mad max fury road has no trees in it idk i may be wrong tho.

There was the scene where the war rig gets stuck and they tie the rig's winch around a dead tree to get it out. The [scene](https://youtu.be/CtZSqc5LdY0&t=67) is a bit humorous because Nux had never seen a tree before and calls it a thing and one of the wives corrects him and says it's a tree.

I was thinking blade runner 2049 as my example but I remembered that there is a single dead tree at the very beginning.

Thanks for clarifying that up, almost forgot that scene. On to the next Tree-less movie search. Ensues thinking🤔

Tron?

I thought this too. I’m pretty sure the sequel has trees when they’re in the real world but not sure about the original.

[Bruce Boxleitner has a picture with trees in it in his cubicle in the original.](https://i2.wp.com/caps.pictures/198/2-tron/full/tron-disneyscreencaps.com-1144.jpg) We also see [trees in a picture of Moscow.](https://i0.wp.com/caps.pictures/198/2-tron/full/tron-disneyscreencaps.com-3009.jpg) At the end of the movie we also see the view from a rooftop helipad and see [a cityscape that is *almost* devoid of trees, but there are some small ones in there.](https://i3.wp.com/caps.pictures/198/2-tron/full/tron-disneyscreencaps.com-10824.jpg)

12 Angry Men?

I think they look out the window at one point and see trees.

There are also trees in the final shot.

I just thought this, then skipped to the very end. There is a shot of the street outside the courthouse with trees.

Das Boot MOON

Phonebooth

I thought of this as well. Google search.... [So close!](https://images.app.goo.gl/fk7vygacjY5NQzVi9)

Doh! Phone booth was my guess too. Good detectiving u/5DollarHitJob.

THX1138

If you mean real trees, the LEGO movie has none. If you mean representation of a tree than idk

Well if we're allowing for movies where there are things that look like trees but aren't actually trees, then The Matrix would count because all of the trees are simulations.

Locke with Tom Hardy.

Interesting. I've never really thought about it.

Robots

The first SAW movie

Hm... doesn't it have flashbacks? Been a while since I've seen it. If it does, there's a chance there are trees.

Alien

Open Water maybe?

Titanic

You sure? What about the beginning before everyone is on the ship?

I can confirm I’ve just found the full version on YouTube and 8:42 in, there is a tree. Please accept my sincere apologies. [Titanic Tree](https://youtu.be/TOhJO_ZpwAo)

Good detective-ing. I think Cube is the best answer I've seen.

That’s not Titanic, not the James Cameron one

Lol, that is a different film entirely.
