Customer Ratings & Reviews

As usual, Edward Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, and the others deliver and do not disappoint. Totally my kind of film, to say the least. I do admit to being a huge fan of this team, but this final chapter of "The Cornetto Trilogy" is funny, exciting, and thought provoking. It's a must see. Masterful brilliance at it's best!

This often overlooked third film in Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy is filled with solid action and plenty of humor to boot. This time, series stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost face off evil aliens in this satire of the Body Snatcher films. Yes, “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” are better films, but this movie is still pretty amazing in its own right. Check it out if you haven’t yet and revisit it if you haven’t seen it in awhile. I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed.

Edgar Wright is a great director. This might be his worst film, but that says more about the quality of the director than how good this film is. Wright is a genius visual story teller. It's not as good as Scott Pilgrim, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, or his real gem Baby Driver, but if you love those film this one is a good watch.

I enjoy the Simon Pegg movies from Shawn of the Dead to Hot Fuzz. World's End is another movie that he wrote and acts in. As always there is always a surprise in the plot, which I won't give up for those who haven't viewed it. If you enjoy British humor you will enjoy this movie!

I love Nick Frost and Simon Pegg as actors! Shaun of the Dead is still one of my favorite comedies. And this one is hilarious too. I've been trying to find it at Best Buy for the longest time, and finally did and am thrilled to add it to my collection

I saw this in theaters, bought this Blu-ray years later to get a free pass to another movie... couldn't remember exactly what this was about, so I watched the trailer for "World's End" Yeah, it's a good movie, definitely going to watch it again...

It was pretty funny. It's very clever. I don't even remember this movie being in the theater all those years ago but I found this in the $6 bin and struck gold! If you like the other Simon Pegg movies then you have to watch this one!

This hilarious British comedy features the same folks who brought us “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” so get ready for a good time. This time out, 5 old friends decide to return to their small home town best known for having the world’s first roundabout and The Golden Mile. The later features a series of 12 pubs concluding at The World’s End. Twenty years earlier the boys only made it half way before youthful drinking incapacitated them. Four of the five have moved on, but Gary King (Simon Pegg) aka “The King” (how original) hasn’t. He still wears the same tee-shirt over the same long trench coat that he did we he was 20. He still drives the same car (The Beast), is still irresponsible and well, you get the picture. He decides it would be a good idea to go back home and start over and this time complete their original goal of 1 pint of beer (minimum) at each of the 12 pubs. The other 4, Andy (Nick Frost), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine), and Peter (Eddie Marsan), reluctantly give in and off they go. Along the way, we get plenty of in-the-car-bickering mostly between the alcoholic Gary and the now teetotaler Andy. Directed and co-written (with Pegg) by Edgar Wright, we get just the right amount of obnoxiousness from Gary without wanting to strangle him. In other words, he’s funny. Now all of these would seem a bit much after a while as the guys get progressively drunk, but things get a bit weird. At first Gary notices that the bartenders don’t recognize him. Others seem to be the same age as they were when he left. Rosamund Pike is introduced midway as the Oliver’s sister and former love crush of Steven and Gary. It’s pretty much a thankless role. But she being sober, notices the same aloofness of the locals. If you’ve seen the trailers, you know that the town has been overrun by some strangers who ooze blue blood and emit bright light from their eyes and mouth. Androids to be sure, but the boys just call them robots. In fact, in one of the funnier scenes, the guys sit around the table, pints in hand, and try to come up a name for the robots. Unable to reach a consensus they just call them the “blanks.” Got to love it. As the quintet continue their mission, they have to avoid the “blanks” who want the guys to adapt rather than fight. But the guys are more concerned about getting to The World’s End. For Gary, it is clearly his mission in life. The final act is a doozy with some surprisingly funny and well-staged fight scenes and some hilarious byplay between Gary and a character played by Bill Nighy.

No spoiler alert here. It's a very funny movie, in a British manner. Simon Pegg put together a great cast for this plot, including a former James Bond and Bond Girl. The movie doesn't stall and cleverly leads you to the main plot...all while drinking lots of beer in a pub crawl.

I really enjoyed this movie, but then again I enjoy all of the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movies. Kind of like a British version of Will Farrell/John Reilly. This movie has lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing about where the plot's going and where it will end up.

I have a couple of movies with the crew that is in the movie. The only problem I had was when I put in the code for digital it said it was already in use. This was not open still in the wrapping. The movie is great though.

This is part of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy and is a must have for fans of Edgar Wright. It’s very entertaining and funny. The film is also very well edited and has an excellent pace. I really enjoyed this film.

So, for those in the know, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost have cobbled together a loose trilogy of films relating to three different flavors of Cornetto ice cream cones. Strawberry for the bloody Shaun of the Dead, regular blue for the police comedy Hot Fuzz, and mint chocolate chip for the sci-fi bent The World's End. Now that I got that out of the way, you should infer that this is the group's crack at sci-fi. Even though Simon Pegg moved along to Star Trek, this movie is still very much I their wheelhouse. After a failed suicide attempt, over the hill slacker Gary King has the epiphany that what he needs to get his life back on track is to gather his mates and finish the pub crawl they abandoned back in their youth. Meanwhile, his friends have all moved on to successful careers and families of their own. One of the big themes of the movie is the old saying, you can never go home again. While figurative in real life, the gang realizes that "home" has literally changed beyond recognition. I didn't find it funny in the same ways as its predecessors but it made up for it in melding humor and sci-fi with a story about leaving behind the trivial pursuits of youth and embracing adulthood. That will definitely throw people for a loop as far as expectations but don't write it off before you see it. These three films demonstrate the growth of both Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg as filmmakers. It's not more of the same but that's why it's good. If you're already a fan of these guys, then you'll enjoy it. You can't go wrong with our guys and the added bonus of Eddie Marsan, Martin Freeman, and Paddy Considine. Throw in James Bond himself, Pierce Brosnan, and good times are to be had.

I love the whole cast and the movies premise is just funny and we'll plotted out.....they have movie making down to a science. Every time these 2 get together ....you know your in for some laughs!!

A dark comedy.. up there with Sean of the Dead Loved it. A lot take place at night and the digital transfer is very good. You need a well calibrated system to really see all the detail in this film.

Not quite as good as Shaun of the Dead but a worthwhile movie! Love the cast and always love the British humor; wry and filled with sarcasm at times!

This movie is too funny!!! The Simon Pegg Nick Frost combo has always been funny, since Shaun of the dead. The dry humor and bantor thrown in the movie is so funny. Highly recommend this movie

Found this gem for $5 in one of those bins up front. Happy with this purchase since I really enjoy this movie. Worth every penny.

I have always loved this movie. And when I saw it at Best Buy at a really low price I had to purchase it. This way I can enjoy it nay time I want in Blu-ray.

This movie was always going to have a hard time following up Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but it is a very good film.
