The World's End [Blu-ray] [2013]

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!

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 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

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.

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.

I liked the movie, it was funny and had a surprise twist, but a lot of rehashed physical comedy.

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.

Same production company who brought us the great comedies "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" complete the trilogy with "The World's End". Not unlike its predecessors, World's End is an epic adventure comedy that finds the group bar hopping through an eccentric village to the end. It's what you would expect by now from these guys, great script/writing, acting, and production. Hopefully they do another movie one day. In the meantime this movie is a must see if you like fun adventure comedy.
