Director
Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for a third film
following the successes Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). In The
World's End, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends
reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again.
They are convinced to stage an encore by Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old
man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to
their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub – The World's
End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real
struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The
World's End is the least of their worries.As a whole, this movie is
beyond silly and completely pointless. However, I really like watching Simon
Pegg and Nick Frost together. They just make me laugh regardless of what is
happening in the movie or how over the top it goes. Their chemistry is
priceless and always hits me as funny. Breaking it down to
recommendation - I would say that if you feel the same way as I do about their
previous offerings - then you should check this movie out. If you never saw any
of their previous offerings there really isn't a reason to start now and if you
didn't like them - you will definitely not like this one.
