The World's End
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost return for a follow up to Shaun of the Dead, and the gore filled police buddy comedy Hot Fuzz in The World's End.
Annoying man child Gary King (Pegg) returns to his old teenage stomping grounds with 4 childhood chronies including a reluctant Andy Knightley (Frost) to conquer the elusive golden mile pub crawl. 12 pubs, 12 pints and whatever memories survive in between. Unfortunately for the group the new rule has no patience for the old ways and progressively get meaner the closer the friends get to the finish.
World's End is a simple premise mixed in overly strange visuals. Fans of the rest of the trilogy will find lots to enjoy in World's End and anyone who follows Pegg's career will see lots of familiar faces along the way! I would have liked the film to be a little more graphic and have a little more an edge, but I still enjoyed World's End immensely. Simon Pegg is as likable as ever and you really feel for him as he tries to reconnect with his past. Aliens, lots of beer, action, lots more beer, brit humour, and yes even more beer! This thing is Sci Fi beer porn, almost makes me want to go on a pub crawl. One that actually goes to pubs and not douchy clubs (does that exist?) It's probably the worst of the trilogy, but it's slight and I still would consider this trilogy perfect!
