But after a bizarre series of encounters with the out-of-this-world locals, they soon realize that reaching their final pub, The World's End, may be the least of their troubles"--Container.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Left Field submitted by cherylo on July 11, 2014, 10:04pm If you are a fan of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, why are you even reading this? Go watch this film.

If you not familiar with Simon Pegg's work with his longtime writing partner, then this may not be the place to start, depending on how much absurdity and embarrassment you are prepared to swallow at once. Other, potentially more accessible, places to dip in to their body of joint work include Shaun of the Dead (their homage to zombie movies), Hot Fuzz (a cop adventure send-up), and Paul (possibly one of the best films around with grey aliens in it).

With a plan for epic alcohol consumption to relive and fondly remember their possibly fictitiously golden youth, what starts out as a reluctant gathering of old pals takes a turn for the decidedly odd somewhere in the middle. Scenery-chewing performances from much of the cast make this a fun movie to watch, and Pierce Brosnan's appearance is particularly memorable. Don't expect a neat, happy wrap-up kind of ending, but enjoy the mind bending ride while it lasts.

Funny submitted by Kaydence paige on August 25, 2014, 6:16pm While this movie is funny it is not as good as some of their other movies.

The World's End Forever submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on August 20, 2015, 12:25pm The World's End is a funny, poignant, and superbly crafted movie. There is a hard look at friendship and nostalgia mixed together with a science fictional "something rotten under a quaint veneer" plot that works so well hits. The action and quips and emotional beats balance wonderfully. It takes the positives and negatives of reliving one's glory days to wild extremes but also shows genuine character impact. Simon Pegg is fantastic in it, and so is Nick Frost. It's my favorite Edgar Wright film (so far) and one of my favorite movies outright.
