The World's End (2013)

Despite not necessarily having some of the qualities of the other two 'Cornetto films' this is more of a character study than what we've seen before with the narrative showing the personal evolution undertaken by Pegg's Gary King. A lot more poignant than its predecessors the Worlds end still has the Wright features and style which add a lot of fun to the run time. Just as brisk and fun as the other two it's perfect for a rainy day

I have just watched this on Netflix, thank goodness I didn't go to the cinema to see it. Maybe it's my age but the whole premise of a pub crawl with unwilling participants, on tea total, which turn up anyway was a bit far fetched. Then we had the village with 12 pubs, how do they make any money? Taken over by androids with some higher motivation of galactic good or was it evil, who knows or even cares. So it was really just an excuse for 5 actors to badly act drunk and destroy a lot of zombies, sorry robots in ridiculous fighting scenes. Not very funny and a complete waste of talent and time.

So underrated, best one, so clever, will watch again and again!

As a fan of several of the cast members, I was quite looking forward to this film but ultimately found it disappointing.Make no mistake this film does not even come close to Shaun of the Dead, and should not even be mentioned in the same paragraph. Well that was a clever parody of the zombie genre and yet still a good zombie film in its own right. It was funny and endearing, you cared about the characters and it was a film you could watch over and over.This film, on the other hand, has no endearing characters and while it is funny at times, those times are too few and far between. It's contributes nothing to the Sci-Fi genre , and actually seems like a feature film parody of a single Doctor Who episode. However Doctor Who does a better job of parodying itself and the Sci-Fi genre at large. Actually, any single episode of Doctor Who is superior to this film on every level. This film also pretends to be an action film at times...but it is no Jackie Chan feature...if you want to watch mindless fight scenes you might as well go find some old episodes of Xena or Kevin Sorbo's Hercules.As a final note the plot is also nonsensical, but I barely mention that as it seems to revel in this fact. Saying that the lack of a plot is the point...I guess that's as good as an excuse as any, or you could just see it as a cop out. Some claim that there is a real backstory with some dramatic value, I would dispute this and found at best it reached the levels of false sentimentality.So to conclude, this film and the characters difficulties in their quest to slog through to the world's end are an excellent metaphor for the difficulties I had in sitting through the film itself. I had as much difficulty getting to the World's End as they did. My advice is to save your 2 hours Andrey watch Shaun of the Dead instead.
