THE WORLD’S END    3.3****

 

       

     Everyone remembers the best night of their life. The one thing we all have in common with our best night is that you never wanted it to end. You and your friends all have those stories, the ones we tell about that perfect night. But you and your friends don't have a story like the group of guys in this movie. Well unless your story can top saving the world, all while making a pub run… didn't think so.

Gary (Simon Pegg) was the cool guy in High School you wanted to be like. Good looking, fun, and didn't care about what anyone thought of him. Gary had a group of four friends who followed him and in  1990 they tried to do the golden mile, a trip to twelve pubs, a pint at each, ending at The World's End Pub. They did not make it, but it was still one of those one of a kind nights. Flash forward twenty years later and Gary wants to finish what they couldn't finish twenty years earlier. Things have changed though, only Gary has remained the same, somehow he convinces the group  to give it another try, and they head back home to finish the golden mile. Something about the town is different though, the townspeople are strange and weird. It’s like the town has been taken over by alien robots ( sort of like the “Stepford Wives) and duh, that’s it.  That doesn't stop Gary from wanting to complete what he came to do. All he and his friends have to do is fight the evil robots and make it to The World's End.

This is the last of 3 movies in the”'Cornetto' Trilogy” Some of you may be asking what the 'Cornetto' trilogy is.. It is "Shaun of the Dead, "Hot Fuzz", and the grand finale "The World's End". The series gets its name from Cornetto Ice Cream, which makes an appearance in all three films. The other thing all three films have in common is that they were all written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg and directed by Edgar Wright and has most of the same characters led by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.  It is really hard to not enjoy a movie like "The World's End",  a movie that provides you with most of what you need in a Sci-Fi comedy . I suggest you to go to your local cinema and watch one of the strangest, funniest  movies of the summer. And in fact the only thing that could make it any better, would be to enjoy a Cornetto ice cream, while you watch a neat way to end the Cornetto Trilogy.
