For Gary King (Simon Pegg) and Andy Knightley (Nick Frost) it was supposed to be the ultimate reunion- one night, five friends, twelve bars. A boozy quest to 'The World End' pub on which only the strongest will survive. Having the time of their lives, they're ready to take on the world...but tonight they might just have to save it. From Edgar Wright, Director of 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz', comes a wildly entertaining thrill ride of outrageous humor and explosive action that will raise a glass to the apocalypse.

Reviews

The Wolfman Cometh

Patrick Cavanaugh

Like what Wright, Pegg, and Frost did for horror and action, this third entry into the Cornetto Trilogy similarly lampooned while also paying tribute to the sci-fi genre, while also delivering plenty of heart.

[The movie takes] an exhausted genre and suffusing it with energy, wit, and technical bravado, but perhaps most importantly, three-dimensional characters whose serious interpersonal relationships extend the cultish material beyond its usual limitations.

This is more ambitious than Wright and Pegg’s previous pairings, daring to go a little darker and take on the arrested adolescence and the frustrations of adult accommodation...

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Don Shanahan

Another hour of drunken renewed bonding would have been wonderful, but the bright idea swerve of the alien invasion takes over and it all goes off the rails.

In many ways, Gary is a more tragic extension of Pegg's titular character in Shaun of the Dead, a slacker who never got his sh*t together and is running out of time to do so.
