      Critics Consensus

      Madcap and heartfelt, Edgar Wright's apocalypse comedy The World's End benefits from the typically hilarious Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, with a plethora of supporting players.

      Gaming U Fantastic film with a great ending Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/24 Full Review Zola L Great first half, which felt more in keeping with the early two Cornetto films. But it really went off the rails in the last 45 minutes or so withe clumsy alien invasion sub-plot bogged things down to a messy, incoherent crawl. To an extent it is like a remake of the excellent "Shaun of the Dead", but ended up being far too reliant on OTT CGI-generated fight scenes, poorly defined characters that you really don't care about that much, and a terribly ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Jack S The best pub crawl mixes with the best sci fi and the best questions. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Alec C Prepare for the last night of your life, ending at the literally "The World's End"! Gary King reunites with his old college friends to finish the pub crawl in their hometown of Newton Haven, where they discover an extraterrestrial invasion hiding under their feet! A proper mix of entertainment and emotionality, this ends the trillogy of Wright's Three Flavors on an emotional high note! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Georgan G Simon Pegg & Nick Frost are always fun to watch, but others were, too. But there is a very dark undercurrent of addiction and suicide. The film was not what I expected but I ended up liking it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review John Francis Y Best alien invasion comedy movie Edgar Wright made. Though when placed next to the other Cornetto Trilogy (Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead) it kind of the weakest link. But its still a great movie made by Edgar Wright.

      Deborah Ross The Spectator Either I've been slowly losing my sense of humour over the years - nope, just checked my pockets; still there - or these films been operating to the law of diminishing returns. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk Where Shaun Of The Dead was inspired, this is comfortingly repetitive. But hey, isn't that the main attraction of any pub? Rated: 3/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire It is a more mature piece of work, which seems a peculiar way to label a zippy comedy about drinking beer and outrunning the apocalypse. Jun 19, 2016 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 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. Rated: 5/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review [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. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 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...
