Genre: Comedy, Sci-Fi
Year of release: 2013
Director: Edgar Wright
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman
The third and final film in the ‘three favours cornetto
trilogy’, The Worlds End once again stars Simon Pegg as “Gary King”, self-proclaimed
king of drinking and alcohol of he and his friends’ hometown. 20 years on from
their departure, he and his 4 mates (featuring Nick Frost and Martin Freeman)
attempt to take on their previously liver-conquering pub crawl: The Golden
Mile.
Just like in his other two movies of this trilogy, Edgar
Wright uses his filming and scenic shots to create humour and suspense
throughout the movie. Close ups of drinks, metaphorical pub names such as “hole
in the wall” (where a car literally drives through the pub wall) and “the first
post” (their first pub visit for the crawl) create hidden comedy for the
audience to enjoy. In addition, he manages to satire the sci-fi alien genre,
while still making his alien take-over a town movie suspenseful and dramatic.
Wonderful.
Overall, this film is a cult classic for the ages, with its
hilarious storyline, great characters and character development, and overall
quality filmmaking, it’s hard to go past this one for a better comedy movie,
bar a few other greats.
Final rating: 9.1/10 fudges.
