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.
