Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
thomasjay-52277 Despite not necessarily having some of the qualities of the other two 'Cornetto films' this is more of a character study than what we've seen before with the narrative showing the personal evolution undertaken by Pegg's Gary King. A lot more poignant than its predecessors the Worlds end still has the Wright features and style which add a lot of fun to the run time. Just as brisk and fun as the other two it's perfect for a rainy day
Steven Moore I have just watched this on Netflix, thank goodness I didn't go to the cinema to see it. Maybe it's my age but the whole premise of a pub crawl with unwilling participants, on tea total, which turn up anyway was a bit far fetched. Then we had the village with 12 pubs, how do they make any money? Taken over by androids with some higher motivation of galactic good or was it evil, who knows or even cares. So it was really just an excuse for 5 actors to badly act drunk and destroy a lot of zombies, sorry robots in ridiculous fighting scenes. Not very funny and a complete waste of talent and time.
sleijeri Seen many of the Pegg and Frost movies and most of them have been funny, but this just didn't deliver. The movie has a good idea for a story, but somehow I just didn't see how this would have fit in to that.The "blanks" was a good surprise for the movie and how the movie reveled it was surely nice! I liked it, because I did't read anything about this film (obviously to avoid spoilers) before I watched this. So from that side, the movie had a nice surprise to it.
Gavin Purtell I find it very odd that identical film concepts always seem to appear within a few months of each other, even if they were conceived totally in isolation - 'Olympus Has Fallen'/'White House Down', 'Deep Impact'/'Armageddon', 'This Is The End'/'The World's End'. In this case, although I liked 'This Is The End', I enjoyed 'The World's End' much more. It is faster paced, has more laugh-out-loud moments, a better soundtrack and a more satisfying conclusion.Yes, it's the end of the "Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy", but hopefully only the middle of Wright/Frost/Pegg's working career together, since 'Spaced', 'Shaun of the Dead' & 'Hot Fuzz' have all been great. This film takes plenty of time to establish the characters and give them each a backstory. Once they eventually discover the "blanks", they're a quarter of the way through the pub crawl - "The Golden Mile". Best quote - Pegg to Frost: "A man of your legendary prowess drinking rain! It's like a lion eating humus!"From there on, it's a battle - literally, with the Pierce Brosnan-led "blanks" - and verbally between the "five musketeers", as Pegg tries to get them to all twelve pubs, despite their dire circumstances. There are plenty of throwbacks to 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers', and the action really ramps up in the last 30min. The best bit is probably Bill Nighy at the end, with Pegg & Frost arguing with him and using the refrain of "Because I'm free, to do what I want, to be what I want, any old time. And I'm free, to be who I choose, to get my booze, any old time" which has been recurring since the start of the film (from the Soup Dragons' 1990 cover, not the Rolling Stones' 1965 original).
