Largely filmed in the town where I live, apparently because Simon Pegg lives nearby and always wanted to make a film during the day and still being able to be home with his feet up in front of the fire by the evening. The extra bonus, of course, is that I get to see my town blown up!
So its a bit of a shame to say that it is probably the weakest of the three Cornetto films - not that it isn't very good, just it does not quite reach the heights of the first two.
The DVD itself was particularly disappointing. The main thing you buy a DVD is for the extras, and (for all of the above reasons) I was really looking forward to a "making of" - and its rubbish. Seriously - a total waste of space.

Product description
Twenty years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub The World's End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The World's End is the least of their worries.

Entertaining film - but the DVD extras are forgetable.

No dead end here!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2015Verified Purchase
After the relatively disappointing 'Hot Fuzz', 'The World's End' brings the Cornetto Trilogy to a fitting end. This is a denser, perhaps more serious story, for all its robot humanoids and superbly choreographed fights; characters have proper backstories beyond the school pals reunion set-up and even the alien-takeover plot is less one-dimensional than you'd expect. Edgar Wright's direction has matured too. Sure he still uses his arsenal of visual tricks, but in a much more contained way than in 'Shaun of the Dead' or 'Hot Fuzz'.
The Blu-Ray has an astonishing amount of extras in terms of features (nearly all of which are comprehensive and, more importantly, interesting!) and the commentary is everything you'd expect.
'Shaun of the Dead', however, remains this team's crowning glory, in my view. I might admire the maturity that Pegg, Frost & Wright have attained here, but the first film has a unique energy borne out of the experiences of 'Spaced' that means it never outstays its welcome and makes it endlessly re-watchable.

The end of the world at the World's End
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2018Verified Purchase
This comedy is the third in the Simon Pegg / Nick Frost Trilogy & see's the boys going back to their home village to complete a pub crawl that they failed to do as youths.
It soon become clear that the village has changed????
Great comedy & story line but I found it was better on the second watching as you tend to miss salient points on the first watch.

The end of the Trilogy. Want a cornetto?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2014Verified Purchase
If you don't like Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, then this won't change you mind. On the other hand, My wife and I loved this. She thought that Gary King (Simon Pegg) was an exaggerated version of Me! I'm not. I just don't believe in growing up...
The story is a bit contrived, but the end is exactly what it says: The End of the World. A Pub,
There are lots of haters out there, but the extras give you a clue as to some of the story's twists and turns. I'm known for spotting these secrets in films, but even I missed a few of these.
So, if you liked the other films, you'll buy this anyway. If you haven't watched the others, don't worry, they not a series where you have to watch them in order. I really do like this film, but hot fuzz is the best of the trilogy, even though it's not an apocalyptic film like the other two.
The World's End is still massively better than 2012! But what isn't?

A quality film with some of the best quotes towards the end :')
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2016Verified Purchase
This is ne of those films i will always watch again. The comedy in it is ingenious and the Pegg-Frost charm is yet to wear off.This is probably my favourite of all the similar films (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul) as it has the most inventive humour. its also nice to see Martin Freeman in the film! the thing i most love about the film is the reversed role of the two main characters, in all other of their films Nick has always been the Stupid, childish one and Simon has always been the adult, sensible one; its nice to see this reversed for a film!
