---|---|---|
Gary King (Simon Pegg)Perpetually stuck in his teenage glory years, Gary King’s life has been plagued by bad decisions and substance abuse problems ever since. But when a drunken night out with his childhood friends turns into an epic battle for survival, this immature loser may be humanity’s best (and only) hope. |
Steven Prince (Paddy Considine)After their failed attempt at the Golden Mile, Steven Prince moved away to begin a career in construction. Despite his great annoyance with Gary, Steven agrees to return for another attempt at the pub crawl, and finds an unexpected chance to reconnect with the girl of his dreams. |
Andy Knightley (Nick Frost)Having sworn off alcohol (and all contact with Gary) after a drunk driving accident, lawyer Andy Knightley reluctantly agrees to join his old friends for the Golden Mile. But after his first encounter with the Blanks, Andy will need something a bit stronger than water to calm his nerves. |

Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman)Now a successful real estate agent, Oliver Chamberlain decides to recreate the drunken antics of his youth with his old friends. Though he only lasted halfway through their first attempt at the Golden Mile before getting sick, Oliver soon discovers there are much worse ways for a pub crawl to prematurely end. |
Peter Page (Eddie Marsan)Following their unsuccessful attempt at the Golden Mile, Peter Page took a job at his father’s car dealership and started a family. After Gary King’s visit, Peter decides to take a break from his predictable family life and join his friends for one more wild night...and gets a bit more excitement than he bargained for. |
Sam Chamberlain (Rosamund Pike)Oliver’s sister and (very briefly) Gary’s former flame, Sam Chamberlain bumps into the group during their attempt at the Golden Mile. What starts as a chance encounter soon turns into an unforgettable night, when Sam is swept up in the most important pub crawl in the history of mankind. |
Product description
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in this sci-fi comedy about a group of friends who reunite to complete the pub crawl they abandoned back in their youth. Galvanised by Gary (Pegg), 40-somethings Oliver (Martin Freeman), Andy (Frost), Steven (Paddy Considine) and Peter (Eddie Marsan) return to their home town for one more attempt at trying to reach the legendary pub, 'The World's End'. But after setting out on their quest, taking in watering holes such as 'The Two Headed Dog' and 'The Famous Cock', the friends' objective soon pales into insignificance when they realise that the fate of the entire human race may ultimately rest in their hands.

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.

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.

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 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?
