Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reteam with director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) in this wildly entertaining thrill ride that critics call "funny as hell" (Richard Roeper, WLS-AM Chicago) and "sheer comic perfection" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Twenty years after their first epic pub crawl attempt, the "five musketeers" reunite in their home town to complete the ultimate challenge -one night, five friends, twelve bars -a boozy quest on which only the strongest will survive. But after a bizarre series of encounters with the out-of-this-world locals, they soon realize that reaching their final pub, The World's End, may be the least of their troubles. They're having the time of their lives, ready to take on the world...but tonight they may have to save it.

SEMI SPOILER ALERT WARNING- I went to bed after watching this film thinking the denouement was really stupid. Upon further reflection I thought it was a true nightmare ending befitting a true horror story. But the TRUE horror story was not about anything otherworldly per se. It was about a true sociopath. One who is interested in connections with humans only in so far as they serve his pursuit of his own hedonistic goals. This sociopath has no problems lieing to people who were his lifelong friends (all friendships he ruined with his actions), manipulating them or stealing their resources, including their identities. The sociopath thinks nothing he is doing is wrong and is so committed to his ego that when offered a chance at enlightement not just for himself but the entire Earth he refuses. He is only happen when the world is turned upside down and humankind is less happy, comfortable or civilized than it once was. In that scenario he finally gets to be the hero in his own story. And only then by befriending those who are not human.

As much as I love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost this movie isn't the best showcase of their talents. It's funny but just not as good as Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz or even Paul. If you're a big fan of these guys like me you'll enjoy it. Just don't set your expectations to high.

This movie had me laughing from beginning to end! This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and I don't laugh easily in movies. But the chemistry between all of the characters worked and the script in this movie is so clever! The aliens in the movie also look pretty cool along with the rest of the visual effects in this movie. This is possibly the best alien comedy movie out there! (A+)
