The World's End (2013)
Directed by Edgar
Wright this film stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine,
Martin Freeman and Rosamund Pike. Five friends return to the town
they grew up in to complete a pub crawl.
As with any
Wright/Pegg collaboration there is tons of clever stuff to look out
for here and I really enjoyed the heavy use of foreshadowing as well
as the alien invasion as metaphor for the experience of returning
home. There are some really funny moments but I am not sure the
protagonists journey ever reaches a mature emotional conclusion. This
may not be the best of the Cornetto trilogy but it is still a really
great film with plenty of cameos and details to look out for.
4/5
