In the final installment of The Cornetto Trilogy, “The World’s End” delivers everything one could want from a film involving Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
The film begins with Gary King (Pegg) getting the gang back together to complete a pub crawl, back in their hometown, only to find out everyone has been replaced by robots.
The story may be outlandish, but it remains unexpected like the other films in the trilogy, “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” While the movie is great as a whole, it has flaws.
It takes time for the movie to get going, and some of the subtle humor is lost on newcomers. The ending is shocking, but fits in well thematically with the other movies. Overall, “The World’s End” is a fitting end to The Cornetto Trilogy.
Hopefully, it does not stay a trilogy for long.
