PLOT
Middle-aged Gary King (Simon Pegg) decide to contacts his old friends and reach a goal in which they fail as teenagers over 20 years earlier, to visit 12 pubs in their hometown of Newton Haven. He gathers buddies that now have adult lives and responsibilities while Gary has changed little since 1990. Gary, Oliver "O-Man" Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), Peter Page (Eddie Marsan), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine) and Andy Knightley (Nick Frost) will now attempted to reach the final pub, The World's End but they discover an alien invasion during an epic pub crawl.

REVIEW
Film starts really good! Story has a promising concept, British humor, witty, funny, smooth but when aliens take place, movie just goes south. I'm aware of Cornetto trilogy but as a film on it's own, all this sci-fi action ruins film. You don't care about lovable characters and their mission anymore, film loses interest and realism. To be honest I was quite disappointed but writing is still excellent and cast too. I guess you need to see it for yourself and than decide. 3/5
