The World's End - review
Edgar Wright's new movie lands a double-whammy of funny and clever: a good-natured sci-fi comedy of male mid-life discontent that disproves the famous LP Hartley quotation. It is the present that is the foreign country, or rather the alien planet, and as we get older we feel increasingly exiled from that homeland of the past where everything felt more vivid and real.

Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 9th July 2013Pegg, Frost and Wright go out with a bang
There are laugh-out-loud moments as Pegg and his musketeers try to make a stand while totally legless, but it's mostly just wryly amusing.
Stella Papamichael, Digital Spy, 9th July 2013The World's End review
It certainly feels like a final finale for the gang, building in scale from its predecessors, if losing some of their emotional beats in the process. The World's End absolutely delivers on its premise and nearly does on its promise. It is very much the movie you were expecting, if not quite the one you could have hoped for.
Empire, 9th July 2013The World's End review
With a fabulous Madchester-era soundtrack and a strong, believable portrait of male bonding at its core, The World's End turns out to be a hugely entertaining caper. It doesn't live up to the memorable brilliance of Shaun Of The Dead, but it's great fun if you're happy to go along for the ride.
