Movie Review A bloody brilliant sci-fi comedy The last flavor of the Cornetto Trilogy Arts Arts Art S A RTS

Laurie Sparham Simon Pegg stars as Gary King in The World’s End.

By Kristen Sunter

The World’s End, directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, is the third British comedy in the “Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy,” along with Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). Aside from the creative team and similar themes, each film in the trilogy stands on its own. Shaun of the Dead was a romantic com- edy and a zombie horror flick mashup; Hot Fuzz was a cop action comedey; and finally, The World’s End is science fic- tion, by way of a brilliant and dark comedy about the bal- ance between growing up and fears of conformity. Aging goth Gary King (Simon Pegg) reunites his old school friends to complete the Golden Mile pub crawl, a route through their sleepy hometown of Newton Haven with stops at twelve pubs, ending at a pub called The World’s End. They last attempted the Golden Mile as 19-year-olds. Since then, Gary’s buddies had moved on with their lives, while now 40-year-old Gary was overcoming alcoholism. Getting his chums back together and attempting the Gold- en Mile again is Gary’s way of reliving the happiest time in his life. The group of estranged friends is rounded out by Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine), Peter (Eddie Marsan) and Oliver’s sister Sam (Rosamund Pike). These Laurie Sparham characters are not mere foils for Gary. They have their own (Left to right) Andy (Nick Frost), Gary (Simon Pegg), and Steven (Paddy Considine) in The World’s End. lives and responsibilities and don’t quite mesh anymore because they’ve grown apart, which often happens in re- Gary gives in the end to defend humanity is a bit pat, espe- unions among friends who have lost touch.
