The World's End

Ratings: 6.1/10

Film class: B+

Genre: Sci-Fi comedy action 

Gary King (Simon Pegg) reunites his group of 4 friends to conquer the most epic drinking marathon 20 years after their failed teenage attempt. It requires them to go from pub to pub (12 pubs in total) in their childhood town, to drink a glass of alcohol at each pub before reaching their final destination, the last pub on their list, The World's End. 

Unknowing to them, the town has been taken over by aliens, forcing them to become unlikely heroes, humanity's last defense. 

While the premise of the plot sounds interesting, the movie failed to deliver. There were funny bits here and there, but the story fell flat with its silly ending. My brain cells went on strike and were willing victims of the alien invasion. 

Strong cast, semi-decent scripts, but on the other extreme side of the spectrum, horrible story development with a disastrous ending. Quite the "complete" movie if you ask me. It was unfortunate, really, with such a strong cast, just like the characters themselves, this movie was struggling hard not to be wasted... And it sure didn't sober up at the world's end.
