'The World's End' was the only movie left for me to watch in Edgar Wright's 'Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy'. I have seen 'Hot Fuzz' and 'Shawn of the Dead' twice over already. The movie was as delightful as the other ones of the series. Wright chose a totally different theme this time - he calls it 'social science fiction', apparently. The base of the story is that a group of grown-up's come back to their hometown after years, for a 'pub-crawl' (drink from all the pubs of the locality) and the interesting things that follow.

Something that interested me a lot was the sense of homecoming in the movie. You migrate from your small hometown to a big city, a different locale or so, and after undergoing so many experiences, changes etc you come back and find your place and its people almost the same as when you left. Nothing much has changed for them, except you and ways, maybe. I am familiar with this feeling. The same can be seen in 'The World's End' even though the crux of the story is something else altogether. The movie was  a thrill ride with lots and lots of fun. Eagerly waiting for Wright's next.

PS: As usual Simon Pegg and Nick Frost rocked! Nick frost looked as if he'd changed his style, in the beginning. Later, he transforms to his true self - crazy!
