Virag's Movie Reviews: The World's End (2013)

Mmmm, formula.  What was missing, though, was the eager and playful sense of disbelief that they were actually getting to make a movie.  That was the key to Shaun of the Dead, and The World's End has none of it.  The fact that it was a completely tired retread of SotD was not nearly the biggest problem.  The charm has been exhausted, and if not for Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan to carry the project, I can imagine that it would never have been successfully completed.  In certain light, Rosamund Pike is absolutely lovely; some illegal/immoral hybrid clone of Pike and Rose Byrne fifteen years ago might be the most beautiful woman in the world.  Doesn't help this flick, though.  For the love of Christ, I hope this is the last of these.
