World's End (Blu+Uv) [Blu-ray]

Slow to start, but it picks up with the twists. Proper absurdity, with astounding relevance to whats happening today, in the end.

It's a typical Simon Pegg/Nick Frost flick. Decent character development, ridiculous premise, even more ridiculous plot, all in all a really fun flick. In line with Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.

I am a huge fan of the Cornetto trilogy (my favorite being the exquisite "Hot Fuzz,") but "The World's End," while a very imaginative and entertaining movie in its own right left me a bit less enthused than the two previous installments. This film centers on five old friends reuniting for an epic pub crawl featuring encounters with everything from high school bullies and old flames to a full scale alien invasion. Simon Pegg as the former leader of the gang who has been destroyed by life has a darker and much more emotional role here, and he turns out a great performance; for my money though Nick Frost takes top honors as the straight guy (a great role reversal from "Hot Fuzz" which pleased me immensely.) While Simon is perfectly suited to play a jerk, the supporting cast (many of whom are veterans of "Hot Fuzz" or "Shaun of the Dead") particularly Martin Freeman and Paddy Considine are equally up to their respective roles.I liked the thematic similarities between The Network and the NWA (from "Hot Fuzz") and the inherent alien evilness of The Network is perfectly encapsulated in Bill Nighy's detached and genuinely creepy dialogue. Pierce Brosnan as a former teacher and alien acolyte is a piece of casting genius, and the scenes in the bar between the protagonists and Brosnan are high points. The conclusion (don't miss the Cornetto reveal...it passes really quickly in this one!) is an interesting post-apocalyptic take on the future that is unpredictable and arresting and allows Frost to really shine.The film is beautifully made with extraordinary editing of particular note. Edgar Wright is a truly talented filmmaker and "The World's End" features a lot of his signature dark humor, though unlike the other two Cornetto films, I felt a bit empty after watching this one. The acting and cast is first rate, the film is gloriously beautiful to watch, and the action sequences are brilliant, but in the end I felt it was perhaps a bit longer than ideal as there were moments I found my mind wandering, something that never once occurred during "Shaun of the Dead" or "Hot Fuzz."The DVD has many extras which are all worth checking out, particularly for fans of Wright, Pegg, and Frost. I have no qualms recommending "The World's End," but must honestly say it's my least favorite of the three Cornetto films (but "Hot Fuzz" is perpetually in my list of top five favorite films of all time, with "Shaun of the Dead" close in trail.) This is a thoughtful if bleaker film than the earlier pictures, but the performances and surprises are excellent and deserving of a look.

I was so looking forward to this movie when it was released in theaters and was very disappointed when it did not come to a theater near me. It finally came out to buy (but not rent) so I took a risk and bought it on Amazon. This is not something I normally do but because of the strength of the previous Simon Pegg, Nick Frost movies I figured it would be a good purchase. I was not disappointed.This movie like the previous Hot Fuzz has more depth to the comedy than what appears on the surface. American movie makers could learn something from these movies, Comedies do not need to be vapid stories full of silly gags and pushing romance at every turn. Comedies can sometimes be funny and have strong themes, it is a crazy concept, I know. You have the main character stuck in the past of the good old days and rounds up his old school friends who have all transitioned into a normal life.There is something so annoying about Gary King but he has this charisma where I felt compelled to follow him just like his old school chums. He lies, cheats and has a very selective memory and yet somehow his friends still fall in line. Nick Frost did an excellent job as the estranged friend who provides a voice of reason and rage to the movie. The characters are so much fun as they get inebriated through the night and then things get weird. Robots Things who don’t like to be called Robots have taken over the town which is one of the strong themes of the movie. As we progress as a society with our reliance on technology we start to homogenize as a society and lose some sense of personal independence. We become slaves to society, more and more like robots. You have Gary King who represents the exact opposite of that, even though his life sucks he still feels unique and his own person.The movie comes to an interesting end. It’s not quite the turn of event of Hot Fuzz but it is quite unique and matches the tone of the underlying theme. The ending is probably the weakest part of the movie but I felt it did work.I loved this movie. Warning though, there is _a lot_ of language in this movie. Some science fiction violence but the language might be a concern to some people. If you liked the previous movies, you’ll like this one. In the end I do not regret my purchase and fully plan on watching this again.Verdict: Recommended

Primero, la película incluye su disco 4K, Blu Ray y un código digital que solo se puede usar en USA. Incluye HDR10+ pero no Dolby Vision. Excelente imagen y audio.En cuanto al producto, llegó en un excelente estado. Incluía el slipcover y la entrega fue unos días antes de lo estimado.

日本版の販売を待ちきれず、買いました。注文から10日ほどで届きました、思ったより早かったです。

Excelente película. Simon Pegg me parece un creativo de primera con esta trilogía del cornetto. Respecto al producto, llegó al día siguiente, perfectamente empacado. No tengo ninguna queja.

あらすじ読んでも何のこっちゃ？でしたが前半は英国の味のあるオッチャン達のチャーミングさにヤられ後半は何故こうなる？な展開でしたがグッときました英語は解りませんが楽しめました解らないからか何度も楽しめます(^^;)

Es una película que había buscado hace tiempo y que aquí encontré a un precio aceptable, trae el código para verla en versión digital en computadora, tablet, teléfono etc, trae el disco en DVD y el disco blu ray que era el que mas me interesaba, el audio y la imagen son de altísima calidad, en fin, contento porque la tengo por fin.
