The World’s End (dir. Edgar Wright).
This is popcorn summer fun at its best yet I wanted more of the nostalgic, buddy style comedy about friendship from the first half. I enjoyed the chemistry of the five buddies and how they’ve outgrown each other as a metaphor for the film series so much. What comes after, all the action and pulse pounding explosions, feels like a diversion from the nostalgic themes that came before. All said, Wright, [co-writer/star [Simon] Pegg, and [co-star Nick] Frost close out their trilogy of genre films rather fittingly if not superbly.
