With The World's End, Wright further establishes himself as one of the preeminent comedy directors working today. The presence of Pegg and Frost ups the ante, of course, and their smartly cast co-stars certainly help. The final(?) entry in the trio's unofficial Cornetto series is a blast from start to finish; a wee bit better than Hot Fuzz by my estimation, and almost as flawless as Shaun of the Dead. Opinions will vary I'm sure, but there's a lot here to love, and a lot more to laugh at across multiple viewings. Universal's Blu-ray release arguably tops the feature film, with an excellent video presentation, a terrific DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track and hours upon hours of special features, including three audio commentaries, two high definition production documentaries and much, much more. One of the year's best films arrives with one of the year's best Blu-rays.
