Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2013)

This Is The End is an brilliant,hilarious,funny and over the top Apocalyptic Comedy and one of the funniest movies in recent years. Filled with great direction,a wonderful cast(playing themselves),a fantastic screenplay and great special effects,This Is The End is an original,wild and offbeat Comedy you won't soon forget.
Set in Los Angeles,California,This Is The End tells the story of Seth Rogan(Seth Rogan)who picks up his friend Jay Baruchel(Jay Baruchel)at the airport and are about to hang together in L.A. While hanging together,Rogan and Baruchel decide to go to James Franco's(James Franco)house party and have a good time but good times turn to bad when the Apocalypse happens and destroys Los Angeles. Now Rogan,Franco and Barchel along with fellow celebrities including Jonah Hill,Craig Robinson and Danny Mcbride have to deal with the Apocalypse where laughs and mayhem ensues.
This Is The End is easily one of the best Comedies in recent years,a brilliant Comedy that deals with the Apocalypse or the end of the world but in it's own creative and unique way. Now there have been many films that have dealt with the apocalypse or the end of the world but there hasn't been a film that has dealt with the Apocalypse like This Is The End a funny,hilarious,original and wild film that has real life movie stars pretty much playing fictional versions of themselves in a film that is a that is a wonderful movie experience that you will never forget. Once the Action in This Is The End starts it just never stops and as you are watching the film you pulled into an insane and weird film where everything is pushed to the limit and goes so far over the top that you as the viewer will feel like you are in a Comedy and a surreal funny nightmare and the laughs and jokes in the film are just completely none stop almost to the point of where you are laughing so hard your stomach will hurt and tears will run down your eyes and face because the jokes and laughs are smart and witty. Directors and co-writers Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg take the great Apocalyptic genre and flip's the genre on it's head giving us a film that is a Stoner film,a Fantasy and a Horror film all in one where the film's main characters are trying to survive by not going outside but trying survive with each other inside James Franco's house and some of the scenes with the movie's main characters are just down right hilarious because it balances out friendship as well as tension not knowing if the film's characters are going to live or die. The real life actors playing themselves in this movie is ingenious showing viewers actors in the film and how in a fictional way how they would act if the end of the world did happen and it's done in a wild and unforgettable way. The Apocalypse in the film is played with laughs but is also done in a straight forward manner thanks to the actors so the film doesn't become a Spoof or a Parody but the laughs are always there. The screenplay by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg is excellent and well-written with lines of memorable dialog that is very funny,profane and vulgar and with great moments of creativity and style as well writing in hilarious scenes that reference some of the main actors films which include Pineapple Express as well as funny and over the top references to Horror classics such as The Exorcist and the film Rosemary's Baby. The screenplay and film is so funny you will be asking and craving for more when the film ends. If you loved Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg's other collaborations Superbad and Pineapple Express,you will love This Is The End. The violence and gore in the film are grisly and gruesome at times and will makes some viewers cringe but the movie's violence and gore fit with the tone of the film and are done for great laughs. The ending of the film will make you laugh your head off and will surprise you with a couple of cameos that you will not see coming. It's a wonderful ending.
The whole cast(playing themselves)including Seth Rogan,James Franco,Jonah Hill,Jay Baruchel,Danny McBride(who steals the movie)and Craig Robinson are all excellent and hilarious as fictional versions of themselves. Also lookout for funny cameos by celebrities also playing fictional versions of themselves Emma Watson,Michael Cera,Christopher Mintz-Plasse,Kevin Hart,Jason Siegal,Rianna,Paul Rudd and more.
The direction by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg is fantastic,with Rogan and Goldberg using great camera angles and giving the film a wonderful visual style. Great direction by Rogan and Goldberg.
The score by Henry Jackman is great,powerful and effective and matches the tone of the film. Good score by Jackman. The film also has great songs on the soundtrack by Whitney Houston(I Will Always Love You),Dr Dre(The Next Episode),Black Sabbath(War Pigs),Cypress Hill(When The S*** Goes Down),The Backstreet Boys(Everybody,(Backstreet's Back)and more. Good soundtrack.
The special make-up effects by K.N.B effects are amazing,bloody and realistic and add to the film's greatness. K.N.B does it again.
In final word,if you love Comedies,Apocalypse films,Superbad or Pineapple Express,I highly suggest you see This Is The End,an amazing, funny,hilarious and original Comedy that you won't regret watching and is well worth your time. Highly Recommended. 10/10.
