Movies that feel likeThe World's End (2013)

Five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind's only hope for survival.

If you loved The World's End, the closest films we have are Men in Black 3 (2012), Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) and Krrish (2006). All three share The World's End's kinetic and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Attack the Block (2011).

Both land wit and play at once

Agents J and K are back...in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him - secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

A comedy that follows the chaos that ensues when a meteor hits the Earth carrying alien life forms that give new meaning to the term "survival of the fittest."
