The final film of the ‘Three Flavours Cornetto’ trilogy (following on from 2004’s Shaun of the Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz), the film stars Simon Pegg as Gary King, an alcoholic ‘free spirit’ who never grew up.

Upon arrival they discover that not much has changed… apart from the fact that most of the population has been replaced by alien robots!
