I finally watched this, at the age of 23. I was expecting a great 80s movie with an amazing soundtrack and cheesey punchlines. This delivered that. I still wish it delivered more. I will chalk this movie up to, what it could have been. Because honestly, it should have been so much more. I enjoyed it and all, I guess I was just expecting something super. Now that I have seen this one, I will see the rest of the Trilogy because I am excited to see them go into the future.

You could write this off as another cheese ball comedy from the 80s but it would be a mistake. Not only is it a fairly timeless comedy (the score and some of the references are a bit dated) but it is a legitimate piece of science fiction as well. Plus who doesn't enjoy screaming "1.21 gigwatts!!!!"

Back to the Future review

back to the future review written by vale wolffian

Back to the Future is one of those films that everyone loves. It is a widely loved series. I think this movie series ranks as one of best series ever made. It is indeed one of most beloved series of all time. It is instant classic form beginning to the end. It could all have been so different. In fact, it could all have been a disaster.

At the end of 1984 director Robert Zemekis, who had been shooting his second movie, Back To The Future, for over a month was not a happy man. He was saddled with a lead actor who just didn't cut it as a happy-go-lucky, wisecracking teen. He was more like an angst-ridden 40-year-old struggling to make sense of existence in a godless universe.To make matters worse he'd seen a young actor perfect for...

"Back To The Future" by Yojimbo

When an eccentric inventor makes a time machine out of a DeLorean, a high school kid is accidentally sent back to the year 1955 where his presence has unexpected consequences on the future. The film that made both Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd stars, Back To The Future is a perfect blend of action and comedy that takes the old sci-fi chestnut of the time paradox and runs with it making for an inventive and hugely enjoyable family friendly romp. It has loads of amusing pop culture references and pokes fun at society's obsession with gadgets (it's odd to think that 1985 is nearly as far back now as 1955 was then) and has a great sense of nostalgia for days gone by. Fox makes the most of his boyish charm and Lloyd was pretty much made for the part of the mad scientist and the whole to...

Back to the Future review

There are certain films where categorization plays a part. Back to the Future is not one of those films. Doctor Emmett Brown was radiantly represented by Christopher Lloyd. The slacker teenager Marty McFly is acted by Michael J. Fox. The 2 main characters work effectively well and the effects are impressive at that era. The story is very unique and one of the most intricate topics can be difficult to put on film, time. Can this be a fantasy? Yes Groundhog Day and Donnie Darko were great, but it didn’t have one of the coolest cars invented for film, the time travelling Delorean. It has its comedic moments, especially from Doc: There's that word again, "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull? Would this be an adventure ...
