Back To The Future DVD

Advantages: Script, direction, acting, flawless
Disadvantages: The sequels though interesting couldn't live up to this masterpiece

...the classic opening sequence of Back to the Future... OK so I'm sure you're shouting f**k off it wasn't Eric Stoltz, it's Michael J Fox every idiot knows that, who is this clown? In the same alternate universe where Stuart Townsend is Aragorn, Marty McFly is ginger. Stoltz (like Townsend) spent a few weeks playing Marty before everyone involved realised their first choice (who at the time had been too busy with 'Family Ties' to even be shown the ...
...Libyans, Marty acccidently sends himself back to 1955. Rather than keeping his head down and trying to work out a way to get home Marty manages to interfere with his parents first meeting and endangers his own existence. What follows is a race against time to get his parents to fall in love before Saturday night when lightning will hit the clock tower providing the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to power the time machine; and give Marty his only chance ...

Advantages: Appeals to all ages and timeless classic
Disadvantages: Not long enough..

...culture that people often mistake Back To The Future as a science fiction film, however I tend to disagree, it is more a comedy with a science fiction theme. Released in 1985, and directed by Robert Zemeckis, it's a classic film that all people of its time will remember. Marty is a typical 17 year old, into his rock band, having fun and girls! he is the main member of the cast and I really don’t think that they could have found anyone better ...
...in order to get Marty back to his real time, include the doc hooking up cables from the clock tower to the car…without giving too much away also involves life and death for the Doc…but of course nothing ever goes to plan and the tension builds up to a thrilling crescendo. Back to the Future for me was a classic film that blends the ideas of future and the past with complete ease. Packed with special effects, you're never short of a visual ... Read review

Advantages: First of it's kind - a classic!!!
Disadvantages: the sequels will never equal the original masterpiece, but what could?!

...created by director Robert Zemeckis, Back to the future is based upon the theories of time travel and interference with the workings of the space time continuum. Marty McFly, the main character (Michael J. Fox), after having befriended the nutty professor Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), finds himself a test crash dummy for Doc and his new invention… the Time machine. (A Dolorean of all cars!) To be more precise, the Flux Capacitor is the nerve ...
...with the Dolorean is flung back in time to the fifties and Doc is shot! (Don’t worry, this is only 15 mins into the film, all will be saved! Or so my brother used to tell me!) When Marty realises what has happened, he knows he must find Doc for him fix to the Time machine (which ran out of fuel on the way to the 50’s) and to help send him back to 1985. He does so, but Doc knows that getting the ‘21 Jigawatts’of power needed to send him back will ... Read review

Advantages: Excellentlly breathtaking
Disadvantages: Nothing wrong here

...oh yeah, a copy of Back to the Future in the player and on the silver screen. For me, this silm was more than just great acting, generous helpings of graphical genius and comedy, it was the cunning culmination of interplay between characters and a driving plot which worked so definitevely. Michael J Fox is superbly cast as the disorganized, wannabe rock-guitarist, loved up, physco teenager 9phew that was a mouthful). Alongside christopher Lloyd, ...
...complex yet hugely enthrawling. Perhaps Back to the future Episode 2 provides the most diverse of stories, but each follows progressively onto the next in a way which is seamless enough to guarantee your viewing. Episode 1 sees Marty(Fox) being called upon by Doc Brown(Lloyd), to film him making his historic journey as the first man to ever time travel. His craft is a modified Delorean complete with flux capacitor and hugely impressive Gullwing doors. ... Read review

Advantages: Hilarious!
Disadvantages: nothing really, besides tragic fashion mistakes (it was the 80s remember) and some slightly predictable moments.

I have grown up with Back To The future as one of my favourite films, for as long as I can remember, and nothing has since changed. As a 14 year-old teenager, my friends all base their lives around "oh no, he's coming up behind her"-style horror films, and if I tell them about a seemingly prehistoric film from 1985 about a time machine, they assume I'm going mad. But to tell the truth, the film is less of a complicated sci-fi plot and more of a comedy ...
...think about the movie, one question comes into my head; why isn't this movie a lot more well-known? The movie is based around a 17 year old teen, Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) who has a nerdy cowardly dad, George McFly, a strict principal and a daunting hardly-straight-A-student school grade record that makes him a "slacker" in his principal's eyes. The only look-ups in his life are his pretty girlfriend Jenny and his crazy mad-scientist-stereotype ... Read review

Advantages: Great story and acting, groundbreaking and memorable
Disadvantages: None really

...Back to the Future DVD Back To The Future is a film that sits in the hearts of many as a classic of the 1980s, one of those films that 'they just don't make any more'. It is a time-travelling adventure with some intense and panicky acting from Michael J Fox and some quirky mad scientist behaviour from Christopher Lloyd. It was groundbreaking in terms of its scientific ideas when it was released in 1985 to a very receptive audience, and made instant stars of its cast. It also features a glorious soundtrack including Huey Lewis' 'Power Of Love'. The Plot In 1988, teenager Marty McFly meets mad scientist Doc Brown, who claims to have created a machine capable of time travel - the DeLorean, equipped, with funky gadgets and whirring noises! Keen to avert a catastrophe, Marty uses the plutonium-charged car to go back in time - to 1955... Read review

Advantages: Pure cinematic entertainment
Disadvantages: Slightly strange audio commentaries

...For some reason, movies from the 80s always have fond memories for me, none more so than "Back to the Future" and it's two sequels. Released back in 1985, with the subsequent films coming in 89 and 90, "Back to the Future" follows the exploits of teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his friend, mad scientist, Doc Emmet Brown (Christopher Lloyd) as they time travel in a suped up DeLorean. To mark the 20th birthday of it's original release, Universal Studios released all three films on DVD plus a set of new unseen features, in a very smart gatefold boxset under the banner of being a four disc ultimate collection. ►►► Synopses ► Back to the Future The year is 1985 and after a series of unlikely events, Marty McFly accidentaly transports himself back thirty years to 1955 in Doc Emmet Brown's plutonium...
