Back To The Future Trilogy (Box Set)

Advantages: Funny, clever, highly original (especially part 2)
Disadvantages: Ummm, perhaps the bonus stuff could be a little better?

...the box set of the Back to the Future trilogy on DVD. It has been quite a few years since I’ve seen these films, but it didn’t take much watching to remind me of just why I enjoyed them so much. These three films formed such a major part of my childhood (along with Indiana Jones, another favourite of mine) and it has been wonderful to spend a couple of days reliving that with complete, unashamed nostalgia. And how could I resist writing a review ...
...· Disc 1 – Back to the Future (1985) Originally conceived as an idea back in 1980, it took several years before a studio could be persuaded to turn the script into the classic film that became the highest earning movie of 1985. BTTF centres around a small American town called Hill Valley, and takes two people as its central characters: a 17 year old student named Marty McFly (Michael J Fox), and local mad scientist “Doc” Emmett Brown (Christopher ...

Advantages: best trilogy (save star wars) ever created
Disadvantages: due to it's nature, a lot of storyline repeats itself

...I believe. Showing would be Back To The Future. Each year, they did a different part, then repeated all three the next year. So BTTF was one of the first movie experiences I had and one of the happiest. It brings back memories of Christmas. Therefore, I am probably bias, though I know that many of my friends agree with my opinion. I love this trilogy, I like the way it was filmed and the script. It's also very funny. ------------------------------ ...
...was done brilliantly. They went back to 1955, creating huge complications and alterations to events that happened in part 1. You have to see it to understand. I wont go into the details of what happens in the story. It’s quite funny and uses it’s own ideas about time travel and how it would work. It also raises questions about what would happen if we did travel through time, changing the future and things like that. -------------------------- Characters ... Read review

Advantages: Its back to the future plus extras
Disadvantages: yeah right, whatever

...I am ignoring resurrection) and Back to the Future. This trilogy reeks of my childhood and I could not think of a better set of films to make use of DVD’s excellent extra stuff. The films What do you mean you haven’t seen them? Are you mad?!!? Back to the Future Marty McFly (Michael J Fox), a slacker in 1985, gets transported back to 1955, in a time machine built into the shell of a DeLorean (Well if you’re going to build a ...
...it a great film. Back to the Future Pt. 2 You thought the first one was confusing; wait till you see the second one. Straight after the events of the first film, Doc Brown turns up to tell Marty McFly that something has to be done about his kids in the future. So to 2015 they go in an attempt to put right ‘future history’. But it doesn’t stop there, oh no. When the future version of Biff (the bully from the first movie) steals ... Read review

Advantages: A hilarious and easy to watch set of films that are withstanding the passage of time well...

...a display near the door… Back To The Future Box Sets. Ok not everyone’s idea of heaven but to own this trilogy has been on my wish list for years. “Aha” thinks little old me to myself, “the perfect gift for ME for Chrimbo”. I take my newly found goodies to the counter, part with GBP 27.99 and it’s MINE. For those of you who have never seen these films (IS there anyone out there who hasn’t?) I’m going to give a brief rundown of the basic plotline ...
...travel circuits and catapults him back to 1955. Back in the past he encounters his Mum and Dad as teenagers, which causes all sorts of horrendous space-time-continuum effects because his Mum falls in love with HIM and not his Dad. Marty, with the help of Doc Brown of the past has to put things right and back to how they should have happened before Marty himself is obliterated from history; he has to deal with the school bully Biff and then figure ...

...what happens when Marty goes back in time and accidentally interferes with his parent meeting putting his self existence in danger!(I don't want to go to much in to the plot incase I spoil it) Extras This DVD is jammed with extras so here we go 1. THE MAKING OF BACK TO THE FUTURE-This is a small 3 or 4 minute film that tells you about how the film was made. It has many interesting parts to it and they explain things like how they built the town etc... ...
...the cast and crew looking back at making the film. 3. ALL NEW FEATURE COMMENTRY- This is by far one of the best-added features of the DVD. What it is is an interview with Robert Zemeckis (director) and Bob Gale. They discuss how they got the idea for the movie and many other great facts. This interview lasts the whole length of the movie. This is unlike many commentaries however, eg. The one on the haunting, as you don't get to hear the film as it ... Read review

Advantages: 3 amazing DVD with great features
Disadvantages: There are only 3 and no more

...Time travel has always fascinated the science fiction community and this trilogy basically introduced the idea of time travel to the film industry. So, if you want to blame someone for time travel movies which you sometimes do not understand, blame Steven Spielberg. Back to the Future This is the movie which started it all. Starring in this movie were Michael J. Fox (as Marty McFly), Christopher Lloyd (as Dr. Emmett Brown), Lea Thompson (as Loraine McFly - Marty's mother), Crispin Glover (as George McFly - Marty's father). Dr Brown and Marty McFly were very close friends, and Dr Brown invented a time machine out of a car (a De Lorean, no less) and during their test drive, Dr Brown was murdered by terrorists and Marty escaped in the car, accidently sending him back into time into 1955 - thirty years prior to 1985. During his time... Read review

It has captivated the hearts of millions, made millions in the box office and has become an icon of symbol, whilst also making stars out Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd.
