Back To The Future III

I seriously cannot understand why people treat this movie so differently from the other two. It's awesome!

Maybe the reason people treat it so differently is because, it truly is different from the other movies because it's set back in the old west. So the final chapter of this fantastic trilogy has Marty learning that Doc has been sent back to the year 1885 after a lightning storm and now he has to go back further than he has before in time, and save his best friend. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the western vibe this movie has, but I love it! We get to see Hill Valley when it first started out, we get to see the clock tower start, we get to see what Doc has been up to in the old west, it's great. And it is a little sad to see the trilogy end, but it's not at all bad for the characters. Marty gets back home, starts planning his future with his girlfriend, Doc actually falls in love with a teacher back in the old west and they have a family and travel through time, so it really is a bright and happy ending. And the movie is very different from the other films, but in no way does it take away from the experience. It's still Back To The Future and it's a hell of a good sequel. And that is my review of the Back To The Future trilogy. I will see you guys next week.

Back To The Future II

Yes, this movie takes place in the year 2015, and I am still waiting on my hoverboard and flying car!

So Back To The Future II is an incredible sequel to the original. It does nothing but add on to the experience and the greatness of the original, and adds a surprising twist to it all. So the story picks up immediately after Back To The Future when Doc comes back from the year 2015 to warn Marty about some big problems with his kids, so he brings Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer to the year 2015 to right the wrongs of their very own future. But that's only the first problem that pops up, soon well stuff happens due to Marty's greed getting the best of him and a long story short, an alternate timeline of 1985 is created where Biff has turned Hill Valley into Hell on Earth. So Doc and Marty have to travel once again back to 1955 to solve that problem. Now of course, there's a ton more to the story than what I told you, and if you loved the original you're going to love the sequel even more! The characters have even more depth and personality to them, the setting is both interestingly new and familiar old, and the film just adds to the fun factor and also greatly adds to the original film in more ways than one. And we still got one more film to review, some consider it to be the black sheep of the series but I consider it just as good as the other two.

Back To The Future

Okay, I swear to God I didn't plan this. Today is Michael J. Fox's birthday and it just so happens I scheduled my review of Back To The Future on the same day.

So Back To The Future, one of the greatest time travel movies ever made! How does it hold up? Well...incredibly so. I mean yes the movie takes place in the 80's and the 50's but it doesn't at all feel dated, in fact it feels very new. It's kind of difficult to explain how the movie's time frame impacts you, but I would damn near describe it as timeless! It's a film that has aged incredibly well. So what's the story? A kid named Marty McFly is a teenager in the year 1985 and he's friends with a brilliant scientist, Dr. Emmet Brown who one day invents a time machine out of a DeLorean, and through a series of events Marty accidentally travels back to the year 1955. So he has to meet up with his old friend despite the fact he doesn't know Marty yet and help him get back to the future. Now the plot sounds awfully familiar because almost every single time travel movie since this came out has copied the formula, because it works really well. But don't let that deter you from seeing this movie because you've heard of the plot a hundred times. The film is a hell of a lot more than what you expect, and it is a fun and great movie to watch. I just realized this for the first time now that I am properly reviewing it, that 85% of the shots and the dialogue in this movie are very, very important to the plot. There is hardly ever a moment of filler in this movie. Every scene, every word spoken has significance in the grand scheme of things, and not just for this movie but the entire trilogy. The dialogue is interesting and very funny, the characters are great, the settings are very realistic as it is set in two past era's, the performances are the bloodline of this entire franchise and every single one of these people give it their all, and everything about it just works to an amazing degree and I love it! Hell, there are even people that stand by their opinion that Back To The Future is the greatest movie of all time, and I can kinda understand that. Is it my favorite movie of all time? No. But do I understand why people would say that? Absolutely! Bottom line, go out, buy all the Back To The Future movies, marathon them, and judge for yourself if you would like to go back to Back To The Future in the future.

Tune in tomorrow where we examine the fantastic sequel and the impact it has on the year 2015.
