Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition) |
Rating: 4 (out of 5)
Summary: great, however may not work completely in a DVD drive on a PC
Comments: I loved these movies when they came out and had seen1and3many times however had only seen the second1in the theater the initial time.
The packaging is great and the styling of all3discs and menus are identical.
I am not much of an audiophile, however the 5.1 sound seemed to work fairly well.
I have2gripes about this product:
- The film is grainy and the details are poor. You can not really fault them for that since you can not get better than the original film quality.
- The Back to The Future II disc does not work on my Vista Home Premium PC. I get audio however no video. This is consistent in Media Center and Windows Media Player. However, this was just a minor inconvenience as the disc worked fine on my Xbox 360. Perhaps Back to the Future 2 uses a CODEC that hasn't been invented yet.
great product, however do not count on all of it working on a PC. |

Summary: I love this movie!!
Comments: Back to the future is my favorite movie of all time. From beginning to end it is so beautifully executed. Top notch directing, acting and editing with a score to rival "Star Wars". A sweet film the whole family can enjoy, they do not make'em like this anymore. The sequel's were fun too, however this puppy is lighting in a bottle!! |

Summary: This series is pretty McFly for a white guy
Comments: This is as typical of a teen eighties movie as you can get, in fact the eighties might have been the decade that those teen movies were invented, if not then this is when they definitely got popular. The formula is generally the same, there is a self assured kinda rebellious young man who sometimes gets in trouble, has a nice girlfriend, and gets into all kinds of trouble. He listens to cool music, says "ayyyyyyy" a lot, and almost all of the time has some sort of mullet. Some of the teen movies are great, some of them awful, however this1is a cut above the rest, Back to the Future is1of the best movies of the 1980's, and 80's superstud Michael J. Fox leads off this excellent movie. He plays Marty McFly, a high school kid who hangs out with the crazy scientist Dr. Brown, a wacky spaced out inventor played to perfection by Christopher Lloyd. The performances of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd and their chemistry really are what make this movie they are perfect for their parts and really make this the movie that it is.
The plot is nice too. We see Marty McFly's neighborhood before anything was there, and it was just open land. We see the small town he lives in when it was much smaller in size, and there wasn't so much expansion. We see a lot of cool stuff in this movie. This is a movie that holds your interest through the entire thing. I have to admit I am a science fiction fan, and I have always been fascinated wit the concept of time travel, and while this movie is a complete fantasy (they travel back in time in a Delorean) It is also interesting to see the makeup jobs in this movie, we see characters 30 years in the past, and we see 40 year old people playing people who are20 years old and vice versa. The highlight of the movie remains Christopher Lloyd, who plays what might be his best part ever, he is just too funny for words, and is so over-the-top he gives this movie the perfect tone, and compliments eone around him with his great performance.
The story progresses nicely, the last half hour is priceless, as we see Michael J. Fox play Johnny Be great to a crowd who has never heard rock and roll as we know it. Then he goes back to the future and he alalmost all misses it. The movie has the Quantum Leap aspect of it as we see what opens when you alter the past which affects the present in ways we never would have thought of. This movie is both a nice timepiece for the fifties and the eighties, showing at least the way that people in both time would like to have thought they were, in an idealistic world, so the movie is interesting like that, and has a nice touch of comedy, and science fiction here. The2genre's mesh well here, and sometimes Science Fiction and comedy do not always go well together. (see Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) It is also kind of funny to see the time period conflict with each other, we see things that are done in the eighties, and not in the fifties and vice versa. While there are no belly laughs in the movie there are enough jokes and enough interesting moments that will definitely make you think, this is not a socially conscious movie by any stretch of the imagination, however it is something that is interesting. This movie is probably the centerpiece of Michael J. Fox's film career, he rarely had a films this successful other than the2sequels, and this was a monster hit for the day. While it is1of the best eighties movies it is also1of the best about time travel, corny it might be however Back to the Future remains1of the best of it's kind, it's kinda hard to classify, however of whatever genre it is, it is1of the best.

Summary: Love the box set
Comments: I remember going to the theater to see all 3 of these when I was a kid. We recently took our kids to Universal Studios Orlando where we met the Doc Brown character and my kids did not know who he was!! I couldn't believe it!! So as soon as we came home I ordered the trilogy which we then watched over the next 3 weeks for family movie night. Now these movies hold a special place in my kids hearts too. Thank you for that. |
