Back to the Future

Advantages: Excellent plot, Some laughs
Disadvantages: None

...Back to the future is one of the greatest films of all time and is definitely gets my vote for being THE best. It was made in 1985 but remains a timeless classic. Everyone should watch this movie at some time during their lives - it's that good! --- the BASICS --- Back to the future is a science fiction film about time travelling, starring Michael Fox and Christopher Lloyd as the 2 main lead characters and directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film has mixed in with it some funny bits and pieces too and it almost makes time travelling makes sense - it actually still doesn't (took me about 10 years to figure out why - read on!). --- the PLOT --- An eccentric scientist affectionately known as doc (Lloyd) has invented the time machine in ultimate style - a Delorean. His only friend, a high school student Marty (Fox), agrees to witnessing...

Back To The Future review

Advantages: Very fun and entertaining from start to finish
Disadvantages: None

...Back to the Future in a science fiction adventure made in 1985 directed by Robert Zemeckis (who also directed Forrest Gump) and stars Michael J. Fix and Christopher Lloyd. Marty McFly (Fox) is an ordinary 17yr old, except for one thing; he has a rather eccentric friend, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Lloyd). One night, he invites him to the local mall in the middle of the night. Marty, being curious, agrees. When he arrives he is met by Doc, who shows him a modified DeLorean car which he says has been made into a time machine. It uses Plutonium to create a nuclear reaction that to generate the power needed to travel through time, and this will only happen once the car reaches 88 miles an hour. Doc shows Marty the time circuits and programs in 1955. Suddenly Libyan terrorists arrive, looking for their Plutonium. They kill Doc, so Marty jumps...

Back to the Future

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...This review is on the 1985, Academy award winning, Back to the Future. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, the films star Michael J. Fox as teenager Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as scientist Dr. Emmett L. Brown. This was one of my all time childhood favourites, and to this day is still in my top ten of all time. It had everything one would want from an action film, action, drama, edge of the seat excitement and comedy. I think most people would agree that Back to the Future was a ground breaking Sci-fi film. Everything from the special effects to the storyline would be of much envy of the modern day films. Furthermore, I don't know about anyone else, but the first instalment was by far my favourite, because it was fresh and new, and we as viewers didn't no what to expect. Plot: Marty McFly is a young...

...machine?. Then ending the day accidentally sent back to 1955, realising his only way to get 'back to the future' is to find the then Doctor Emmett and convince him of his achievement, which is easier said than done.

Back to the future with you, marty!!

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...

...Back to the Future Part III is an good ending to the trilogy. It was made in 1990, 4 years after the first one and immediately after the second one.
