Tue Jan 24 2012The first one was cute and fun, bouyed by a prime Christopher Lloyd performance. It might be hard for the kids to believe today, but there was a time when Christopher Lloyd was the biggest star on the planet.

Thu Jun 23 2011Moderately entertaining frivolity, but generally simple and predictable.

Fri Jun 17 2011Awesome movie! Cute, funny, and exciting. Sci-fi without being too confusing is a thumbs up for me.

Tue Aug 17 2010When I was 12, this movie was entertaining but the theory that if only one time exists is true then time travel is not possible. No way. So, Michael Fox knocks up his mother...well then we would have a fractured timeline that would probably not co-exist very well. Not unless he could be in both times at the same time. And, why 88 miles per hour?

Sat Jul 31 2010Loved, loved, loved this movie. Entertaining as hell, extremely well made, and the performances were enjoyable all around. Fox worked on this and "Family Ties" at the same time. I'm glad he did, because he was made for the role. No one else would've done as well. Ok, maybe Matthew Broderick.

Thu Dec 31 2009one of the best movies of all time. d'lorans are nice cars and it had a unique point of view on future events. the sequals were also pretty good

Tue Nov 17 2009When Back to the Future came out as a Trilogy Box Set on DVD i was very disappointed. The picture quality is very good, the sound.... but.... Come one... Where are the individual Boxes with original Cover Art? For me this release is the only thing good that has... But in my opinion, picking up these movies to watch, i pick the Letterbox Edition on Laserdisc and most of the times the Muse Hi-Vision Laserdisc Edition and watch them in 1080i Full HD. The DVD or even Blu Ray cannot match the Laserdisc Cover Art... besides those are the Original Ones. Much better than DVD, natural and original colors, and it's the Best way to watch Back to the Future until now... Let's see what Blu Ray brings to us, but i am expecting HOT Picture and Sound!! :)

Wed Nov 11 2009Una de las mejores peliculas de ciencia-ficción y comedia que he visto de la pasada decada de los 80s, donde teniamos esos grandes actorazos como Mr. Fox, quien da rienda suelta a uno de sus mejores personajes, el joven McFly (Alias "Clavin Klein" o "Lewis Strauss, como le llaman en los años 50s); una trama que te mantiene amarrado al asiento desde que comienza la pelicula, y que llega a una problematica tal que te pican los dedos por saber como va a terminar toda esa situación: el problema del joven que accidentalmente viaja en un auto DeLorean convertido en maquina del tiempo hacia los años 50s, donde conoce a sus padres siendo jovenes y al involucrarse en sus vidas pone en peligro su propio futuro, teniendo que buscar al cientifico que le envio al pasado (asumiendo que existe, aunque no esta tan viejo en la actualidad) para resolver su situacion y regresarlo al "presente"; un viaje al pasado, a la nostalgia y a esas buenas peliculas ochenteras que te dejan un magnifico sabor de boca...

Wed Sep 09 2009Always enjoy the nostalgia of the first one since I was born in 1955. O.k. for kids except for language. Not thrilled when people use "for God's sake sake" or "God's sake" unnecessarily. The trilogy is fun to watch back-to-back.

Sat Sep 05 2009This movie was ok. When Marty McFly meets Doc Brown at the Twin Pines Mall, he demonstrates how that his DeLorean/time machine works. After putting some Plutonium in his DeLorean, Doc puts his dog in it. Doc uses a remote control that sends his car one minute into the future when it reaches 88 MPH. One minute later the DeLorean reappears. He puts more Plutonium in his car and plans to go twenty-five years into the future. But Doc ripped off the Plutonium from the Libyans and somehow they find him. They shoot and kill Doc. Marty jumps in the DeLorean and drives off. When the car reaches 88 MPH, he is transported to 1955. Marty's mom met Marty's dad when her dad accidentally hit George with his car. But Marty pushes his dad out of the way and he gets hit by the car instead. This puts Marty's existence in danger. Marty must get his parents together to save himself. After having trouble with Biff, Marty's parents get together and Marty's existence is no longer in jeopardy. Even though the ... Read more

Mon Jun 29 2009I have Back To the Future Dvd(double disc,2nd disc with special features) I should have brought the trilogy but I got the special edition, However, I can't Complain, The Movie is awesome, I grew up to this movie as a child of the eighties, and is one of the best movies of the Era.

Thu May 07 2009On this release of the great BTTF movie, you get a 2 disc edition with extra features never released on DVD, nor even on the 4 disc region 4 release. Obviously the movie is there, it was always good quality and great 5.1 sound on the rest of the editions, and nothing has changed for this one. Now included is a whole heap of new extras. There is an Audio Commentary from Bob Gale and Niel Canton. It is an actual commentary now, not just the Q&A; audio that played to the movie, or separately as audio depending on which edition you had, that other one is still on here, but this 2nd commentary is brand new, not a re-run. As far as I can tell, all the extras from the other editions are still here. I own a heap of copies of different releases for this movie, and I get a little confused with what was on what; but I know the American fans will be pleased that extra deleted scenes that where only viewable on the region 4 bonus disc (4th disc) are now included in this release. In partic... Read more

Sat Jul 26 2008Entertaining movie for all ages. Keep in mind the PG rating of course. One of the more competently handled time travel films to date. M.J. Fox and Chris Lloyd are great together. Plenty of humor and well done special effects.
