5.0 out of 5 stars "My Density Has Brought Me To You.", April 24, 2007
By tvtv3 "tvtv3" (Sorento, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Even though Robert Zemeckis was a filmmaker that Steven Spielberg liked and wanted to succeed, in the early 1980s, Zemeckis was on the verge of watching his film directing career come to a crashing end. Zemeckis had several films under his belt, but all of them had been flops at the box office and had received mostly negative critical reviews. In the early 1980s Zemeckis was probably best known as one of the co-writers of 1941, the only critically-panned film of Spielberg's early film career. Things changed in 1984 with the success of ROMANCING THE STONE. Zemeckis was being hailed and peopled wanted to know what the young filmmaker would do next. Initiated and supported by Spielberg, Zemeckis decided to go back to a story he had written years earlier with Bob Gale and thus BACK TO THE FUTURE came to be.

The idea for BACK TO THE FUTURE was spawned by Bob Gale after a visit to his hometown of University City, Missouri where he spent some time looking through his parents' high school yearbooks and wondered what it would be like to go back through time and meet his parents when they were teenagers.

In the film, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is an average student and aspiring musician that finds himself trying to come to find a balance between the middle-class existence he lives in and following his dreams of becoming a rock star and marrying his sweetheart Jennifer (Claudi Wells). Besides music, Marty spends a lot of his free time helping out his good friend, the local crazy scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). Doc Brown has finally succeeded in creating a revolutionary invention and needs Marty's help. The invention turns out to be a time machine fitted into a Delorean. The flux capacitor, the device that causes time travel possible, needs a tremendous amount of energy and in 1985 that means it runs on plutonium. Doc stole the plutonium from a group of Libyan terrorists who wanted him to make a nuclear bomb for them. Unfortunately, the Libyans track Doc down and kill him. They try to kill Marty, too, but he escapes in the Delorean and finds himself hurtling back through time to 1955. The only person who can help him is the Doc Brown from 1955. Marty kind of likes the era, but then he discovers that time travel is more dangerous than he ever imagined when he accidentally keeps his parents from having their first meeting. That encounter threatens Marty's own existence and before he can get back to the future, he has to get his parents to get back together.

BACK TO THE FUTURE was the highest grossing movie of 1985 and remains one of the most popular films of all time. It's not difficult to see why. The film has a great story and is full of great character portrayed by amazing group of actors. Most people can strongly relate to the characters in the story and regardless of when a person grew up, we can all relate to the feelings of Marty longing to have a stronger relationship with his family and get back home or with his father George (Crispin Glover) having to go through high school dealing with a bully or with Lorraine (Lea Thompson) longing to have a strong man in her life who will protect and defend her. Of course, there's also the whole element of time travel. I think most people are fascinated by the idea, even if many of us would never choose to travel through time if we had the opportunity.

As a time travel movie, the BACK TO THE FUTURE films stand alone. They are some of the few movies that set up rules for time travel and follow those rules through most of the series. There are very few films who illustrate the inherent dangers of traveling through time as well that BACK TO THE FUTURE does.

BACK TO THE FUTURE is a movie that everyone should see at once in their life. It has a broad base of appeal because it has just the right mixture of action, romance, and sci-fi. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Performances, that make things real!..., October 5, 2006
It's really a shame that this movie isn't on sale anymore here in amazon (does it?), because it's one of the best ever movies that I have ever seen, and is not fair that we (the buyers) have to purchase the complete trilogy. I don't want the trilogy, I just want the first (Is there anybody listening to me?). It's the same thing with Jurassic Park: I only like the first and third. I don't want the complete trilogy (PLEASE LISTEN DISTRIBUTORS!).

The real point about this movie is: Don't let the sun go down everyday without making the things that you have to do. Don't waste your time because it never come back again!... Maybe is something that we all know just before start watching this movie, but,...¿Did we ever think about it? and,... ¿Did we act the better way just after we think this?... The actors performance are superb, making the story and movie a very realistic credible picture (what is reality?). This picture is realy a Block Buster, and a must for heavy DVD watchers... Good Luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars ok, you want to know what's on this 4 disc collectors set?, May 7, 2009
By Micheal Hunt (Hellbourne) - See all my reviews
I did not make a mistake in my title, this is actually 4 (four) discs.

This is a special edition of the trilogy released for region 4 and maybe 2 (Australia/Europe) so beware if you don't know anything about region coding, you may find this edition wont work on American/Canadian DVD players. (should be good on DVD roms tho)

The first 3 discs are that of the trilogy, the discs are just the same filled with there bonus features ect...

the 4th disc contains
- Audio recording of Bob Gale and Robert Zemckis Q&A (previously it was just subtitle text) - however this would be so much better as an audio commentary as it is nothing but sound, they could have at least put a slide show or something to this.
- Enhanced Conversation with Michael J.Fox
- Deleted scenes from the first 2 movies. Until recently in the new special release of BTTF, these scenes had not been released anywhere else. Scenes to note that where not on the original cut scenes are from BTTF 1 showing the full version of Doc showing his "permit" to the cop, and Marty questions if he will go back to 1985 gay. Also from BTTF 2 you find out that the old guy asking Marty to put some money on the Cubbies is actually Terry from 1955 who fixes Biff's car. As well as many other scenes that have additional audio commentary.

- Production Design.
- Story Boarding.
- Designing the Delorean
- Time Travel
- The evolution of visual FX shots.
- Power Of Love (Huey Lewis) Music Video.
- Production Notes
- Making of BTTF 3
- Audio Recording Q&A for BTTF 3
- Designing Hill Valley
- Designing the campaign
- The secrets of the BTTF trilogy.
- FAQ's about the trilogy
- Production notes

There are a lot of features on this disc that are not released for region 1. So if your a big enough fan, the 4th disc is well worth getting your hands on.
