Very funny movie from the 1980's about a wacky scientist named Doc. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) who invents a time machine, and his young friend Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox). Doc Brown calls Marty and wants him to meet him at a shopping mall parking lot that night. When Marty gets there, he finds out that Doc has built the time machine in a DeLorean automobile. Doc explains that his invention, the Flux-Capacitor, is what makes time travel possible. He shows Marty how the time circuits and machinery work and wants Marty to video-tape his first journey which should only take a few minutes. This time machine works on Plutonium, which he stole from some Lybian terrorists who wanted him to build an atomic bomb for them. All of a sudden the Lybians show up and shoot Doc Brown. Marty barely gets away in the time machine, but winds up in 1955! He tracks down Doc Brown and tells him the fantastic story. Doc thinks Marty is nuts, but when Marty tells him about the Flux-Capacitor, he believes him. Problems have already arisen, as earlier in the day, Marty had already run into both his mother (Lea Thompson) and his father (Crispin Glover). Marty's father is a real closet case and his mother winds up enamered with him. The only way to get them together and avoid disrupting the time continuoum, is to bring his father, George McFly, out of his shyness and come up with a plan to make his mom see him as special and have her fall in love with him. The plan is for Marty to ask his future mom, Loraine, out to a dance where she and his father originally met and fell in love. Marty is going to make an inappropriate advance at her, and George is going to rescue her, and make Marty look bad. But, the local bully, Biff, who always intimidates George, has Marty snatched by two of his followers and locked in another car trunk. When George shows at the planned moment, he finds Biff, not Marty. A real fight happens and George miraculously knocks Biff out and all is put well. A plan to use a lightening strike to generate the power needed to send the time machine back to the future is accomplished and Marty arrives in time to save Doc. Brown. This was a funny and clever movie, with two sequoels to follow.Read full review
Are there times when you are fed up with the world today? If so you must watch back to the future part 1. This brings you back to the days when life was so simple, when life was hardly a struggle, when many earned the same as their neighbor, when there was no peer pressure. I listen to stories from many that grew up in the 50’s and they all say that was the best decade ever. You can hang out in a candy store or luncheonette for hours listening to a juke box of your favorite songs while sipping on a chocolate egg cream or malted. You dated girls and made sure she was home for curfew and you were afraid of her dad. You can purchase a car for 50.00 and no one laughed. You can go to a gas station to fill up and when you left the gas station you weren’t cursing at the government for high gas prices. So sit back with your pop corn and go back into the future of 1955 and enjoy life for 2 hrs.Read full review
After twenty-four years of the release of the original Back To The Future film, the series has finally been released exclusively on three separate discs with a double disc set for the frist one. Some of the new bonus features include the Back To The Future Ride that was closed down September 5, 2007, reflection interviews with the producers, Michael J. Fox, and finally Christopher Lloyd an exclusive with Liam Neilson for Part II and a few others. Back To The Future certainly has earned high praise for it's popularity as part of pop culture entertainment in the 80s and beyond.
