Summary: Time to go Back to the Future, Again!
Review: If there was ever a film series that was meant to be viewed together, the 'Back to the Future' trilogy is it! Delightfully madcap, the misadventures of Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, in his signature role), and his mentor, Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd, achieving well-deserved stardom), tweak not only the time travel genre, but westerns, family comedies, rock n' roll, and Hollywood's concept of life in the future, as well, while taking viewers on an exhilarating ride!Sadly, in the initial release of the 3-disc set, there were formatting problems on BTTF Part 2 and Part 3, but Universal has corrected the errors, and the entire series looks terrific, now! 'Back to the Future', the first of the trilogy, is the best, of course, introducing the McFly family (nerdy father Crispin Glover and repressed mother Lea Thompson, both playing characters years older than their actual ages, are terrific!), and villain Thomas F. Wilson (every kid's nightmare bully, grown up). Escaping terrorists who 'kill' Doc Brown, young Marty is launched in a souped-up DeLorean back to 1955, where he accidently disrupts history, interrupting his younger, but still nerdy father and oversexed and curious mother's falling in love (she falls for Marty, instead). Now Marty must not only return to the future to 'save' Doc Brown, but he must unite his future parents, before his family disappears, forever! (Watch for a young Billy Zane in a bit part, as one of Wilson's gang!) 'Back to the Future, Part II', filmed four years the original, replaces Glover (who made some insane salary demands) with Jeffrey Weissman (who isn't really seen much), and Claudia Wells (who had taken a hiatus from acting), as Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer, with Elizabeth Shue (who would achieve stardom a few years later), and picks up where the first film ends; Doc Brown recruits Marty and Jennifer to journey to 2015 to 'rescue' their future kids! The overly convoluted plot (this is the weakest of the trilogy, although the most inventive, in many ways) has the evil Biff getting hold of a sports almanac from the future, amassing a fortune, and 'punishing' the McFly family, starting back in 1955. Marty must again return to the past to straighten things out, and prevent Biff from ultimately murdering his father and marrying his mother! Then, to top things off, Doc Brown and the DeLorean disappear, thrown back to 1885, and stranding Marty in 1955! 'Back to the Future, Part III' is a terrific finale, as Marty, aided by 1955's Doc Brown, travels back to 1885, to rescue the 1985 version. Doc, meanwhile, falls in love with feisty school marm Mary Steenburgen, and must, with Marty's help, change history to prevent her dying, while Marty deals with Biff's evil ancestor. A climax with a time-travelling locomotive brings the trilogy to an exciting conclusion! There are a LOT of extras in this DVD package, including documentaries from the initial release of the films and DVD exclusives; a in-depth interview with Michael J. Fox about his participation (On the first film, filmed simultaneously while he was starring on 'Family Ties', on TV: "I was sleeping two hours a night, but I was 22!"); a commentary track with writer/producer Bob Gale and producer Neil Canton; another audio track, featuring a live college discussion with Gale and director Robert Zemeckis; outtakes and some really hilarious bloopers; and more! This is a dream presentation of a dream series, and if you haven't bought your DVD player yet, BUY one! This collection is THAT good, and VHS simply can't touch it! With the 'Back to the Future' DVD Collection, to paraphrase the movies, "The Future is here!"

Summary: A stunning rift in the movies continuum Marty!!!
Review: If there's only one thing DVD's should be applauded for, it's for giving old classics a new lease of life, and this particular title was destined for digital before anyone even knew what digital was. The Back to the Future Trilogy will, in most of us, invoke the same feeling of overwhelming nostalgia as when veiwing the original Star Wars trilogy. It's been such a long time since I've viewed the original and wow, why did I wait so long before re-stepping back into the familiar DeLorean and riding through one of the most cleverly scripted and tightly paced films in history. I was blown away all over again by what the makers achieved in terms of, pretty much, everything. The performances are every bit as convincing and funny as you will remember and the sight of the DeLorean taking hair spin turns and breaking the time barrier only serve to ingrain this film deeply in your subconscious. It's simply what it set out to be, a thrill ride of honest intensity and adrenaline populated by sincere and truthful human characters that you generally care about. The second part is, in more ways, even more successful. The plot is so tightly woven and controlled that you can't help but gasp at how much detail is included, from the Mc Fly family history to the correct way to turn on lights in the future. And for visual candy, you cannot beat the beauty of the flying DeLorean. How much you enjoy the third will ultimately depend on how much you like westerns. While obviously retaining the style, wit and bravado of the BTTF legacy, it is alot more digestable in terms of plot and even set pieces. Though as a film by itself, it is a wonderful achievement in entertainment, viewing the installments in order may lead you to feeling ever so slightly let down by a conclusion to the one of the most twisted and brilliant trilogies ever to take place outside of a galaxy far, far away. Keeping in tradition to the BTTF stamp of excellence, the extras on the DVD hit eighty eight miles per hour from the get go and rarely let up. Embarrassing other lesser DVD boxsets with it's desire to leave no stone unturned, we get 'on location' and retrospective documentaries examining the aspects and realities that the film makers endured in order to bring this adventurous tale to the silver screen. Cast and crew remincese fondly about how everyone involved was so excited about the potential of the script and the freshness that Michael J. Fox brought to the production. The star himself even sits in for a few interviews, giving himself wholeheartedly to talk about the movies that made him a household name. While a frankly shocking reason is given to explaining Crispin Glover's absence in BTTF part 2 and therefore, all the extras thereafter, it is the absence of Doc Emmett Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd, that resonates most of all. Why he was not included in this celebration of the trilogy goes unexplained and therefore, unforgiven. This minor gripe aside, this box set is for everyone who managed to hop onboard the DeLorean first time around. For others, this is the perfect medium and compliation to catch up with the time travelling duo as they were meant to be seen. It's astonishing how well the films have aged, and how much better than recent films they remain to be. A knockout!!!

Summary: I CAN'T WAIT!
Review: "Back to the Future" has been my favorite movie ever since I was a little kid and I am so excited that it's finally coming out on DVD! Michael J. Fox is probably one of my all time favorite actors. The first one is of course the best, but I still really like the 2nd one because its take on the future is so cheesy! The 3rd one never caught my interest, but I still watch it because I think MJF was cute when he was young (even though he's old enough now to be my dad. LOL). I asked my parents to buy it for my for Christmas, but I now know that my brother's girlfriend is getting it for him, so I don't even have to worry. BTW, if you really like MJF, you should read "Lucky Man". Talk about a great book! Well that's my review!

Summary: Back-To-Back-To Back to the Future
Review: The BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy pretty much follows the format of the STAR WARS trilogy. The first film is fun, lighhearted, and optimistic, the second installment is dark and menacing with a cliffhanger ending, and the third ties up the loose ends and is once again fun and lighthearted..etc. Also what makes the two series similar is that it boasts memorable and loving characters. Marty McFly, Doc Brown,George McFly, Biff Tannen, and the excellent use of a Delorean for the flying time machine, makes for a great film series. The first film is just pure fun and nostalgic with seamless direction and right on the money, energetic performances all around. The world is introduced to Marty McFly (Micheal J. Fox) and his crackpot inventor friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and their time travel adventure with the cool Delorean. They must help Marty's parents fall in love (Lea Thomson and Crispin Glover), fix the space time continuum, and beat[up]the bad guy, Biff (Thomas J.Wilson). The rest of the trilogy is top notch and fun. Great performance by Thomas J. Wilson as Biff who was probably typcast as a bad guy because of these films, but does a fine job as the bully and outlaw (BTTF-3) who menaces Marty and George McFly.

Review: Why isn't there a way to but only one DVD?
In my opinion, only the first one is (well) worth purchasing. I found the second and third parts very mediocre.
The second one is too confusing, and I would not feel like watching it over and over again. The flying (steam!) train in Back to the Future Part 3 just is too much for me, now!
I am sure that many people feel the same way, but may still buy the whole set because there is no other option right now. Usually, a movie is released as a single DVD, and then becomes part of a set. Why does it have to be different with "Back to the Future"?.
I did not purchase the set myself, although I would love to own "Back to the Future" on DVD. I am just waiting for Universal Studios to fix this oddity. After all, they do provide 2 different versions on the market (wide and full-screen). Just give us more options, please!

Summary: More than an American Classic
Review: Well, after too much Internet gossip and anticipation, we can finally enjoy the DVD version of this great trilogy. Actually, nothing needs to be said about the story or the fantastic crew that made it happen, everybody knows it (and if not, you're a caveman amongst other cavemen...or cave-women...). The DVDs have many extras you'll enjoy and then some... Probably the most-talked about issue of this release is the product's interpretation of the soft matted original cut. If you dig deep enough in Internet sources, you'll read a mixture of positive and negative responses. Fact is, on this 1.85:1 version, you will see less picture information in height, and more in width than the 4:3 version. This movie was shot in soft-matted format, which basically means that the original prints were in a kind of '4:3' format, where in the upper and lower regions there is information that needs to be covered (the microfone syndrome...), and was not intended to be part of the screening of the film. This is done in theaters, and again with every video/ld/dvd release. This in contrast to 2.35:1 movies, or otherwise matted films and formats, in which case the widescreen format is 'directly' converted to DVD, and will give a much more complete film than the 4:3 viewing. But that's not the case here. What all this means is that with the Back To The Future DVDs, a new matting has been applied that has converted the original soft-matted material to a new 1.85:1 format. This means that, like I stated earlier, when you compare the 4:3 VHS (that everybody knows) to this release, the 4:3 has some extra film top and bottom, and this DVD has some extra film left and right. This is what the 'confusion' on the Internet is all about. Some people, rightfully, indicate that they are missing peaces of the film (Marty's sci-fi jacked is f.i. not fully displayed in the DVD whereas it was on ld and VHS), but other information is added on the DVD (the hard matted special effects sequences). Thus, some people are inclined to say that this is not the original movie version. Actually, being a soft matted presentation in theaters in the mid '80's and later, it probably differed each time it was presented, with a different projector setting each time, resulting in a different matting and screening each time. This DVD version is just another interpretation of matting. And everybody has something to say about this one! To make a long story short, please enjoy this classic and its many extra features, with or without the knowledge that in every different media format, there is a different viewing of this wonderful peace of family entertainment.
