Summary: Universal Studios statement concerning framing issue
Review: A recent review mentions the framing problem present in the Back To the Future Trilogy Box Set (Widescreen, Region 1) for movies 2 and 3. This is the official Universal Studios statement on the problem:"Universal Studios Home Video is aware of a minor technical framing issue on the "Back to the Future Trilogy" widescreen DVDs. The framing appears differently from the laserdisc releases for approximately two minutes during "Back to the Future II" and four minutes during "Back to the Future III." The framing difference is unnoticeable to widescreen DVD viewers and does not detract from or interrupt the viewing experience. Consumers with further questions can call (888) 703-0010. All future pressings will have the correct framing. For those of you that have noticed the problem and wish to swap your copy, please contact Universal on the above number."

Summary: U HAVE TO GET THIS!
Review: When I first heard about the trilogy coming out on DVD I thought "I should get it" then I saw the price...finally I just broke down and bought it. I'm sooo glad I did! The bonus stuff like the deleted scenes and behind the scenes stuff is sooo worth the money!! I've learned so much interesting stuff about the movie since then, which makes it a lot more enjoyable!!

Summary: This is one good box set
Review: I'm one happy owner of this box set, it's an obligation for any BTTF fan to have this!
Everything that's said above is true, the set has over 10 hours of extra footage, including the designing of the DeLorean, and many more things... you can see deleted scenes from all three movies, such as Marty, as "Darth Vader", talking to George (a long version never seen), or old Biff vanishing from existence, or even Bufford "Mad Dog" Tannen killing Marshall Strickland!
Besides, you have the videoclips of Huey Lewis and the news, and ZZ Top, interviews, special footage behind the scenes where you can see how they tried out the hoverboards, how they make Marty into an old version of himself, and many more... I can guarantee you that you won't waste your money if you buy this.

Summary: Rushed and commercial release
Review: Have ordered and bought the set in amazon before I had a chance to read the defect on Part 2 and 3. Scanned a few scenes in 2 and 3 but the differences are not very obvious.(since I'm using a 4:3 tv). Whether you buy it today or want to wait for a re-pressing, that is totally up to you.(probably depends on your preference for the movie) But I really felt that the release was very commercial and rushed... why? first time for me to see a drinking water product leaflet together with the dvd booklet.... WOW! talk about earning mega-bucks for endorsements... the plastic cover of the plastic case was also cut, folded.... it appears the assembler was in a big hurry to ship it off and earn hoiday pay.....I hope my part 3 disc works 100% ... I saw a small deppression on the disc....
Overall rating of 3 stars...but the disc made it low...(video quality for me is 4 stars- some scenes appear grainy on different parts)

Summary: WARNING! Do not buy the widescreen edition!!
Review: I just watched part II of the trilogy, and all they did to make it "widescreen" is CUT the top and bottom off of the fullscreen version! Why in the world did they do that? They are supposed to ADD more to the movie with widescreen, not take it out. From what I understand, part III is the same way.

Summary: UNIVERSAL HAS RIPPED US OFF AGAIN
Review: You have probably already read about the aspect ratio problems with this set. Universal announced, in a statement (go to dvdangle.com to read the entire message) that they will NOT be releasing a corrected version, because the flaws are minimal and cannot be detected by the customer. Really? Well then how did I, and many like me, notice that the aspect ratio on parts 2 and 3 are incorrect? First, the "E.T." fiasco, now this. What a gyp...

Summary: Unique Spin On Time Travel
Review: The "Back To The Future" movies are well known by most people and are considered to be a classic. It plays not so much on going back in time to save the world, but yourself. It plays on all the things we wonder about time-travel but are never seen in any movies but these. Now to start off with, my liking for them goes in order; the first is my favorite, second is my second favorite, and third is my least favorite. The first film has a unique magic to it, and is capable of surviving the playback test. I could watch it a hundred times and not get sick of it. It's charm keeps bringing you back for more. However, I feel that the other two, mostly the third one, just drag on. The second one is helpful to answer your questions from the first, but the third is almost nonsense. But keeping the somewhat low price in mind, it's so worth it to buy this box set even if you like only the first. The whole set is very nice and polished, picture and sound quality are great and make it seem like you're watching a brand new movie. There are a fair amount of extras on each disk and all are very fun to look through. I guarantee that once you buy this great box set, you will have hours of fun experiencing Marty's adventures through time!

Summary: This was so neat... it inspired me to write my first review.
Review: The DVD extras are amazing. There is so much to see. It made the movies all the more interesting. I had forgotten these were my favorite childhood movies. The "making of the trilogy" segments had me walking around saying things like, "Did you know they started filming Back to the Future with another kid, and then they switched to Michael J. Fox?" "Did you know that 'Marty's' dad made too many demands when they asked him to be on Back to the Future II, so that's why they killed him off for the second movie?" and on and on and on I could go! These extras are worth watching, and it's neat to own this trilogy on DVD, hopefully there will still be working DVD players when I have kids and we can watch these together! :)

Summary: Why Fullscreen Is Bad.
Review: Fullscreen butchers the original film negative that the director invisioned. Back to the Future-The Complete Trilogy is available in both widescreen and full-screen formats. There's a lot of controversy going on about how the black bars on these disks block picture. I only noticed this a few times, like at the beginning of #2 when Marty says "Hey, Doc. You better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88" and Doc said "Roads! We're we going we don't need roads." There was a framing problem there, but as a whole, there were only about three times in the whole series that I noticed any problems, and I recommend that everybody on earth pick up the Back to the Future-The Complete Trilogy widescreen edition. A lot of people say these widescreen DVDs are just full-screen with black bars, but that's not true. In part 2, when Griff is about to hit McFly with a baseball bat, the guy on the TV is screaming. You can't see this in full-screen, so that is way widescreen is better. Incidentally, these movies were filmed in a type of widescreen that is matted, and that is why there is less picture information on the botom of the screen. Sure not worth all the fuss it's been getting, huh? Oick up the widescreen version, avoid the full-screen version. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Summary: My only two issues with this movie. . .
Review: This is a fun series, but there are a couple details in the sequels that ruined it for me. First:
The Future, old Biff steals the Delorian, goes to the past gives his younger self the sports almanac right? Sooo when he returns to the future, shouldnt he have arrived in the future where his is rich, and not the same future Marty and Doc are messing around in? Second:
Doc Brown came back to 1885 in one Delorian, then hid it away, right? Then Marty took that same car in 1955 and took it back to save him. OK. So then there is that whole deal with the gas tank being punctured, having no gas, and needing that whole train-senario. ok, here it comes . . . But! Why didnt they fix the puntured gas tank, then fill it with the gas that was in the Delorian that the Doc hid in the cave? Or use whatever energy source it had for this sequel. 'Cause with Marty bringing it back to 1885 they would have 2 Delorians to work with . . . ok I'm nit-picking . .I know.
