Summary: We gotta get back in time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Back to the future is one of my favorite movies of all time! disc one: a normal teenage boy named Marty Mccfly(Michael J Fox) was on his way to school when a insane scientist(Christopher Lloyd) tells him to meet him at 1:15 Am in the parking lot of mall. He discovers that the scientist had made a time machine out of a Deloran. When marty transports him self to Nov 12 1955 he screws up his parents first meeting and runs uut of fuel. Will Marty ever get back to the present and repair the damanges he made? Disc2:When Marty and Doc go to 2015 Marty buys a sports almanic that tell you the results of every sporting event from 1950-2000. But when the Biff from 2015 steels the time machine and the book and gives it to him self in 1955 you can expect some serious madness. Will Doc and Marty be able to repair the timeline? Disc3: When Marty see's Doc's name on a tombstone from 1885 Marty has to go to the old west to save his friend from an outlaw. But when Marty gets to 1885 he runs out of gas!!! Will Marty and doc return safely to 1985? After reading this I hope you buy this. Don't forget all the extra stuff!

Summary: Back to the Future and Eric Stoltz
Review: I am hopefull that this new release will include significant footage from the discared performance by Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. It will be interesting to see Eric's interpatation of Marty. This will give all of us a facinating insight as to what effect the director was looking for, and perhaps why Eric was ulitmately replaced with Michael J. Fox. Originally I had heard that that Eric Had almost completed the entire film, before he was replaced...Now wouldn't that be something. To be able to view a complete version staring Eric Stoltz?

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I'm really looking forward to the DVD set of Back to the Future. I'm getting the full-screen edition because I got a 27-inch TV that won't fit with widescreen. I don't like widescreen very much because it sucks! I rather get the fullscreen edition so I can see the whole screen. I'm jealous of the reviewer who lives in New Zealand who just got the Back to the Future trilogy. I should take a flight to New Zealand and just get the trilogy before anyone else does who lives in the United States. But I think Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies and I can't wait to get it! Thanks to DVD!

Summary: one last clarification...
Review: I also feel compelled to clarify the widescreen/fullscreen debate on this release. The simple point: if you want to see the movie as it was in the theater, get the widescreen version. In some movies (probably including these), you do in fact get more picture on the top and bottom in the fullscreen format (see Air Force One) but still lose some on either side. These were filmed in Super-35, I believe, and that extra footage on the top and bottom is "junk footage". Watch some behind-the-scenes on virtually any movie and you'll see the monitor that the director watches and it usually has some sort of white frame on the screen. What's inside the frame will be seen in theaters. With Super-35, the "junk footage" is added back in to the fullscreen VHS or DVD release. Of course you then run the risk of seeing mistakes, ie: boom mikes that didn't fall into the white frame on the director's monitor. Bottom line: if you're any sort of movie lover and like your movies how they're supposed to be seen, how the director INTENDED them to be seen, get the widescreen format.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I recommend all three of these movies. By the way, I am always
astonished to hear people say that wide-screen takes away some
of the picture, when in fact it adds more picture by changing
the aspect ratio. Full-screen robs you, not wide-screen! OK, if
you have a tiny TV and are never going to get a larger TV, go
ahead and buy the full-screen. The reviewer below who claims
that this release in wide-screen is going to have some of the
top and bottom of the picture removed to fake wide-screen is
just plain wrong!

Summary: It's worth the wait!
Review: This dvd came out in New zealand and Australia on August 22nd and to all those americans waiting with baited breath for december 17th, let me just say: IT'S WORTH THE WAIT!!!!The picture quality is excellent, on a par with actually being at the movie theater seeing the film for the first time. The extras are very good with some hillarious bloopers and a great commentary. GO BACK.... TO THE FUTURE!!!

Summary: Widescreen, we are cheated
Review: I have already submitted two reviews that this DVD set was released in Hong Kong on 4.9.2002. Due to some unknown reason, my reviews were not posted and the review from a reviewer in Australia got his way to report the release of this set first. I don't mind whether I am the first to tell everybody that outside the USA this DVD set has been released, my main concern is that I want to tell all the American citizen that the DVD they all want was not released simultaneously as in the other part of the world. The main complaint about this widescreen editon which is the only version available in PAL format availabe in Eurpoe, Hong Kong ans Australia, is the so called wide screen format. Just like the other reviewer reported before, the wide screen version is just adding black bars to the top and bottom of the full screen edition. I have compared the laser disc editons of these 3 movies with the DVD (PAL) edition, the top and the bottom of the screen was blocked by black bars to create an illusion that the movies are shown in the wide screen format, in fact the only advantage you have is seeing something insignificant either on the left or right hand side of the screen. I suggest the Back to the Future lovers to buy the FULL SCREEN Edition. Other than this, I am satisfied with the performance of this DVD set. Because of the disadvantage of the wide screen edition, I only gave 4 stars to these DVDs. I hope that this time my review will be posted to let other knows what to choose and there is freedom of speech in the United States of America.

Summary: Finally!!! on DVD!!!
Review: When viewed back-to-back, these 3 films could be one movie, however you look at it, the original film released in 1985 is a classic, it begins in a rather quiet fashion, where we see the homestead of Doc Brown who it seems has an endless aray of clocks, all set at the same time,we are given a glimpse of this man & his personality, soon Marty(Michael J. Fox) enters & hooks up to one of Doc's oversized amplifiers that explodes if set on high, propelling Marty across the room in a rather comical scene, where Marty quotes> "Rock-n-Roll" we realize that Marty is a typical 80's teenager that hangs out with Doc, probably because he is fun to be around,as Doc introduces his new invention, a time-traveling DeLorean, he is soon ambushed by terrorist that he stole plutonium from, the DeLoren's power source,he is killed & Marty flees in an attempt to escape, which he does into the year 1955, where he has to get in touch with Doc's younger counterpart to find a power source capable of sending him back, in the process he interrupts his parents first meeting, altering his existence, this is intense as Marty now has to get his parents together while the 1955 Doc has to find a power source since plutonium is non-existent in 1955, they realize a bolt of lightning can substitute the source, since history says it will strike the town clock tower at 10:04 on Nov 12,1955, the 1950's culture is neat to say the least, not only does Marty have to reunite his parents, but he has to make a decision whether or not to inform Doc of his inpending fate in 1985, getting his parents together is intense to say the least, but once he does, the real intensity is getting back as him & Doc argue about his inpending fate, as you can guess, everything that can go wrong does,but Doc gets Marty back to 1985 successfully, won't spoil it for those who have not seen it, which is probably minimal at best, but they are successful after all, the second film is fun but un-even, the futuristic 2015 is less convincing in its approach, one can only guess what it will really be like, I just wish they would have done a "Blade Runner"-like setting instead, this is the only aspect that falls short on the second film, the hellish 1985 that Marty & Doc encounter as they return to their time is consequentual in how time-travel can be misused, they discover that Biff(the first film's bully) has somehow stolen the DeLorean in 2015 as an old man with a sports almanac with sports dates from 1950 to 2000 to travel back to 1955 & give it to his younger self in the hopes of acquiring millions in wealth, which his younger self does creating an alternate 1985 for Marty & Doc, who now have to travel back to 1955 during Marty's first trip to retrieve the almanac thus settngs thing back the way they were, they are once again successful, but soon the same lightning storm that sent Marty back in the first film has now struck Doc in mid-air whose DeLorean now has a hover-conversion, thus sending Doc back to 1885, where Marty now has to go to get Doc, which in turn sets up the third film, which re-captures the warm feeling of the first film, we see Hill Valley as it looked during th old west, & Marty & Doc's attempt to once again get back to 1985, but Doc soon falls for Clara(Mary Steenburgen) who is a local, the lightning bolt destroyed the hover-conversion, & now Doc & Marty's only hope for getting back is pushing the DeLorean up to 88 MPH, which they do on a railroad track, since there are no roads or gas, by hijacking a train, like the first film, Murphy's Law happens once again, but they once again pull it off, with Doc staying behind with Clara, the western landscapes are by far good to look at, the filmakers definately give it a western feel, the same as in the first film's 1950's look, & is a great trilogy in all fairness, despite the second film's flaws, the third more than makes up for it!!

Summary: Already released
Review: ...PThe quality of the DVD is good, the extra's are also very good, especially the animated anecdotes are good. Also there are some very nice deleted scenes. The quality of these is not optimal, but they are still good. I did not yet watch all the extra's, but I am very happy with this DVD. The main thing of this DVD-set: They released it!! (finally!).
