Summary: HEADIN' BACK IN TIME
Review: I thought that this film was very creative and original. It's all about Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) accidently going back in time to when his parents were kids and the havoc that he creates by saving his future father's life. The best thing about this trilogy is that back to back it creates almost six hours of non- stop fun with Marty McFly and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd).

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Gotta get back in time!
Review: Man, i've been waiting for this one for a loooong time, and it's finally here! The BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy is up there with the STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES films, the ones that HAVE to get on DVD soon! Well, this impressive 3 Disc presentation will hold off my Indy cravings for a while, 'cos this is everything I had hoped for and then some!
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the original BACK TO THE FUTURE is the best of the three, and it's also my favorite movie of all time. Everything about it is good; the time-traveling duo of Marty McFly and Doc is fantastic, Zemeckis' and writer Bob Gale's superb story provides some great humor, Alan Silversti's memorable score is one of my favorites and of course, the Time Machine itself, the DeLorean, one of the coolest cars seen on film since 007's Aston Martin.
The premise for the film consists of Doc Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd in crazy mode) inventing a time machine out of a DeLorean, and through a series of events, Marty (Michael J. Fox) gets zapped back in time, where he meets his parents and almost erases himself from existence! The supporting cast are great, including Crispin Glover as Marty's dad, Lea Thompson as Lorraine Baines and Thomas Wilson as Biff. The clever ideas just keep on coming as the film progresses, with every new idea making the journey even more fun. A true classic.

BTTF Part 2 takes the mind-bending back-and-forth through time thing even further, but with less successful results. There are some really good moments though, with Doc and Marty trying to save Marty's son from Biff's son Griff, which much ensuing time-travelling. And the futuristic setting is original and interesting. Not as good as Part 1, but it's still good fun.

BTTF Part 3 is a much more straight-forward entry in the BTTF trilogy, with Doc and Marty travelling to the Old West. The action is much more laid-back than the previous films, making this one a more cohesive adventure. Crazy humour and in-jokes aplenty, it re-captures much of the charm that was lacking in Part 2.
The DVD extras are fantastic, with a great commentary from Michael J. Fox, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, Animated Anecdotes option to see over 150 facts and trivia notes while viewing, Outtakes, bloopers, deleted scenes, interviews, the original "Making of Back to the Future" featurette, interactive production archive and more. The digital transfer is one of the best i've seen, and the Dolby DTS Surround Sound is terrific. A must-have DVD. All together now: "Gotta get back in time!..."

Summary: Finally coming to DVD
Review: This is definitly one of the best films of the 80s. Michael J. Fox plays the part of Marty McFly really well and Christopher Lloyd is good as Emmit "Doc" Brown. This a DVd I have been looking for for a long time since probly DVD's came out but it's finally on its way. The movies were all made well but nothing beats the original. I have seen this movie probably 20 times and I can't wait to get this trilogy for Chrismas a great present

Summary: Still endures
Review: These films have been favorites of mine since their original release. I stood in line in D.C. for hours for the premiere of the third and they have held a special place in my heart ever since. I bought the trilogy on tape when it first came out (even spending upwards of 80.00 for the third on VHS!) and then paid for all three on laser disc. Now I'm buying it on DVD!! Why? Because these movies make up one of the best trilogy's ever. I'm sure that the sound on these DVDs will be phenomenal - and if, down the road, they end up making a back to the future brain implant - I'll end up getting that too. God bless this series.

Summary: This is a must-have-DVD!!!
Review: Let's get real: if there's someone who doesn't love Back to the future (BTTF), you've got to be kidding me!!! This is one of the best trilogys ever made.
I watched the first movie back in 1987 and i inmediately fell in love with the movie subject. I watched it in local tv, here in Costa Rica when the VHS machines were a hit. I desperately begged my mon to get me a copy of this movie. I've got the first and the second movie in 1989. And later on, came the third one.
When you watched the movies you never get tired of them. As a matter of fact , i've learned must of my english watching this movies with CC. hard to believe uh?
Michael J. Fox rised his career after this movie. And what about Christopher Lloyd?
The soundtrack is a classical too. The soundtrack of back to the future is to the middle 80s what the StarWars soundtrack was to the early 80s.
Im waiting to christmas in order to get these movies. Do it as well, you'll never regret.

Summary: Should Be Great! The Wait Is Almost Over...
Review: I'm wondering whether or not this set will include the "Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy" featurette that I found on VHS a few years ago (hosted by Kurt Cameron). It would also be interesting to see footage with Eric Stolz as the original Marty McFly before the role was recast, and deleted 1950's classroom scenes that were pictured in the book on the making of the film. And how about a Huey Lewis & The News video of "The Power of Love"? Or how about an option to view the films chronologically--starting with 1885, then 1955, 1985, and finally 2015. (Wouldn't that be confusing?) Heck, with today's digital technology, the producers could even insert Elizabeth Shoe into the first film as Marty's girlfriend!

A major logic flaw in Part 2 continues to bug me to this day, however. When Old Biff steals the DeLorean from 2015 and travels to the past, Doc and Marty should have been stuck in the future forever! Consider: Old Biff travels to 1955 to give his younger self the almanac. This action creates an alternate timeline where Biff becomes rich and famous. However, this means that the future we saw earlier in the film (where Doc and Marty are visiting) should no longer exist! If Old Biff tried to return to 2015, it would be to an alternate future which logically follows Biff's rise to power. Therefore, Old Biff could not have returned the time machine to Doc and Marty. Once he left 2015 with the DeLorean, he altered the past and created a new future. Doc and Marty we know should have been stranded in a different timeline. Not a good ending, is it?

Yeah, I know, it is just a movie, and I'm going to enjoy the films on DVD anyway, but it would have been better if the writers thought more carefully about the plot of Part 2. Maybe that's why it is the least popular of the three films...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Eric Stoltz, we hardly knew thee.
Review: I'm happy to see these great films are finally coming to DVD, it's just too bad that there doesn't seem to be any footage included of Eric Stoltz's performance as Marty McFly. (One of) the reason(s) that this has been delayed for so long is that Universal was having trouble coming to an agreement with Stoltz regarding the possible usage of footage he appeared in before it was decided he didn't act enough like a teenager and Fox was cast in his place. Apparently, there was no deal. I'll buy the dvd set anyway.
