Summary: One of the Best

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good collection
Review: I'm not going to review the plot or the quality of the movies... instead i'm going to review the content of the DVD (everybody knows that these movies are truly classics).

This collection contains Spanish subtitles in almost all of the extra features, something missing in almost all the Region 1 dvd that contains Spanish subtitles (even in some Region 4 DVD like the Simpsons!), there are also French audio track and subtitles; one thing that is new in all the DVD that i had bought up to day, are the bloopers or outtakes of the movies, you will laugh louder with these, also you can find Deleted scenes with explanation from Bob Gale about why these escenes where deleted, some FAQs with the answers directly from the authors from the movies (do you remember the question "Why Dr. Emett Brown (from 1885) can't remember that he send Marty to 1885 in 1955?"), two audio comentaries (without subtitles... what a shame :( ), very interesting featurettes, production notes and a lot of stuff.

About the Repress of the Widescreen Edition of the discs 2 and 3, i had watched all the DVD and i can't find anything noticeable... in fact, i don't know what is missing or what is worng with these discs (the only flaw that i noticed was in the Disc 1, when George Mc Fly punches Tannen, you can notice a one second freeze, but nothing else)

A worth buying

Summary: I don't want the sequels!
Review: The sequels are in a lower class than the original. THAT is why the three aren't a coherent, indivisible group that need to be sold together.  Too bad, really, cuz trying for thrice the price won't even fetch a third!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An 80's classic brought to DVD technology
Review: I have been waiting for some time for the Back to the Future films to appear on DVD. And these do not disappoint. They appear in their original theatrical format with DVD quality to boot. The 10 hours of bonus material are top notch as well.

I think we are all familiar with the story, but here's a recap:

BTTF 1 is the story of Marty McFly's accidental trip back to 1955 and his efforts to get his parents to meet up, when he himself was the reason they don't meet in the first place.

BTTF 2 is the result of the ending of #1 in which Doc Brown let's Marty know that there is a problem with his kids in the future that needs to be fixed, which of course leads to a whole set of new problems.

BTTF 3, probably the weakest of the bunch, brings the story to a close by taking Marty back to 1885 to bring Doc Brown back to the future.

Overall a great set and a worthy gift anytime of the year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incorrect Framing...... WHO CARES!?
Review: Well, I guess I'm contradicting myself, because a lot of people seem to care about some sort of framing problem I didn't notice (I've watched this films hundreds of times), even though it's barely noticable. People, go buy this set, NOW! Don't listen to people who do nothing but sit at home 24/7 and do comparisions between a laserdisc and a DVD. Those people: GET A LIFE!

That being said, the back to the future films are some of the greatest movies ever. They are funny, intense, exciting, suspensful, everything you ever want in a movie. This trilgy is extremely solid as a whole, but my order of fav to least fav is

1. Back to The Future Part 2

2. Back to the Future

3. Back to the Future Part 3

These are great, and the DVDs picture and sound quality is great, but get the widescreen version, and not the full-screen version (if you want full-screen, keep your VHS!). Get it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest...sci-fi...trilogy...ever!
Review: Back to the future is one of the most charming, original, intellengent, funninest, and greatest movies of all time! But I do have some thoughts... My biggest beef with the trilogy is BTTFIII because well [its bad]...period. The second one had one of the most longest and confusing time-travel plot ever conceived by mankind! I cannot stand two of the deleted scenes (I will not name them because of spoilers)! The discs have a "huge" amount of bonus features ever in a DVD! They have the answers to some of the most asked questions from all the BTTF flicks including if hoverboards ever "truly" existed in mankind's history. Michael J. Fox actually was able to do a few trailers with Muhammed Ali about Parkinson's Disease. Amazangly, is also able to do an enhanced conversation with him about his work in the movie, even with his disaese happening to him. My grade:A, even though with minor problems, the movie still contiunes to be great in every way a movie could ever truly be in life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth the pruchase
Review: Enjoyed all the movies, the same as when they were first released. Very enjoyable for the young and the old. Great family entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Already a classic!
Review: I remember seeing this movie when I was 9 years old. I've seen it just about every year since 1985. It's one of those movies with a story that's engaging but still easy to relate to. Even after all this time, it still keeps its charm. You love the characters: Marty, George, Doc Brown, Biff and Lorraine. You wonder what you would do differently in Marty's shoes. You marvel at thinking about going back in time and seeing your parents fall in love. Along the way, there's an incredible score by Alan Silvestri that when you hear it, you know it's from Back to the Future. It doesn't get better than owning the trilogy on Widescreen DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD Collection.
Review: "BACK TO THE FUTURE"

The best of the series by far, this sweet-natured sci-fi-fantasy-adventure-comedy is a real winner. Robert Zemekis' second big hit (after "Romancing The Stone"), "BTTF" is in a way, every genre in one (except maybe horror). It's at times hillarious, other times romantic, and the finale is nerve-racking! Everyone knows the plot, so I won't bother with that. A great movie for everyone!

Rating: 4.5 Stars

"BACK TO THE FUTURE-PART II"

This sequal loses the charm & spirit of the first, and replaces it with lots of action and suspense. While this terrible loss is at first unforgivable, once you watch both making-of documentaries, you realize why this might have happened; you see, director Bob Zemekis wasn't able to give the film his full attention (since he was shooting "Part III" at practically the same time), so the film loses his trademark touch. But complaints asside, it's a very entertaining movie, with so many clever twists and turns in the paradox-filled plot that it's very impressive! The special effects are really good, too. Yet another entertaining movie, yet not really worthy of the Zemekis name (a big let-down after the first).

Rating: 4 Stars

"BACK TO THE FUTURE-PART III"

The third entry in the awesome series gains back all of the Zemekis touch, and loses all of the constant hectic pacing of the "Part II" (except for the finale, much like the first one). And what comes off is a highly enjoyable sci-fi western! There's a well-handled (yet somewhat under-played) romance between Doc Brown and a school teacher. This is an improvement over the second installment, and returns to the fine quality of "Part I". A Worthy conclusion to one of the best movie series ever!

Rating: 4 Stars

SPECIAL FEATURES

The extras on all three discs are great. The deleted scenes are really interesting to watch, and some allow the movie to make more sense. The Outtakes are hillarious! Each movie features two making-of documentaries, the better ones being the "Making The Trilogy" features. I haven't listened to any of the commentaries yet, but I hear they're all really good. (NOTE: Don't watch the "Most Frequently Asked Questions" feature on the third disc. While it offers some insight on all three films, in the end you become very confused, and it makes it harder to just sit back and enjoy the movies without asking all these questions yourself and trying to figure it out.)

CONCLUSION~ This three-disc boxed set is well worth your money. Its a very interesting series, as all three films are so different from eachother (especially "Part II"). But its also a unique movie trilogy, because everything in all three films are so connected and entwined. A must-buy for any movie fan!

OVERALL RATING: 5 Stars

Summary: A Brilliant Trilogy Set!!!
Review: As I only first saw the film this christmas, I must say that even though being made over 15 years ago, it is a brilliant film. And having the whole trilogy together in a box set, is even better.
The first film is about a 17 year-old boy, Marty McFly, whose friend Doc.Brown invents a time machine. Accidently, Marty is sent back to the '50s.Where he intervenes with his parents first meeting, now he has to get them together or he won't be born. It's a very exciting film, and I mostly liked it because it was set in the '50s, and I think the '50s is a fun decade, and the makers really used their imagination.
The second film, wasn't as good I thought, but still an intresting sequel, they send Marty and Doc into the future, where Marty has to set things right with his children. But he makes a mistake and has to go back to the '50s again, to set it right. Although some people think it's confusing because they go through many time changes, I thought it was fun, fast, exciting and a great twist.
The third film, is probably my least favourite, but they still chose an intresting genre:Cowboys and the Old West! This is a favourite to everyone and they used it brilliantly, when Doc's life is in danger,and Marty has to go back to 1885 to save him.
All three films have excellent cast members, Including: Michael J.Fox (Marty McFly), Christopher Lloyd (Doc. Brown), Lea Thompson (Marty's mum), Thomas F.Wilson (Marty's enemy)and in the 1st film Crispin Glover (Marty's dad). They all played the parts wonderfully, and gave it their all.
The extras with the film were all very good, especially the Making of The Back To the Future Trilogy. I recommend this product for everyone to watch, it's also a good family film, and I promise lots of laughs and fun, watching this trilogy!
