Summary: Great movie, great extras...
Review: ... However, the poor framing is absolutely unforgiveable. The studio knew about it but released it anyway, and now it is up to us, the unsuspecting consumer to get a replacement in February! Despite how minor this may sound, it is a very major problem. It honestly looks like someone down at Universal who was trying to cut corners simply took the 4:3 pan and scan version and slapped black bars on the top and bottom, thinking none of us would ever know the difference. Substantial portions of the picture are often cut off, parts that I can remember vivdly from watching the movies as a kid that are no longer there. For example, in part 2 when Marty gets out of the lake and his jacket starts beeping at him, you have no idea what is going on becuase the blinking button on the coat is completely out of frame. My advice is to wait until March if you're going to buy this set...

Summary: :) IT'S BACK!!
Review: If you are an 80s child, this is the DVD collection for you! Who can forget Doc Brown and his wonderful saying, "GREAT SCOTT!" Or Marty's, "This is heavy!" It's wonderful to see all the 80s clothing and stuff. If you love the 80s, this is a must!

Summary: Great Movies, Poor Product
Review: I've waited a long time to get my hands on this trilogy. They take me back to the 80's, back to my teen years. With that excitement aside, I'm now told that there is an error with disk 2 & 3. It seems the widescreen matting was not done correctly resulting in a poor product by Universal. This is Universals response to the situation....."Thank you for your email. Universal Studios will exchange Back to the Future parts 2 and 3 for copies with the updated framing in late February 2003. You may send the DVDs back now or wait until February. Please send Back to the Future disks 2 and 3, without the case, and a letter with the following information: Name, Full Mailing Address, Daytime Phone Number, Reason for Return and Return Address. Send to: Back to the Future DVD Returns
PO Box 224468
Dallas, Texas 75260 Thank you,
Universal Studios Customer Service"

Summary: Transported Me Back To the 80s
Review: So, I got a DVD player for Christmas and decided to pick up this trilogy, (in full screen). I remember all 3 of these movies when I was a little kid in the 80s, and I still love them. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are wonderful together. When Doc Brown, (Lloyd), creates a time machine out of a car, all hell breaks loose. The two friends quickly screw up the space-time continuem, and have to repair all the damage. They are constantly being harrassed by Biff Tannon, who wreaks havok from 1885 until 2025! Simply the best time travel movies ever. No movie will ever top them!

Summary: Finally!
Review: Yes, this is very much worth the dough. Some of the deleted scenes are hilarious, like the "peanut brittle" scene where Marty is encouraging his father (in '85) to be a fighter and stand up to people, and while he is saying this, a dad with his girlscout daughter, walk right into the house and the dad says "oh, hey Mcfly, my daughter here is selling peanut brittle, 5$ a box, so I signed you up for a whole case, ok?"
George: "Ohhhh, uhhhhh, ohhhhhh, oooookkkkkay."
Dad: "y'see honey, I told you, ya only have to go to one house." Of course, seeing the first Back to the Future in dvd quality is great, there are just so many classic charchters in these films, like Biff, Doc, the 3-d glasses guy, Martin Berry, Mr. Strickland, etc. Go ahead and rediscover this one, take advantage of the extra features. It's perfect for all movie collectors.

Summary: Must Have for BTTF Fans
Review: This three disc set is jsut chock-full of extras!!! This is a must have for any BTTF fan and it's interesting to see and hear lots of information that wasn't known prior. The junky matte of II & III though means that if you haven't already gotten your copies, you should wait til February so that you can get the correct matting.

Summary: No package deals--give me the original!
Review: I love Back to the Future, but I'm only lukewarm to the second and third films and don't really have to have them on DVD. The first I want, because it stands alone just fine. Yet Universal in its wisdom (yes, that's sarcasm) has decided we must have the boxed set and only the boxed set? I was insulted enough by that alone, but to discover from other reviews that the two discs I don't want are flawed adds injury to the insult. Let me get this straight: I'm expected to shell out an extra [amount]for two movies I don't necessarily want just to get the one I want more, and for my trouble I'll get lousy copies of those movies? Universal, we deserve better. It was boneheaded not to release the movies as standalones as well as in the boxed set. Even if standalones are coming down the road, those who enjoyed the first movie more (I'm hardly alone in my opinion) deserved the chance to own it separately if they wished.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THESE DVDS!
Review: Consumer beware: every widescreen copy of the Back to the Future trilogy is defective. Parts 2 and 3 have had the top and bottom of the picture CUT OFF! Universal so far has done a pretty clean job of hiding this information, because they haven't made an official consumer alert or announced a recall of any kind, because they still want you to buy it, BUT DON'T GIVE IN! They will fix the problem in february, and will offer replacements to everyone who bought the defective copies. Howevwer, I'm afraid that there will be alot of people duped into buying it and never know that it's defective, unless they have a widescreen TV. So, buyer beware... I will personally put up with the long, painful wait to add these discs to my library. However, I think it's better than buying a defective copy and risk the mail in replacement program getting [...]up.
