Plot: Contemporary high schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) doesn't have the most pleasant of lives. Browbeaten by his principal at school, Marty must also endure the acrimonious relationship between his nerdy father (Crispin Glover) and his lovely mother (Lea Thompson), who in turn suffer the bullying of middle-aged jerk Biff (Thomas F. Wilson), Marty's dad's supervisor. The one balm in Marty's life is his friendship with eccentric scientist Doc (Christopher Lloyd), who at present is working on a time machine. Accidentally zapped back into the 1950s, Marty inadvertently interferes with the budding romance of his now-teenaged parents. Our hero must now reunite his parents-to-be, lest he cease to exist in the 1980s. It won't be easy, especially with the loutish Biff, now also a teenager, complicating matters. Beyond its dazzling special effects, the best element of Back to the Future is the performance of Michael J. Fox, who finds himself in the quagmire of surviving the white-bread 1950s with a hip 1980s mindset. Back to the Future cemented the box-office bankability of both Fox and the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, who went on to helm two equally exhilarating sequels. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Only one Good Thing about this release...
Added 11/17/2009

When Back to the Future came out as a Trilogy Box Set on DVD i was very disappointed. The picture quality is very good, the sound.... but....
Come one... Where are the individual Boxes with original Cover Art? For me this release is the only thing good that has...
But in my opinion, picking up these movies to watch, i pick the Letterbox Edition on Laserdisc and most of the times the Muse Hi-Vision Laserdisc Edition and watch them in 1080i Full HD. The DVD or even Blu Ray cannot match the Laserdisc Cover Art... besides those are the Original Ones.
Much better than DVD, natural and original colors, and it's the Best way to watch Back to the Future until now...

Let's see what Blu Ray brings to us, but i am expecting HOT Picture and Sound!! :)

I'M BACK TO THE 80'S!!!!
Added 11/11/2009

Una de las mejores peliculas de ciencia-ficción y comedia que he visto de la pasada decada de los 80s, donde teniamos esos grandes actorazos como Mr. Fox, quien da rienda suelta a uno de sus mejores personajes, el joven McFly (Alias "Clavin Klein" o "Lewis Strauss, como le llaman en los años 50s); una trama que te mantiene amarrado al asiento desde que comienza la pelicula, y que llega a una problematica tal que te pican los dedos por saber como va a terminar toda esa situación: el problema del joven que accidentalmente viaja en un auto DeLorean convertido en maquina del tiempo hacia los años 50s, donde conoce a sus padres siendo jovenes y al involucrarse en sus vidas pone en peligro su propio futuro, teniendo que buscar al cientifico que le envio al pasado (asumiendo que existe, aunque no esta tan viejo en la actualidad) para resolver su situacion y regresarlo al "presente"; un viaje al pasado, a la nostalgia y a esas buenas peliculas ochenteras que te dejan un magnifico sabor de boca.

back to the future
Added 9/9/2009

Always enjoy the nostalgia of the first one since I was born in 1955. O.k. for kids except for language. Not thrilled when people use "for God's sake sake" or "God's sake" unnecessarily. The trilogy is fun to watch back-to-back.

This editions review (not of the movie, of the extras)
Added 5/7/2009

On this release of the great BTTF movie, you get a 2 disc edition with extra features never released on DVD, nor even on the 4 disc region 4 release.

Obviously the movie is there, it was always good quality and great 5.1 sound on the rest of the editions, and nothing has changed for this one. Now included is a whole heap of new extras.

There is an Audio Commentary from Bob Gale and Niel Canton. It is an actual commentary now, not just the Q&A audio that played to the movie, or separately as audio depending on which edition you had, that other one is still on here, but this 2nd commentary is brand new, not a re-run.

As far as I can tell, all the extras from the other editions are still here. I own a heap of copies of different releases for this movie, and I get a little confused with what was on what; but I know the American fans will be pleased that extra deleted scenes that where only viewable on the region 4 bonus disc (4th disc) are now included in this release.
In particular, the full version of the scene when Doc is asked if he has a permit, and Marty wonders if he will go home gay. It's a great and funny scene.

Also included is the footage of the back to the future ride that used to be at Universal Studios. I went on that ride in 1993, and it was great to see it again. It has two videos for the ride, the first one is the video you would watch while waiting in line for the ride. It's like a news cast and security camera video telling you about Doc's 1 day ride into the future (fictional) and the second video is what you actually saw when on the ride as you chase Biff Tannin through time. Just take not that the ride itself, you sat in a 6 seat Delorean and it moved and rocked around, so it may lose some translation while your sitting on your butt.

If your not particularly interested in bonus features at all, and just watch the thing for the movie, then there is no reason to pick this version up. If you are like me, and love anything you can find of BTTF, you will enjoy this one. It's not just another cash-in release, it does actually have brand new features to enjoy.

Back to pleasure
Added 11/24/2009

This trilogy represents, for me and so many others, the best example of why movies are made - tell a great story which cannot be told in any other way. Everything about these movies is just right, perfect indeed. FUN, FUNNY, carefree and happy. I just LOVE it.
