Review: 'Back to the Future' is outstanding out of time


Back to the Future   PG       
            Robert Zemekis blends the right amount of everything scifi to make thus fun 1985 scifi comedy, where Marty McFly goes back 30 years into the part through an accident with wacky inventor Doc Brown's time machine DeLorean. That is just the essence of cool. Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd are a brilliant dynamic duo. The year is 1985 and wisecracking teen Marty McFly is a known slacker, which he intends to change, but his inventor friend, Doc Brown, invites him to a time experiment that accidentally transports him literally out of his element, to 1955, where he accidentally messes up the meeting of his parents, who in the past are a scifi nerd and a socialite. The tight script, uncompromising characters, and good old fun makes for a ‘fish out of water’ and a culture clash between two generations. The JVC camcorder used in the movie was the same model the reviewer did his first home movies! Anyway, great trailers and advertising made it even stronger. Fans even build their own time machine DeLorans, even if they can’t really go back to the future. It has become one of the classic iconic films of the 1980s not just the best scifi fantasy of 1985.
