Amazon.co.uk Review

Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "future boy," who is president in the United States in 1985? Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan. Dr. Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?
Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis topped his breakaway hit Romancing the Stone with this joyous comedy with a dazzling hook: what would it be like to meet your parents in their youth? Billed as a special-effects comedy, the imaginative film (the top box-office smash of 1985) has staying power because of the heart behind Zemeckis and Bob Gale's script. High-school student Marty McFly (Michael J Fox, during the height of his TV success) is catapulted back to the 1950s where he sees his parents in their teens, and accidentally changes the history of how Mom and Dad met. Filled with the humorous ideology of the 50s, filtered through the knowledge of the 80s (actor Ronald Reagan is president, ha!), the film comes off as a Twilight Zone episode written by Preston Sturges. Filled with memorable effects and two wonderfully off-key, perfectly cast performances: Christopher Lloyd as the crazy scientist who builds the time machine (a DeLorean luxury car) and Crispin Glover as Marty's geeky dad. Followed by two sequels. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for the little things so carefully thought out!, 13 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Back To The Future [VHS] [1985] (VHS Tape)
At first glance, and according to some reviewers, 'Back to the Future' is a kids story about time travel. But of course, if you've ever watched it as an adult, you'll know there's far more to it than that.

The storyline is intricately thought out (as with the sequels) and every event and scene contribute heavily. The best thing about BTTF is that you can watch it over and over - and see new things every time you watch it. For example, did you notice that 'Twin Pines Mall' at the start of the film is known as 'Lone Pine Mall' at the end, because Marty in 1955 killed one of the pines? 'Back to the Future' is packed with little things like this, and you have to watch carefully to see them.

As the for the acting and directing - it's first rate stuff. Steven Spielberg produces, and Robert Zemeckis directs. Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd provide the rollercoaster of emotion involved, and Lloyd's portrayal of the lovable, eccentric Doc Brown is perfect.

The reason for owning 'Back to the Future' on video is simple - there'll always be a time when you want to see it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Back to the Future' was way ahead of its time...kind of..., 6 Mar 2008
By M. Garforth "Legion" (Swansea, Wales UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't like kids today passing comment on this film. This film is not for them. It is for me, and the many, like me, who saw the film in the cinema in 1985.

It's ironic that a film dealing with going into the past, should inspire, in me, the longing for the eighties that probably equalled many people's longing for the fifties when they first saw it.

For me, everything is pitch perfect. The comedy balances confidently between smart and slapstick and the adventure element is still exciting now. Sure, special effects have come a long way since '85 but it's testament to Zemeckis and Gale that it doesn't really matter. It never was an effects movie anyway.

The real joy is the relationship between Marty and Doc. Oh, and Marty and his dad. His mum, too. Actually, what would you do if you could speak to your parents when they were your age? I still think to this day that I would have little to say to them. But that is a question for a media studies student, not an Amazon review.

I'm not saying that if you weren't nine in 1985 that you shouldn't watch it. But if you were, you probably love the film more that anybody else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you remember.....the future?, 17 Dec 2003
First of all, I wasn't born when this film was made and yet it (and it's siblings, Part 2 + 3) have gone on to become my favourite films of all time.

No-one needs to know the plot by now but sufficient to say that the story is one that seems as fresh and new each time you watch it. Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have created a writing partnership that will go down in history for it's attention to detail and it's all round cleverness.

Having said that, no film is complete without a brilliant cast and Back To The Future has a team of actors that do the script complete justice. Special mentions should go to Christopher Lloyd as the wild-eyed and wind-swept 'Doc Emmett Brown' and Thomas F. Wilson who puts in a superb turn as 'Biff Tannen'.

An outstanding and unbeatable film that can never be overtaken as one of THE classics.

A must buy DVD!
