Movie Review: Back to the Future (1985)

It's here. One of the best movies ever made is coming to Media Center. When you might ask? Well...right now. Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies of all time. Currently, it seems like it is one of society's favorite movies of all time. Robert Zemeckis combined with Steven Spieldberg is a great equation. Back to the Future is the story of Marty Mcfly. He is a teenager who encounters a terrorist shootout one night. The victim ends up being a brilliant scientest. One thing leads to another, and Marty and the guy Doc are traveling back to the past to rearrange the present and the future. Not the future from the past, but the future from the present. This movie is kind of confusing to wrap your head around at first, I'm sure there are some people who have watched this and found some random plot holes that go within the movie. Anyway, what makes this movie so good are two things, acting and storyline. The events that Marty travels back to in this movie are really funny to watch. He unknowingly falls in love with his mother when he goes back in time. He also inadvertently expresses his views on television, about a few decades too early. As for acting, Micheal J Fox is a great actor, he had a great run in the 1980s and is still excellent today. Christopher Lloyd is great in this film, he is eccentric and also really likeable at the same time. That's a hard thing to do, making a character weird often involves giving them some really unlikeable trait that turns most viewers off. With this one, it works really well. Overall, Back to the Future is a great movie that I could watch over and over and never get tired of. Oh yeah, the car? Awesome! Four Stars
