Amazon.co.uk Review
Has Hollywood produced many more rounded, enjoyable trilogies such as this? We think not, and it’s real testament to the quality of the Back To The Future trilogy that it all holds up so spectacularly well over twenty years since the first film appeared.

The films, as you probably know, following the time-travelling antics of Marty McFly, played by Michael J Fox, and Dr Emmett Brown, brought wonderfully to life by Christopher Lloyd. Across the three films, Marty and the Doc head back to the old west, meet Marty’s kids in the future, nearly ruin the meeting between his parents in the past, and all the while deal with the unwelcome interference of Biff Tannen and his family tree.

Bluntly, for sheer excitement, these movies are hard to beat. Mixing in tightly woven scripts with good effects, lively direction and an endearing set of performances from a superbly-chosen cast, the whole trilogy is just tremendously good fun. Fox and Lloyd must take a good chunk of credit for that, as their on-screen partnership is in many ways the glue that sticks everything so firmly in place, but conversely, it feels odd singling them out when so much else has gone right.

A worthy addition to any DVD collection, the Back To The Future Trilogy is what can happen when Hollywood really works. From the carefully layered screenplays through to the proliferation of standout moments, you can only hope that the occasional rumours of a fourth instalment continue to prove false. After all, how can the filmmakers possibly match their achievements with these three?--Simon Brew

Synopsis
Features BACK TO THE FUTURE in which a Californian teenager becomes the innocent victim of a local crack-pot's invention - a time machine made from a DeLorean car. He finds himself in his home town thirty years back where he is in for some embarrassingly funny surprises. In BACK TO THE FUTURE - PART 2, a visit by Marty and the Doc to the year 2015 seems to resolve a few problems with the future McFly family. When they return home, they discover someone has tampered with time and Hill Valley, 1985. They must once again get back to 1955 to save the future. In BACK TO THE FUTURE - PART 3, Marty is stranded in 1955 and must now travel to 1855 to rescue Doc Brown. Surviving Indian attacks and unfriendly townsfolk it's up to Marty to grab the love-struck Doc, leave the Wild West and get back to the future.

Great DVD, Frames are CORRECTED, DTS too
I wont say much about the movies, everyone knows what they are about anyway. What I would like to say is -

The framing in this DVD version is CORRECT.
It has a DTS soundtrack.
Picture quality is the best ever seen.

Also, Amazon service is great!!! They shipped it on 26 Aug 2008 from the UK and I received it on the 31st in India. Great going Amazon.

Just wish the US site was this fast. They take a month to deliver!!!

Works every time
Every time I go back to Back To The Future, I know it'll be as enjoyable as the last time. The film just works on every level, from the perfect cast to the zig zag script.
The first is the best, the second is not quite there and the third film is the weakest of the trio but they are all still very entertaining and look down on just about any rival. If you see other teen films from the 1980s they are quite embarrassing now. The Breakfast Club, War Games, St Elmo's Fire, Pretty In Pink and so many others which I can't recall the names of! Very few are as good to watch, and they're all victims of their time. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is still very watchable but that's about all.
I wish they would release these films with proper extras like a directors and actors commentary over all three! The one thing about the trilogy which is almost worth losing a star for is the way the extras get less and less with each film. I read that the picture is still not in the right ratio so if that's wrong then I expect we'll see another re-re-release one day! I've already bought this twice over the last few years. But those aren't important enough to spoil what are three well made, well written and well acted films. No collection is really complete without these!

Awesome!
This trilogy is defo worth the money! One of my best buys...a legendy film! Watch these over...and over again!
