Features: DVD, Special Edition
Editor's Note
Marty and Doc fix the McFly family in the year 2015 only to find new wrinkles back home in Hill Valley, 1985, which forces them to go back to 1955 to fix the future. Whew! Academy Award Nominations: Best Visual Effects.
Plot Summary
Time-traveling Marty McFly propels himself into the year 2015 in order to keep his future son from going to prison. But while there, he commits a careless error that threatens to disrupt the precarious balance of the space-time continuum. What follows is a dizzying chase back and forth through nearly seven decades in an attempt to set events back into their proper order. And many of the scenes from the first film are revisited, only this time from a slightly different point of view.

 | Back to the Future Part II - DVD Review By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/30/2009 4:47 PM | |
Back to the Future takes a darker turn with this first of two sequels (which were shot together, perhaps for the first time in film history that more than one film was made simultaneously for a staggered release), in which the relatively quaint and simple time travel arc from BTTF gets far more confusing and, in some ways, more fulfilling. The setup from the first film -- Marty's son is in trouble in 2015 -- turns out to be a MacGuffin and of little consequence. The real point is to get Marty into the future and to get a now aged Biff into the Delorean and back to 1955, where he gives his younger self a sports almanac that lets him instantly become a millionaire through sports betting....read the full review |

"...[Zemeckis and Gale] skillfully integrate many snippets from the other film into this one....Fox approaches his role as an eternal good sport..." 11/22/1989 p.C9Los Angeles Times
"...FUTURE II's best moments are like a Tex Avery cartoon with live actors, crammed to the edges of the frame with nutty touches....Technically, the film brings multiple role-playing to new deftness..." 11/22/1989 p.C1 |
