Movies: Back to the Future Trilogy Box Set
The following is a movie I've watched and reviewed. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not selling DVDs. This is not a list of movies that tell you "the truth about UFOs". Simply said, I like movies. Each review is as simple and non technical as possible.

Description: Back To The Future is an '80s movie that contains sci-fi, humor and drama. Marty McFly is a High School teenager living in Hill Valley. He is a rebel, his father is a weak guy, submitted to the will of bully Biff Tannen, while his mother is a delusioned fat woman. Marty's life is influenced by his dad's fame: beyond his girlfriend Jennifer, his rock band is unsuccessful, at school he's no genius. His best friend Doc Emmett Brown, a crazy scientist and inventor. In fact, his latest project is a time machine built on a classy DeLorean car. To accomplish this, Brown has spent all his money and tricked a group of terrorists to get fuel for the machine: plutonium! Terrorists eventually find Doc and manage to kill him. Marty escapes in the DeLorean, jumping back in time until 1955. Without plutonium to get back, he's stuck at the time his parents.
Troubles are not over though. Doc travels into the future and finds out Marty's son is an idiot submitted to a nephew of Biff Tannen. Soon jailed, Marty has to change the future again. In the meantime, old Biff manages to steal the Almanac of Sports and bring it into the same '50s, to his young ego Biff.
Marty, with the help of the 1955 Doc Brown, finds the car hidden in a mine by the 1800s Doc. Along with the necessary explanations, Doc can repair the time machine, so that Marty can go home in 1988, once for all. Niet! Marty decides to bring back Doc to 1988 with him!
Man, don't I love this movie. It is the very first one I ever recorded with our first VHS videorecorder. I know most of the dialogues (in Italian, at least). Back To The Future's story recalls Wells' The Time Machine, but in a funnier, modern way. The Trilogy is based on too similar plots though: stuck in time, try to go back. This said, it's interesting how generations are influenced through time. In a way, BTTF adds fun to sci-fi, while keeping the drama (love, friendship). Doc Brown is the symbol of the crazy scientist, while Michael J. Fox never looses is charm. Good special effects, while some jokes are repetitive.
