Back to the Future isn't a NEW movie. Part one came out in 1985, followed by parts 2 and three (89 and 90.) The movie was very popular with many scenes with different sets from different time periods, such as 1955, a DIFFERENT 1985, 2015, and 1885.The plot does not really jump around between time periods, unlike the show "lost". It's nice because You don't get confused as easily. Marty and Doc go somewhere at the beginning of the movie, and leave the place at the end. Of course, something dramatic has to happen that Marty has to fix.
The first movie got many nominations and awards (23 nominations, 13 wins) so two more parts were made. These were not AS successful as the first movie, but were still pretty good. Part II got 5 nominations and 8 wins, and Part III received 8 nominations and 4 wins.
Because this movie was so popular back in the day, many spin offs have been made. While president Obama was running for office, he had a bumper sticker that said "Barack for the future," using the logo above. An animated series came out of this movie, along with video games and theme park rides (these are now closed)
The cast celebrated their blue-ray release this week, which also marks the 25th reunion. The actors have definitely grown up. They are no longer teenagers, and look more like old people. You can view the NY daily news article here... Interestingly enough, the well known Micheal J. Fox (who plays Marty McFly) was not the original actor for that character, as this article reveals.
Now that it's getting closer to 2015 (The time period marty goes to in the second movie) it's cool to see how the directors thought that year would be like. Hover boards, flying cars, doors that can open with a finger print, and the ability to watch a bunch of T.V shows at once... Not so realistic now, is it?
