The start of a time travel trilogy that became timeless!

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2001)

The first in the triology from the Speilberg stable.
This is a fun, well thought out adventure led by Michael J Fox, who always has that charm to make a movie entertaining.
Fox, as Marty McFly, inadvertently stops his parents from meeting after being transported back to the 1950's. From this lies three movies which build upon each other for an enjoyable trilogy of time line mayhem.
Fox brings a fun element to a slacker teenager, thrown into a life or death quest that determines his own destiny. Lloyd, as the eccentric professor, makes a marvelous partner to the time bandits; and Thomas Wilson makes a bully that I think we all met in our younger days.
Back To The Future is one of those films that marks a time in cinema. It took four years for the sequels to follow, but they needed the time to match the wit and pace of the first.
