Great adventure/comedy with sci-fi elements

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2017)

Released in 1985, "Back to the Future" stars Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a teen who travels back to 1955 to meet his parents when they were teens (Crispin Glover & Lea Thompson). Christopher Lloyd plays the quirky Doc Brown while Thomas F. Wilson plays the villain, Biff. Claudia Wells is on hand as Marty's girlfriend.
This is a clever, fun and insightful fantasy that addresses the power of decision at critical turning points in life. It's easily the best of the trilogy, although the second one is almost as good, albeit goofier and more frantic. Everything clicks for a thoroughly entertaining viewing experience.
The film runs 116 minutes and was shot in South Pasadena, Pasadena, Whittier, Universal City, City of Industry, Newhall, Los Angeles, Burbank, Arleta and Chino, California. DIRECTOR: Robert Zemeckis. WRITERS: Zemeckis & Bob Gale.
