Perfect escapism

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2008)

Michael J. Fox in the role that made him famous as Marty, a college kid, who is accidentally sent back in time into the 1950s with a time machine invented by Christopher Lloyd, in probably his most famous role as the odd professor.
Stranded in the past, Marty has to find a way to return Back To The Future, and make sure that he doesn't alter history in a way that might actually change the time and place that he originally came from.
Very well-structured, carefully thought-out mix of comedy and adventure which plays its premise to the full, right up to an incredibly tense and frantic finale.
Excellent special effects and production design make this trip back in time totally believable; a fine cast and sure-footed direction are other essential highlights.
First-rate escapist fare.
A perfect 10 stars out of 10.
