One of the Classics, and one of the best sci-fi adventure movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2019)

I can't believe it took me until my college days for me to finally watch this movie. This is one of the all time classics for sci-fi fans, adventure fans, movies in general, and I'm in that same group. An extraordinary film that I would put up there with Shawshank, or A New Hope, or The Last Crusade. It is so well crafted, directed, paced and acted. At no point in the movie do I feel bored, or check my watch, I'm engaged the whole way through and I'm always waiting for more.
The story, for those who don't know, focuses on a rebellious teenager named Marty McFly, who, after discovering that his friend, the slightly mad Dr. Emmeett Brown, has discovered time travel, turning his DeLorean into a time machine, is forced to escape after Brown is seemingly killed in a hit and run, sending him 30 years back in time to the 1950's. Once there, he seeks out the younger Doc Brown, needing to find a way Back to the Future. Along with that, he discovers the teenage versions of both his parents Lorraine and George, and after ruining his parents' first meeting, soon discovers he needs to get them together before he and his siblings all disappear forever.
Though there are a LOT of different character arcs, they all work themselves into the plot greatly and make it even more enjoyable and engaging to watch. Along with the characters, we get the main villain, Biff Tannen, the typical 80's jock bully who keeps getting in the way. It's funny seeing Marty accidentally getting his own mother infatuated with him as a teenager, and desperately trying to get her with his father George, who as a teenager is the typical nerdy, socially inept dweeb, and watching Marty help him find his confidence.
Not to mention that the score is phenomenal, on par with the Star Wars theme, the Indiana Jones theme or the Jurassic Park theme. When you hear it, you instantly remember stuff like the DeLorean, Doc Brown, the 80's.
This is one of my favourite movies, and I'm giving it a 10 out of 10. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend it.
