The Grandfather paradox goes boink!

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2005)

This movie is a marvelous exploitation of the grandfather paradox. This paradox is a supposed impediment for time travel: If a young man goes back in time and makes his grandmother fall in love, then, his grandfather cannot marry her, therefore, his father is never born and he is never born and can never go back in time to make his grandmother fall in love with him. (A paradox, in this sense, is, as said by Marty McFly in Back to the Future II, one of those things that can destroy the universe).
So, Zemeckis, with his amazing attention to detail, combines the talents of Christopher Lloyd and Micheal J. Fox to create one of the best science fiction movies of all time! It is a great comedy that attempts to laugh at how quickly does the past vanishes in front of the present, but also, how firmly does it remain (as firm as a Lone Pine Tree). Action packed, scientifically hilarious, Back to the Future is a movie that is icon of the 1980s.
