Good, enjoyable feel good movie.

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2006)

Time travel is a difficult subject, but it's still used often in movies. Usually there's major plot holes, and there's some in this film too. But this is such a well-made movie that it's easy to forget the oddities in plot and just have a fun time. The character's in this movie are maybe it's major weakness, they are very one dimensional. But some characters, like Doc and Michael J. Fox's character Marty, are so good that it overcomes the weaknesses.
The film was continued with two sequels, neither of which are as good as the first, but they're not bad either. As a kid, I was much more interested in the future than the past that this first film deals with, and thought the second film was better. But now looking at them objectively, it's clear that this first film is the best. Overall it's a very enjoyable trilogy.
